hello friends Ive been absent from forums for quite some time but tonight feels like hell I cant do anything right to mend a relationship Ive had for a number of months,whatever I do its wrong and it seems again Im the one to blame for it all,Im only human but last night and tonight I felt like S thinking about SH cause of family preassure, romantic relationship preasure ,housing preasure,ffinancial preasure,its starting to reach breaking point ,I feel like telling him to either Love me, Leave me or shoot me, feel so misunderstood and so misheard by everyone,both family and romantic partner ,Im lashing out and getting emotional,havnt eaten much last two days ,theres too much stress going on,but romantic partner is blaming me for things too,Im only human what else can I do when even trying to talk it out doesnt help,am I one of those people whos just destined to fail no matter what they do to try to succeed maybe I am just mental as he put it ? what do you do about things if you talk and talk and talk to someone about issues but not get anywhere

It sounds like you're having a really tough time with your romantic partner @LostAngel , it seems like they're not hearing you and being unfair in the way that they talk to you. Do you think it might be helpful to contact 1800 Respect for some advice? They do a lot of amazing work in setting healthy boundaries in relationships, maybe they can help you to find a way to feel heard and respected?

Hey @LostAngel  sorry to hear that yesterday & particularily last night was a tough one.
I am glad to read that you have one support person, however I am just wondering if it might be worth reaching out for further supports considering your experiences right now?

You may already have you’re preferred networks of supports but I will just also let you know that the Sane help centre is open between 10am-10pm if that is something worth a try?

As well as the forums space, we have peer support through phone calls or group chat here - if you want to chat with one our peer workers between 10am-4pm?

Take care & hope you were able to have some rest through the night
