Firstly. Thankyou if your taking your time to read this.It's been a while since I've been here. I haven't been feeling any good of late...well, this is the thing, I feel...nothing. My weights almost at 130kgs and my skin is falling and whats most worrying is that i don't care.I've withdrawn from my kids and family, I'm snappy, I rave on and on about the same stuff to my teenagers.I'm tired and everything's an effort, that I don't understand the meaning of.I'm so alone.I often do think, it'd be better for everyone, if I just stayed out of the way (permanently) And here's the kicker. I'm a social worker ...
At my wits end. I need to vent.

Hi there, This is my first post. I have contemplated posting but always thought against it.Well tonight just got the better of me a I was triggered to tears, I’ve had a gut full and feel like I’m just going round in circles. I need to vent.I try to break the negativity cycle, it just keeps going I’m so exhausted. I feel sad, used, walked over, unheard and ragged on almost on a daily basis. Here’s just a couple of things: I have been trying to get a promotion consistently for the last 3-4 years and keep getting knocked back. As I want to improve my family lifestyle. I train people that end up getting promoted over me again and again. (Found out another colleague got promoted today and in both cases I gave them certificates of appreciation for their work and contributions, when I was their supervisor).🥺 Come home to a husband that disagrees/combative and negative towards women, I never know what mood he’ll be in so I do what I do listen to gripes that end up being my fault. (He was pulling the blind down and got it hooked on the door and mumbles “Only happens when she’s home”)😢I just saw tonight that my sister and brother in law that live interstate just put their second rental house up for residents. 😞I cook something quick and simple for tea. (Tick, that was good) Go to have a shower after tidying up only to find one of my cats had shat in my pjs. 😤I just cried in the shower. At least I’m glad to say that I think my son was happy to see me.I know that these examples are nothing compared to what others deal with and I’m thankful for that.But I ask myself is this all me, what the hell is wrong with you. thanks for listening
Talking about mental health can be heavy. We get that. BB Social Zone offers a space where you can chill out and socialise with other members.

Hi everyone, This section of the Beyond Blue Forums is a little different to the others, as you may have noticed in looking at the discussions. Elsewhere on the Forums, we discuss some pretty heavy topics: mental health issues, thoughts of suicide, trauma, abuse, relationship breakdowns. Here is the place to come to get away from that and have a bit of fun. Distraction can be an important tool to draw on if you're finding yourself overwhelmed by distressing thoughts and feelings. As this is a section for respite from heavier topics, we will relocate any discussions about heavier topics to a more suitable section of the Forums. Happy posting! Beyond Blue

Hi everyone, Life can be hard sometimes, so I thought I might try something different here. And I figured it might be nice to share a little light. Has something (big or small, it does not matter!) that brought you a moment of joy this week? It could be as simple as a smile from a stranger? Good cup of coffee? a walk? Or something funny your pet did. I’ll start: After a day when I thought I did not accomplish much, my higher up sent me a text message in the evening, thanking for the help I had given during the day. And this put a smile on my face. Looking forward to hearing the little things that made your day a bit brighter

They told me I was nothing, just a shadow in the dark Tried to steal my voice, tried to break my heart But I am not a puppet, I won’t play their game I’m done being silent, I’m done with the shame I’ve been knocked down, I’ve been cast aside But I wo... View more
They told me I was nothing, just a shadow in the dark Tried to steal my voice, tried to break my heart But I am not a puppet, I won’t play their game I’m done being silent, I’m done with the shame I’ve been knocked down, I’ve been cast aside But I won’t stay buried, I was born to riseI’m a storm, I’m a fire, I’m a hurricane I won’t break, I won’t bend, I won’t fade away Let the chains fall, let the walls burn This is my fight, now it’s my turn They fed me lies and called it love Tried to clip my wings, said I wasn’t enough But I’ve seen the truth, and I’ve found my voice Now the battle is mine, and I’ve made my choiceEvery scar, every wound, just proof I survived They tried to bury me—guess what? I’m alive I’m a storm, I’m a fire, I’m a hurricane I won’t break, I won’t bend, I won’t fade away Let the chains fall, let the walls burn This is my fight, now it’s my turn I’m a storm, I’m a fire, I’m a hurricane I won’t break, I won’t bend, I won’t fade away Let the chains fall, let the walls burn This is my fight, now it’s my turn

APP??

Hello everyone, I don't know if it has been posted here before, but does beyond blue have an app? I tried looking, but I could not find anything. Just wanted to know because a lot of forums these days have their own apps.
