Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
Thanks for your Hugs @Zoe7 Much appreciated.
Yes, when you or I is expected to be the "Strong one", to be there for everyone else (ie your family) - Who's there for us?
Being strong in the face of pain & loss, comes at a very high cost (emotionally & otherwise) - That cost is not recognised, quite often.
Not a healthy option or coping strategy either - Although sometimes forced on us.

Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
Exactly @Adge - we are left on our own with no support ourselves to deal with everything on our own I hate that that was (and is) the case for you too - super hard to get past and live with.

Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
Very true @Owlunar , boundaries are needed in everyday
We are learning to say no to jobs instead of saying yes all the time
Sometimes I think about my .y boundaries , took me a while to think what I have in place

Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
Hi @Shaz51 😄
I cant even access that site now Shaz. And even worse, I can no longer access the Get Support link on the Sane website. I had been using the Sane chat a lot over the past week or 10 days. And suddenly since Thursday, I cannot get into it either. I know its not active over the weekend, but I still cant get onto that area where it gives details of support options .. Eg Chat, book a call, phone counsellor, etc. So come Monday when chat is back on, I wont have access.
At a time I really need it, I have nothing. I feel very vulnerable and isolated.
I tried the things they suggested I should do, to try to fix. But nothing worked. Im beginning to feel that I am being deliberately locked out, from both the access to support, and the peer support. Maybe they think I have over used the chat facility? 😔

Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
Hi @Emelia8,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble accessing certain parts of SANE's website. I can assure you that you are not being deliberately locked out - I double checked and the website seems fine from my end. I'm not enough of an IT guru to resolve this for you, but I have flagged your concerns for the management team. Hopefully we will be able to work on a resolution to ensure you're able to access support as needed. Feel free to send an email to the Help Centre (helpline@sane.org) to let them know what is going on, or if you wish you can also send an email with your feedback to SANE via feedback@sane.org (read more about SANE's feedback and complaints policy here).
If you're in need of some extra support this weekend, please don't hesitate to reach out:
Lifeline: 13 11 14
Suicide Callback Service: 1300 659 467
Samaritans: 135 247
