@nashy  Today is not good I tried calling the SANE Help Centre but they never called back this is why I don’t bother with helplines. 

@Snowie @Former-Member  thanks.

Oh dear @Eden1919, i can relate to that, I've never hadblck getting through on the helpline. But have with lifeline, suicide callback, and more recently I rang Beyond Blue the other day and found someone lovely. You keep Keep trying. Don't give up..

@Former-Member  I have had horrible experiences with lifeline, suicide call back, head space and kids helpline so I usually avoid helplines all together cause they usually make things a lot worse but I was feeling really bad and well I guess that is another one I should avoid. It is just so frustrating because people say help is out there but every time I try and acess it I am just let down and ignored. Or the help makes things worse. Idk why I should even bother trying at this point.

Sorry that happened to you @Eden1919 

I find helplines are sometimes useful, sometimes not so much. 

It does always help when you get someone who is kind and listens and helps you. But I know this does not always happen.

@Snowie  I am just over it and I hate that everyone just expects me to keep putting up with everything like that is an ok thing for someone to have to do. It isn’t and I am over it.

@Eden1919,:that's where the forums can help, connecting with ppl who know... it doesn't fix things but I find it takes the edge off to chat or just tell someone. But, No one person knows you better than you. Try hold it together. So what if we misfire or lose the plot sometimes... if we're not hurting anyone... Be kind to  yaself.  Keep chatting here.

[Snowie]

it is ok to be over it @Eden1919 I think we all feel like that at times.

You shouldn't have to put up with it like this.

I only wish it was better for you hun. I wish I could make it better, but I can't, so all I can do is stay here and listen.

[Eden1919]

@Snowie  Thanks I don’t expect anyone here to make it better but it is really exhausting when the professionals keep  there isn’t anything they can do to help and that you just have to deal with it. Like what if I can’t just deal with it what then what am I supposed to do if I am trying to stay alive because none of this supports long term survival. 

@Former-Member I am not allowed to lose it I am never allowed to have feelings or express them the way they are because that isn’t normal to others and I am not allowed to make them feel uncomfortable.
