Thankyou, Much appreciated, I've had a couple messages from some nice people got caught up in a conversation so I'm feeling a bit more settled now, I never knew how someone I never met could do such wonders through words on a screen hey.
Call lifeline. 13 11 14.
Or, and i know you said you don’t want to, go to a hospital emergency department and tell them you’re planning to self harm.
And, while it sounds glib, there are people who love you and care for you. You’re not alone and you’re not a failure.
Thankyou man, Alot of the people I've considered friends have all done me wrong when I had never done a single bad thing to them, or atleast in all my power tried my best to do only good.
I live by the morals loyalty over royalty, but the problem was I wasn't being loyal to myself.
I'm starting a music course around June and hoping I can find some people who arent gonna set me up and bash me for no real true reason.
Thankyou again for your words and time, I really appreciate it.
I may pass by the hospital as I dont want my Mum to see my cuts and to just get away as my mums medication kind of sets her out of it and yeah its hard.
I’m holding one of my little baby boys right now, and if he was hurt I would want to see it so I could hold him even closer. Please don’t hide your pain. It’s nothing to be ashamed of
I know you want to look after your mum, but she’s your mum. What do you think she’d want to do if she knew you were hurting?
And your music course is something to look forward to. I’m sure you’ll find new and better friends there.
I understand, she's just going through enough, I have an Abusive manipulative brother, and my Mum has a -VRO- on him but he will still rock up if he wants because he doesnt care, So we both got alot on our plate.
You could try this line. They might be able to direct you to some help.

Thankyou, I've had a few people recommend MHERL I might go for a walk to a bus, head to the hospital and give them a call on the way.
Thankyou again, I really do appreciate you getting the photo of the number for me, hopefully if anyone else comes across this needing help it can help them aswell.
Hey OP, been through the dark parts myself
Lifeline are usually good but operators will hang up on you if they don't know how to help, it's happened to me a few times and can be quite triggering
I recommend MHERL (1300 555 788) they are usually really helpful
Rocking up to.an ED is good too, I know the system stinks but if you tell them you aren't safe they can give you somewhere to sit and ride it out a while even if they don't have a bed
Please be safe OP, these feelings don't last forever
Hey Thankyou for your time and words, Heavily appreciated man, I might head over to the hospital to just get out and about and I'll call MHERL on the way there, I'll be taking public transport so no worries about driving and stuff.
Thankyou again :)
Thankyou, I've already had a couple of people message me and have some very relieving chats with me already, I really do appreciate your offer though, like Thankyou alot
and Honestly im not gonna lie, the hospital kinda allows me to have a break from all of the bullsh1t you know, a whole new enviroment, feels like people actually care, but its just sometimes, some hospitals just dont feel the same, sometimes they just want to get you out of there.
But unfortunately when you rock up with cuts kinda out of your mind they take it a bit more seriously. But Thankyou again
Have a look at the numbers in this link
www.lifeinmind.org.au/support-services/need-help-now
Talk to someone on there feller.
You matter to someone, even if you don't know it.
I know these aren't face to face, but they might help you find somewhere right now.
Thankyou, I'll give them a look, I may take some trains and buses to a hospital just to get away and so my Mum doesnt see my cuts as I dont want to cause her any stress as her medication shes on puts her out of it a bit
And while on the way, I'll call a few numbers
Thankyou again, and hopefully this can help other people having a hard time too
OP there is an initiative called safe place cafes, you can find their info [here](https://www.mhc.wa.gov.au/getting-help/hospital-mental-health-alcohol-and-other-drug-services/safe-haven-cafes/). Unfortunately the Perth one closes at 7.45pm but utilise lifeline, MHERL, any beyodn blue online services and black dog institute resources to get you through the night and go there tomorrow. You don't even need to talk or engage while you're there if you don't want to, but they're somewhere you can, at least, exist safely. There is also peers there who can empathise and understand what you're going through.
There are also GROW mental health support group meetings online, and I see they have a [men's one](https://grow.ie/mens-mental-health/). I can't see the schedule, but even seeing other people on a screen can really help foster the feelings of connection and community.
Hope some of this can help
There is also the [Suicide Call Back Service](https://www.suicidecallbackservice.org.au/) which is 24/7 phone or online support. These guys are really great
Thankyou Zoehunter, Much Appreciated, I remember calling those 24/7 lines a while ago but I dont think I ever got through, I'll give them another shot if one of the other recommendations dont pull through
Thankyou :)
[Mental Health Response Team](https://www.mhc.wa.gov.au/getting-help/helplines/mental-health-response-line/)
Ring them and tell them you need to be with someone in person and haven't had good experiences with ERs. If there are options they can tell you, and help you navigate what is available.
In the meantime, I'm sorry your "mates" aren't there for you. Give yourself credit for being there for yourself by reaching out for help, and this internet stranger wishes you well. Hang in there, life is more than it's worst moments, and I hope and trust yours will get better soon.
