Well getting into mental health is harder then it sounds. There's a waiting period where I'm from, and I'm on a stupid list. Its just getting worse for me until I get help. But I'm still alive, I lost a friend the other day to overdose of fentinyl which is what all the junkies are moving to from heroin which I refuse to start doing. Its too dangerous and I don't want to start on another habit. Anyway I felt like it was a good time to check in and let everyone know I'm still alive and still holding on.

It's the same in Australia. When I needed help and finally reached out I had to wait two months before I could see someone! It was worth the wait for me even though at the time I was in a very dark place. Try and stay strong brother and talk to yourself in a compassionate voice. You've reached out which is an excellent start. When you mentioned that you don't want another habit just remember there are NA and AA meetings that are free to attend. People in those groups are really amazing and compassionate I hear 😉
