Hi @scared01 It's not nice having a bit of a nebulous low mood that's kind of continued. Today sounds like it has been quite productive and you're still moving in a good direction overall. Try not to forget the little things that are going right for you. I hope you're feeling a bit more settled despite the low.

Hi @mrmusic I'm really glad you're doing things to make you feel safe right now, let us know if anything changes. Remember you can always call Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800 or Suicide Callback Service 1300 659 467 if things get too much. What can you do to look after yourself tonight? Tom

Hi @DruidChild, I second what @mrmusic has said, look after yourself and it will put yourself in a stronger position to support others in the future. You can't give if the tank is empty. Hope you're going ok tonight. Tom

Hi @redhead, I'm sorry those things have happened for you tonight, that's really hard. Poor dog, I've seen a cat run over and it was horrible. Good on you for calling SCBS, that's a really good step, hope it was helpful to a degree. Is there anything else that's going to be distracting/relaxing after the night you've had so far? Tom

Hi @mrmusic That must be really frustrating dealing with all those forms and feeling you need to prove something. It sounds like you're really on top of everything though in terms of following things up. Sorry to hear the assignment isn't going well, hang in there! Tom

Hey @Iszy14, we are glad you found this post helpful and it's awesome to see you still using ReachOut. These issues are pretty important in figuring out who you are. Please feel welcome to create your own post if you like, as these are some pretty complex issues you've mentioned :)

It does sound like your life is going to be very busy in the next coming weeks @mrmusic! Deciding whether you are in the right degree/career path is so difficult.. so much so that I know there are people out there who are experts in this stuff! Does your uni have a career counselor? In the meantime, what do you think might get you through the next little while? I personally break things down into small little tasks, so I don't get overwhelmed :)

Oh sorry to hear @Nightruner23, it sounds like things have been rough. I really feel for you :( I remember when I sprained my ankle and it was so painful and I made my family carry me around everywhere How have you been looking after yourself? Do you think you might need to seek medical attention for your foot?

Awesome stuff, I am glad you have found a way to calm yourself @Jeplar. I use mediation too, whenever I am feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Great minds think alike!

Hey @roseisnotaplant, glad to hear that you have been doing really well. It sounds like you really are making the most out of every situation and that is a really lovely place to be. You are so right in that RO is a place for our positive and awesome times too, so thanks for sharing and reminding everyone else :) Awesome work @letitgo, being creative is so much fun!

I am glad your appointment went well @redhead, that is always a reassuring feeling! It sounds like you talked about a lot in your session today, well done as I know how you were feeling in the lead up. Talking about your diagnosis could be really helpful in getting you the support you need :) amazing work!

Hey @redhead, you know the next step in your plan is to contact a helpline or would you prefer to head into the ED? We are here to listen to you, but we are not the appropriate service for the support you need

I am sorry to hear that you are freaking out about what you are seeing, it must be really scary. I am glad you are thinking about keeping safe @redhead, what do you think you need to do to keep safe? I know you have managed to get through this before, so what has helped in the past?

Hey @mrmusic, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling so overwhelmed. It can be really challenging to manage work and uni especially when deadlines come up. Have you dealt with this sort of pressure before? The emotions you have listed sound like a really tough place to be. Being sick can be so frustrating when you have a lot going on. Have you engaged with any of your supports tonight? I know crying provides a release for you, but I was also wondering what self-care strategies have you been using?

Hey @scared01, it is hard to find something that really works for you. I admire your persistence in trying a whole heap of things, amazing job! You are so right, something will come along. Given how you are feeling tonight, I was wondering what supports you have engaged with? How are you looking after yourself?

I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling important or like your voice would be heard by your parents @hmm789. I know how isolating and lonely that could feel for you. It sounds like there has been a few options thrown around, how do you think you might start to open up the conversation with your parents so you can see a professional? Mental health is just as important as physical health :)

Hey @Tdozer, sorry to hear you haven't been feeling yourself. Talking to friends and family about what's going on can be really difficult at first. A lot of people find it easier to open up to helplines and sometimes this can prepare them to talk to people they know. Did you give Kid's Help Line a go?

Hey @redhead, I can see that reflecting on bulimia has bought up shame and loss for you. I can only imagine how hard things have been for you, especially this. You are so strong even when things are tough. I am not sure if a dentist can help, but do you think they might know who can?

Sometimes it's hard to figure out what to say when we have a lot to get off our chest, which can make us really anxious. It sounds like you have found a great place to start @redhead, let us know how you are travelling :)

Hey @Jeplar, great to hear that you have seen a counselor and a psychiatrist. It isn't easy to deal with school and family issues and you don't have to do it alone, so well done! What do you usually do when your emotions come back? Is this something you have talked about with your counselor/psychiatrist?

@DruidChild I can see what you mean when you said in an earlier post about being in a similar headspace (feeling suicidal and having that quite consistently). You're such a great support to others here, but of course, don't forget yourself. How are you feeling with it all this afternoon? Are you feeling safe? I also just want to say (in general and to us ALL) that therapy is such a hard thing to do. It can tear us to shreds if only with the hope in building us back up. Hopefully with a more solid foundation. It takes guts and I love how brave so many people are in sharing their stories and vulnrabilities.

@Eden1717 I'm really aware that you've been feeling so low and in so much pain. Considering that you're expressing feeling this so deeply and that you're at the end I want to check in with you. How are you feeling today? We might send you a quick message to touch base too.

Hey @redhead, It's Lina here- Are you feeling safe tonight? I just had a read of your other posts regarding your health issues. The uncertainty and waiting for results must be playing on your mind. How are you looking after yourself tonight?
