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

[ImFab]

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 time.

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.

I have tried on here but need professional help tbh.

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

I just told dh I am fighting with myself inside my head and I want him to get in my head and fix it.

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.

Do Mind do something online?

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.

hopefully u get the right support to help u big hugs x x x x

try MoodGym

it's very good, like online CBT

sorry you are struggling Fab

Thank you.

I am so cross with myself for letting myself get this bad again.

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.

my results

For more long term help you could use the tools on "moodgym" (sorry don't know how to add link)

you may get more ideas on this site

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

Hello
I was wondering if anyone else have mental health problems
my children are grown up I now look after my grandchildren and most days they are the best distraction but some days I just feel so low and sad
i feel like I carry so much and can’t seem to unload it’s making me physically poorly some days
I have health issues I do have a family who love and take care of me but you feel like a burden well I do
I just feel like I am so low and can’t take much more
any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks
