Thanks @nashy 💜 I've been keeping in touch with the help lines on a regular basis for a fair while now. However it's my idea of an ideal outcome in regards to a full recovery. But when I've mentioned feeling like a burden they've always confirmed I'm not... I'm struggling to be fully independent and fully functional and find myself relying on a variety of mental health supports that are in place... my intentions are good but my actions are a different story...

Hi @saturnzoon

Thanks for tagging me - I am sorry things got to the stage that you couldn't cope and had to be in hospital for a while - actually - I am glad you went to hospital - I needed to do that a long time ago when I had trouble coping with things - lots of short stays for years - they used to sedate me for a few days and then I would go home - always my decision - and cope better for having had the break.

I had reactive depression and things improved for me after there were several life-changes - some of which were unwelcome - others I arranged for myself - and it was all a long time ago

I still get anxiety at times and I have had a lot of that lately for various reasons - I can cope with it but not when my computer decided to give up the ghost - this is a new one and I am really happy with it - it's so fast and it's also smaller - I like to take my computer with me when I travel and this one is so much lighter than my old one

And I might find myself with two computers as the old one was still under warranty but I didn't want to wait three weeks to find out if they could fix it or not - now it doesn't matter and I use my computer a lot so if they break down after a couple of years I have expected it

I am glad you could see your Mum even if it was only for a few days - I wish you could see her more often - it might make a difference to your health

And I live in Melbourne so I think it's pretty cool here - apart from the hot and humid weather of course - I have been to a few cities since I started travelling in 2015 and this is still my favourite place though Tasmania could be a great place too

Even though things have been hard for you I am glad you have come back to the Forum family - people really care about each other here
