I'm so glad a thread like this exists. I'm new here so probably no one knows me, but if you ever need someone to talk with, feel free to send me a message, I'm not a professional in the field, but I'm someone that can listen with zero judge.

Remember that you matter, you are loved, and you are not alone.

was interesting to read! I was in the same boat, I think qualified specialist could help. Not so long ago I found Australian Counselling in Sydney. They offer a safe place to discuss what’s troubling me and they helped me in the hard times. I'm glad that I found local service with competitive prices. It's important to find the right specialist who will help you 'coz only qualified specialist can prescribe you the right treatment if you have a depression.

This place been great for getting me back on my feet after Covid - but I feel like I've become internet dependent/addicted, so now I need to draw the curtains and look to engage the real world a lot more.

So, this will be my last post on here for quite some time. To put it bluntly between losing my interest in several things I enjoy, being stressed to the max because my aunt and mom are fucking cunts and receiving news medical news today that pretty much broke me. I feel like the entire world is fucking with me or crashing in on me and I can't take it. All i want to do now is miss work and lay in my bed in a ball and just sleep and cry and hope shit gets better but I know it won't.

Many of you don't know, but when I was 21, I was pretty much a bastard as I was always drunk, I was just wild child to save some time on explaining and it was during this time that my dad got ill and eventually passed away. This broke me and made me spiral deeper and deeper into my vices, and I decided one night that enough was enough I was going to free myself so I got on my bike broke drive fast in the rain, and yeah you can guess what I was trying to do. I survived the crash, obviously, but the way I landed it caused my nerves in my arms, shoulders/shoulder blades to get fucked. I noticed my arms and all bugging me more as of late and when I went to the doctor I was pretty much told by the end of the year if I didnt change things in my life that I would have almost complete nerve damage in those parts of my body. And on top of that, I was told I have early onset of Rheumatoid arthritis. So yeah, that has broken me.

Now on top of that my mom and aunt have been stressing me the fuck out because I am forced to watch my grandmother, which normally wouldn't be bad, but she has dementia, and it is hard to take care of her because of that. My grandmother never approved of me being trans and will make comments "Weren't you a boy?", "You know God made you a boy and not a girl for a reason." and so forth and the shit is hurtful and gets to me. My aunt was supposed to take care of her, but she had a dumbass horse show this week that she "couldn't miss" and my mom just didn't want to deal with her. So, I am forced to, and I have been telling them about this assisted living home that is top rated and everything and has nurses that speak Russian, since my grandmother only speaks it, but both of them refuse to put her in a home like that because of bs reasons.

So yeah, I am going away for a while. How long that will be. I don't know. Could be a month or two, six months, a year, or whenever. I do want to say that I am legitimately grateful for everyone on here who has been kind, welcoming, and generally just great people to someone like me. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to come online and talk to.

I love you all.

Deth you are one one of the best people I've met online, and I'm very fortunate I've got chance to meet you on here. Very sorry to hear you're going through so much right now in your life. Totally understandable why you feel you need some time away from the site and just know we'll be here if you ever need somebody to talk with, my PM box is always open for you. Please take care, I'll be thinking of you.

I'm very happy to see such a thread in existance here, and having read just a few pages of stuff to get the feel of how people are here, I have to say it warms me to see such a supportive bunch.

Those that already know me will know i've had my battles and recently I have spent a big chunk of time away from having an online presence and have only really come back around in the past couple of days, i'll share some reasons for that in the hope it will help someone.

It has been brewing for a little while as I do have my own issues with anxiety and have previously had depression but it came to a point where I pretty much had a bit of a breakdown, and looking back I was too strong for too long and didn't allow myself time to look after my own mental health.

My Nan has been in and out of hospital due to falls...but the stubborn old girl will not listen to anyone, and seemingly nobody in the family is able to organise a piss up in a brewery so all that stuff fell on me to organise, which when added to an already struggling person isn't really helpful is it?

Add to this I have an almost 15 year old son who has ALN (Diangosed ASD and ADHD) who constantly craves my attention at all times, I just lost all interest in attempting to take the time I needed for me and just crumbled.

I am starting to feel more like myself again now though, and that's been through taking a page out of my Nans book and being a stubborn mule but I couldn't do it without the support of my pain in the ass wife. There's still plenty of work to do for me to be totally back to normal though, so I do look forward to reconnecting with our online community :)

I will add as an experienced head with mental health, I am always happy to lend an ear for when times are tough and will always support someone in their time of need....that means you will see me in this thread quite often.

Bit of a small update, but my aunt and mom have agreed to let my grandmother begin going to this assisted living place that has an adult day care and let her be there and all. Hopefully if she like sit out there they will make the choice to put there and all so, yeah that is all I have for now.
