Other than the samaritins is there any other on line support available?

I have meds for my physical issues but have emotional stuff that I am really struggling to work through and would like to be able to discuss it via email. Does anyone have any ideas please?

I will be back soon as I am half way through 2 jobs. Typical. I might do better if I did one thing at a timeHmm.

Sorry don't know of any online support - why do you want to discuss it via e mail. Canyou not post on here. The only other thing I can think of is Depressives Alliance though don't know if they do on line support and don't know if this would right for you anyway.

Some private counsellors do counselling via email. Obviously there would be a cost implication but might be worth considering.

There is definitely counselling of various types available online but I would be worried about not getting the right sort of feeling with someone online. Not sure why though.

Samaritans v good online fir support I have found but can't really advise.

I tried the samaritans but they couldn't help. They said to go away and think about things and I could came back if I needed too.

I am close to giving up tbh.

Is there a reason you can't see someone face to face? Because that is likely to be more help

I have tried that. I am too up and down and are fine for a while which is why I never really sort things I guess. Then a bit later it all comes back again. I am fighting myself. I am scared of the answers I might get. I lose patience with the kids because I resent being married with them and I want to run away and then I kick myself, sort it out and are fine. Until the next time.

Don't give up on the Samaritans.

I'm guessing that the reason they would have told you to go away and think about things, is that they can only do so much work in a call or online chat. They will have a time limit and when a certain time has past, or they feel they have done as much work as they can, they will end the call or chat. I know this because I do online and phone work with children. There is only so much ground you can cover in one contact.

It's fine to get back to them again and just keep using the service as much as you need it. If it's not working, ask them if they can tell you about other resources.

ImFab you must not feel cross with yourself. You didn't ask for any of this, it's not your fault.

Do you not want to speak to somebody in person? You say you have medication for physical issues but not emotional, have you been to your GP? They really can help.

I hope you're OK.

Thank you. Blush as I have several emotional threads going and hadn't realised that actually the issues on each are all linked.
