Hi @Bel_RO
Thank you for your reply. It feels good to let out my worries to an audience rather than to a book, I tried journalling a year or so ago but never felt I could get into it. I know I have more to talk about and no doubt will post to some other spaces.
I haven't considered professional help, apart from a couple GP visits. Perhaps I could have benefited from that help earlier but mentally I'm happy where I am at the moment.
I'm not comfortable discussing with my family. my parents have high expectations of me to succeed and they will see it as just weakness, they sacrificed alot to give me a good education. I knwo my father in particular as suffered unimaginable pain and I know my problems will never be as big as his, hence why im hesistant to ever bring anything up especially to him.
Fortunately, I know i have one friend inter-state who I can talk to. I know if im ever feeling these feelings again I have them which is great.
I will be sure to read through the articles you provided, thank you so much for linking them. I will explore the PeerChat. I have also replied to that email.
Thank you
