Dear Rarra,
We're sorry to read how difficult things are for you right now. It must feel so uncomfortable to have a crushing pressure in your chest and feel the need to escape your own skin. Feeling disconnected and lonely during a time like this must also be really hard. We feel for you. We're not sure if you're receiving professional mental health support, but If so, keep in mind that mental health progress is not always linear; people will feel better, then feel worse, then feel better again. You felt quite good the last few months and you can (or most likely will) feel good again.
We're so glad you posted here, especially because you feel so disconnected and lonely. You do not have to go through this alone, and our community is here to support you.
If things become too distressing and overwhelming for you, please remember that here are always crisis support services available such as at Lifeline (13 11 14), Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467), or emergency services (000 – Triple zero) if you find yourself to be in immediate danger.
Of course, you are always more than welcome to contact our dedicated support line, staffed by mental health professionals, which is available 24/7 on 1300 22 4636 or on Webchat 3pm-12am AEST on our website:
www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport. If you aren't yet linked in with a mental health professional, they can also help you with referrals in this regard.
Again, we're so glad you posted and shared how you're feeling. Please do continue to post as you see fit. We're always around to offer support.
