I've always tend to stick my head in the sand if I'm struggling mentally, however, I posted for the first time a few weeks ago when life got too hard.
I think desperation causes you to act in abnormal ways.

Just a friendly bump to always try and reach out if you need a chat.
Someone I know in Brisbane decided to call it a day earlier in the week, ending up on life support after his fiancé and sister found him and tried to revive him.
Having never been in the situation I can’t fathom how quickly the mindset can change on a personal level. A few days earlier he had bought a reptile that lives for 20+ years, was planning his holiday activities with his partner and 2 young kids, and then out of the blue decided to call it a day without warning.
Extremely heartbreaking to see his partners posts about how one of his son’s is trying to cope with the situation.
Inbox is always open if anyone needs an ear.

I’ve had a much better time of it over the past maybe 9-10 months but it was my birthday on Saturday, got a couple of token gifts from my 15/16 year old sons (which meant a lot don’t get me wrong), but no effort from my ex to give them money to buy something for me - something I pride myself on doing for them.
I sent them to Sydney this morning to be with her for Christmas and a lot of the holidays, again armed with presents for her and even one for her partner, because that’s what you do. Doesn’t appear like she’d organised anything in the reverse.
As time goes on since she moved away for work, and she has them one day a week (Saturdays they catch a 3.5 hour train to Sydney and catch it back the next day) life has just turned into me being both mum and dad. The workload of doing absolutely everything for them is starting to catch up with me and it feels like I literally have no time to do anything, and even things like answering the phone feel time consuming: my mum ringing to check on me, my best mate wanting to have coffee before work a few times a week. It all feels like a chore and I just want people to leave me alone.
The only person I want to hear from and be around aside from the kids is my partner who lives 100km away and I get to see once every blue moon.
I don’t feel like self harming or anything but would just love to switch the phone off for a week and f**k off where no one can contact me for a week at some point and not be a part of society
