Wow, thank you so much for sharing this with us @CavingDreamer. I want to give you a big, warm welcome to the forums and really honour the beautiful way you've just articulated yourself and your experiences. I am still letting them sit with me. I know that things have felt very vulnerable, painful, and isolating as of late... and that the right support has been hard to come by, but I genuinely feel like you will experience some wonderful, healing connections here. I shall let you explore the space a bit and find what feels good, but I am more than happy to tag you in some chats you might resonate with and answer any questions you may have. 

Overall, we're all here to support you in any way we can! 💛

Hi,

I’m new to Sane but have struggled with MH for most of my life (36yo).

most recently I was in hospital for 2.5 weeks and another 2.5 weeks at a community recovery centre. I’ve been home full time for almost two weeks now and gosh it’s hard.

TW: Suicde Attempt

Content/trigger warning

I did not expect to survive my attempt at taking my life. I’ve on and off had SI but had never acted on the thoughts until last month. 

anyway, trying to get my life back together after a pretty traumatic time. 
starting up regular therapy again and will be going to an ACT group fortnightly.
