G’day older,
Small steps mate, trust me on this. Even the smallest thing that makes your day better is a positive and please try to focus on this. Try not to worry about things that you can’t control.

Take care brother, hard to offer advice without sounding like a d!ck. But get rest, talk, don’t drink too much....if you do, don’t come down on yourself.
Keep talking on here if you feel that helps. Lots of great blokes (and one or two girls) always happy to help.
God Bless
Very wise words here mate.

Please take Whitelion’s advice on this. The mental health care plan will give you a number of sessions with a professional who can really help. What area of Perth are you in? I can start looking online for people who can help you.

I really understand the pit of despair you mentioned in your earlier post. I won’t go into detail here about my situation but please believe me when I say that I understand where your mindset is. You’re not alone here, you’ve reached out and there’s people here you can chat with who really understand.

Look at the new day as a new possibility, that’s what I do and most of the time it works for me. It didn’t always as I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel but with people helping me, I was able to see things more clearly. Like Whitelion, I’m not out of the woods yet either but I’m on the right track. I’ve had people help me and part of that deal is that you take what you’ve learned and use it to help others.

Keep your chin up mate.
