Hey alexmw,
Welcome to the forums, and thank you for your bravery in sharing here. We can hear you’ve been going through some really difficult things for several months, and it's been really scary time. We’re really glad you could come to the forum to share this with our community. We know it isn’t easy to share something like this, but we think it’s a powerful step and we really appreciate your openness and bravery in sharing.
We’ve reached out to you privately to make sure you’re ok. If you want to reach out to our counsellors to talk this through, we’re on
1300 22 4636, and you can reach us online here. A few more options are
KidsHelpline on 1800 55 1800, Lifeline on 13 11 44, and Headspace on 1800 650 890. All of these options are also available through webchat, if you'd prefer:
It's great to hear you're glad to be here today. Is there anything you think helped you through those really scary moments earlier this week and helped you to find that feeling of safety?We’d love to hear if there’s anything coming to mind.
We’d really recommend having a look at the Beyond Blue safety planning app, Beyond Now.
You can read about how it works and where to download it here. You can even call Lifeline and compete it with one of their counsellors over the phone if you'd like.
Hopefully, you’ll hear from this lovely community soon. Maybe you could help them along by letting us know what kind of support you have at the moment, and if anyone around you is helpful or understanding with how you’re feeling?
Kind regards,
Sophie M
