Where do I start?

[Guest_81325604]

Wow....I am new to this site, and this may be my only post as I'm not sure if I will gather the nerve to come and post again. I think Beyond Blue does great things to provide mental health support. I'm stuck emotionally. I lack motivation both physically and mentally and thought, heh, I should seek help. I have come here and it's good to see that so many people feel free to share. I hope that is helpful for them. I suppose just writing this is therapeutic. Well, I'm not going to share my problems as there is too much to tell and feel it is not beneficial for me, but, for those who are gaining something here, well done to you. Thanks to the counsellors on the site as you are also likely reading some really sad stuff and it must get difficult to see so many people with mental health issues. Well, since I don't feel I am gaining anything from this, I will end it here. Thanks.

Hello Dear Guest,

A very warm welcome to the forums..

It can be very difficult and hard to post here on the forums and you are so brave in doing so..

Thats okay, if you don’t feel like sharing your problems, that’s entirely up to you…no pressure here at all….But why not stay for a while and get to know some of us first…We are a very caring and supportive community..

Thinking of you with kindness and care…

Grandy..

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Congratulations on making your first post. I’m really glad that you found your way to this community and have said hello.

As Grandy said, there is no pressure to post or share. Many people benefit from the forum by reading the posts and responses of others, and still others benefit by helping others. 
I hope you will stick around and engage with the forum in any way that suits you.

Kind thoughts to you

Hello! 

Sharing what troubles you is hard! You may be thinking "why bother? No one will read it or care anyway so what's the point?" Or something to that effect. But did you know, that more often than not, people will read it because they get it? Or experience similar? Or the same? It can be helpful to share so you can feel less alone. You took the first step by coming to the forums, and value yourself enough to want more for yourself 🙂 keep that up! And maybe it will help to share something of your troubles? You won't know for sure until you try 😉 until then, hang in there! Youre doing great!
