Hi @kato 

Please don't apologise or feel like a downer. We don't see it that way. We just want to help - so I'm sure I don't speak alone when I say that I'm really glad you came on here and shared what's going on.

There's no denying it - you received some pretty tough news today and it's not surprising that it's got you down. Don't be too hard on yourself for what you're feeling.

I know it's really hard for you to think about anything positive right now, but how about we put together a plan of how to get you through the next few months. It already sounds like you have some things lined up that could contirbute to the plan - you're seeing a new psychiatrist and you have an appointment with a psychologist coming up. I know you will be honest and straight forward with them about what you're going through, so I'm sure they will have strategies to contribute to a plan of keeping you safe.

I also think it would be worth 'visiting the forums' as part of your plan. Once a day, even if you don't feel like it, schedule in 1 visit. Perhaps make it for 7pm nightly?

While I'm not saying that things will spike back up to the good mood you were in yesterday, it would be beneficial to have some things in place to at least keep you safe for the time being.

Another part of the plan could be to call one of the following numbers;

Menshelpline 1300 78 99 78 ( online counselling - https://www.mensline.org.au/user/register

Lifeline: 13 11 14 (online counselling - (Crisis chat https://www.lifeline.org.au/Get-Help/Online-Services/crisis-chat)

Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 (online counselling - https://www.suicidecallbackservice.org.au/register

What else could we add to the plan?