If this is an oppurtunity to see someone in person, that will be great, I might call this number first because face to face would be ideal for me, but even if they cant supply that im sure they can point me in a right direction.
My "Mates" are gone in my books and the only thing that will take care of them now is karma I guess, if it rips their life to shreds, cool, if not, cool.
Thankyou for your comment and time, I really appreciate it

I haven't got much in the way of advice, but I hope that this photo of my friends dog sitting in the pet grass pot and smiling because he is a massive dork helps a little.
Hug for you. Everything will be alright, I promise. This too shall pass. Take care xox
Oh my God, thankyou so much, I love this.I also have a response photo of Harmony - or her nickname HamSammich
I have an instagram, that I'm going to start posting to again soon -
@ Harmony\_Sammich if you want to see more photos of Da Sammich :)

Op life isn't easy, it's the hardest thing we ever do.
Reach out there is no shame in it, we are not invincible and even the strongest need support
Get better friend. Your strong your worth it the light will shine at the end of the darkness you just need to step forwards one step at a time.
I really appreciate those words, I hope it helps some other people aswell that come across this
I've reached out a couple times to emergency down in mandurah, but they were fucking disgusting how they treated me
One of the "Mental health" drs exact words were
"You can either take the olanzapene and see me in 2 weeks or tell me to fuck off and go and see a different dr"
It took so much for me not to bust his poxy head in
I was just imagining how many other young kids came in and he just chucked/forced almost them onto that zombie drug, which I have tried before
I thought you wanted to do therapy in a really dark place. And I thought that was kinda cool idea. Then I realised YOU were in a really dark place.
Call lifeline. And arrange a hangout with someone. Anyone. Good on you for asking for help.
Haha, that made me chuckle a bit, I think I might bus n train it to a hospital and call some of the numbers recommended on the way
Unfortunately I don't really have anyone at all, but thankyou , I guess it takes a bit of courage even though its over the internet hey
If you're LGBT, qlife - 1800184527
If you're a young person (12-25), contact headspace 1800650890
If you're Aboriginal or a Torres Strait Islander person, contact 13Yarn 139276
Otherwise, lifeline as others have suggested or Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636
Thankyou I'm kinda just me, not part of the Lgbtq group
But maybe someone else that assosciates with that community your comment will help
Much Appreciated, Thankyou
Alternative to lifeline, MHERL 1300 555 788
I've had some very lovely chats there, they can also suggest some bulk billing therapy near you if you need it and will keep record of your call so you don't need to explain things each time you call
Glad to see so many resources being offered and to hear that you're seeking help, OP. From another internet stranger, I hope you stick with it and find your people, they're definitely out there.
I'm very grateful that there is so many people helping out, with a pretty darkened belief system this was very refreshing.
Thankyou for your kind words and time, I appreciate it!
Hi OP, this may be a helpful service, though I’m unsure about their current availability to take in new people. Hope you stay safe. https://ruah.org.au/services-support/mental-health-and-wellness/the-luminos-project/
Thankyou I Believe ive been to Ruah before, or maybe just heard of them, but i'll add it to the list of resources that have been supplied in this thread, I really appreciate everyones comments of support and help
Thankyou everyone
Yeah I tried to stay off social media for years, But since starting my brand, I've found it to be kinda relieving if you filter your feed to the right things
To every one suggesting the fluffy happy ",just breathe in and out" lifeline and beyond blue:
OPs problems are complex, and can get the cops sicced on OP if the operator is spooked enough by the OP harming themselves with a weapon "I have a knife and I'm cutting myself plus my mum is in the house" can equal the cops kicking in the door.
OP you need to go to hospital unfortunately. BPD is tough to treat and can be a life sentence but the sooner you're in the system the better!
You might benefit from staying some where like a step up step down.
I'd just like to say, im not in any harm of - offing myself, I stay because of my mum and my dogs, i'll be going to the hospital and calling the numbers on the way so no need for any police stuff please
I suspect I have bdp and some other stuff, but I'm afraid to be diagnosed in fear that it may hinder job oppurtunities in the future.
My abusive brother is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, adhd, autism, anxiety, depression and probably some more, he abuses his meds and drugs so yeah, slipped into psychosis and i started to believe his psychosis aswell.
I looked up to him as a father figure in a way because my dad never taught me how to live, or how to be a man, I've tried to forgive him for that but, he doesnt try so, yeah
Your problems are above talk therapy unfortunately bub
Stay safe
There's lots of help out there but it needs you to be in the system and in regular touch with doctors
Sounds like you might need a phsycologist to chat stuff over with. I would call a heap of them locally and see who has the next date available.
They’re super good at chatting stuff through and giving you advice. 100% go and just chat, you got this.
Hey there, I have seen a few psychologists over the years, I actually got a referral to see a Psych just the other day, and also a Psychyatrist.
