Hi @tyme
I tried to read one of the transcripts, I saved it.
Thank you for your kind words @Former-Member
I was able to contact a support line. I feel worse than before. I find it so incredibly difficult to explain what’s happening and I know it’s just as difficult for someone to understand. I don’t think there is any help out here. It’ll be ok. I’ll be ok. I just feel very very alone and so far away. I have fears but they come across wrong. I have questions but I can’t get to them. But I won’t go home to where my support system was. I can’t, I won’t and I don’t. I would like to be understood. I just feel incredibly alone right now, but I’ll be ok, I’ve always been ok. I’ve always ended up being ok. All is well.

Hi @petrichor
I'm not great with online either. I've just sent an email to your new address.

Hi @petrichor
It sounds like you’ve been managing incredibly difficult thoughts and feelings in very challenging circumstances. Living remotely with your usual supports so far away is challenging at the best of times. You’re doing well to find ways to connect with others here on the forums and via a helpline. Even if talking didn’t feel so helpful at the time, it shows that you are resourceful and courageous in seeking support when you’re struggling.
Do you think it would help to reach out again today, from the phone box? Sometimes it can take a few goes of talking to help clarify some of the thoughts and feelings in your head; and just having someone sit with you can take some of the alone-ness away.
Or do you think there’s something you can do for yourself to feel a tiny bit better? I can see from your posts that you’ve been through some really tough times on your own in the past. I wonder what it was that helped then…?
Look after yourself today @petrichor and please let us know how you’re doing when you can 💜
And if you do get to the phone box to reach out, here are a few numbers you could try:
SANE Support Centre: 1800 18 7263 (10am-10pm AEST)
Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467 (24/7)
The Samaritans: 135 247 (8am-8pm AWST)
Lifeline: 131 114 (24/7)
In an emergency, call 000

Hi @Former-Member
ok. Thank you. I don’t know what to do. The helplines didn’t want to text with me the last time. I think I’ll have a shower. I’ve missed Telehealth because of reception. I’ll have to figure something out.

It feels pretty hopeless to reach out.
i just want to be independent again and trust myself. I’m pretty angry with myself. Break the chains. Fly away.

Hey @petrichor ,
I'm sorry reaching out seems hopeless to you. Can you share you thinking around this?
And yes, recovery is about being independent and being able to trust and love yourself. Let's walk this through together. I'm ready and waiting to sit with you in this.