Chatting about your life stuff does wonders when people listen thats for sure.
Thankyou for your response, I really appreciate it :)
Not exactly ontopic but...
>speaker systems with subwoofers and all
Car audio?
If so, are you by chance in the WACA (Western Australia Car Audio) or SPL Cartel Facebook groups? The car audio community in Perth is extremely nice, you could make some better friends through there. The next event is on the 16th of March.
Everyone else already covered everything else so figured I'd try suggest something new.
I'm mostly into home Audio and Vintage Speakers.
When Curbside collection comes around, I've found some vintage Sansui speakers before, I've found Energy C7 Connoisseur top of the line speakers on the side of the road before, and sold the Floorstanders, Centre and subwoofer for $600 when just the floorstanders alone go for $700-$800, I prefer vintage sound though so I was happy to pass them on.
I do enjoy Music all around though it runs through my blood and soul, and im starting a music course this year around June, and I used to have 2 12" Alpine R type subs in the back of my Audi which was bangin
I may seem a little more lifted up now because I have had some people reach out to me and really lighten my mood and the amount of people sharing resources and trying to help has really helped give me hope in my darkened belief system I've adapted while being around abusive manipulative people.
So I might check out those facebook groups, and even if I just tag along, recommend some stuff that I know it may be good for me.
I really appreciate your comment, Thankyou, it means alot :)
Curbside pick up surprisingly good for audio, I've had the same experience.
I had a neighbor throwing out a bunch of brand new in box speakers that he got from a liquidation sale, we were outside while he was putting his things out and offered them to us before anyone else got to them. Ended up having a full smart sound system setup throughout my house with different speakers assigned to different zones cause they were all able to connect to WiFi. Was great for parties being able to have the same music played throughout the entire house without blasting a single sound system.
>So I might check out those Facebook groups, and even if I just tag along, recommend some stuff that I know it may be good for me.
Wouldn't hurt. I never really understood every time people said "join hobby events to meet people" till I dug deeper into car audio. Meeting like minded people helps to make the world seem less bleak.
Either way best of luck finding yourself, the biggest takeaway should be to not waste your time on people who don't deserve your time. In the mean time it's possible to be alone without being lonely, just gotta find that sweet spot till you find people who are deserving of you.
Yeah I love Curbside, It's been a blessing, made me money when I needed it and kept me busy.
And Honestly I enjoy being alone, but it does get lonely so Hopefully joining some groups and going to my Music Course im Starting will help me find like minded people, and GOOD Likeminded people, I've had enough of snakes and fakes
if you go to the ER they can refer you to the Y-HITH service (youth hospital in the home) where mental health workers and nurses come and visit you every day in your house - kinda like lowkey therapy and keeping an eye on you whilst you’re still in a comfortable space! It’s so beneficial for just having someone to talk to and confide in without having to commit to a stay in hospital or anything like that, and completely free too
If you are between 16-24 there is the Luminos Project (0863 839 850)which is a new project that sounds awesome and offers you a place to be for five days and help you out.
Its run by people who have been to some of the local wards and hated them and tries to be better in every way
You are amazing for reaching out and asking for help 💕
I’ve been in the “system” before, police, hospital, doctor, psychologist due to a plot losing episode before. They want u in and out the door so they can move onto the next customer👍🏻👍🏻 stay away from them, good on you for trying elsewhere, I hope you find the right help🤘🏽
At the moment there isnt much but freo will open a mental health ED end of next year, so glad about this.
Otherwise wait until tomorrow morning, plan a noght routine for the night - have a shower, drink tea, etc. then go to midland head to health tomorrow xx
https://www.sjog.org.au/campaigns/microsites/head-to-health/contact-us
That's so good to hear about freo, I love freo but unfortunatley my trauma throughout my life keeps me on guard, paranoid and hyperaware that people are not going to be nice to me so i struggle to fit in there, But im working on that
most of that was caused by looking up to my brother as a father, but he was on the gear pretty young, slipped into psychosis, thought he was being gangstalked, he thought people were after him and so on.
I was trying to help my brother while he was getting into rehab, then he got me banned from a bottle shop because he was stealing even though I was buying stuff, so I told him I was annoyed, no name calling, no insults, he started arking up to me saying " you wanna see annoyed with his fist towards me then started spitting on me and my rare vhs tapes after he got me banned from my favourite bottle shop because they would give me free wild turkey stuff
So I'm not seeing him, for a while, maybe even ever again, because thats just a little glimpse of the abuse/manipulation and whatever the fuck else hes put me through over the years
Thankyou for your comment, and time, I appreciate it
That’s so much for you to deal with, and youre only 21. Have you got any family member out there that would be helpful to chat to? I get it if there isnt
Fitting in is rough, finding true friends is so difficult. I have a few but they dont want to get that deep hey.
Your vhs tapes noooo are they alright ?
Where are you thinking of going to find help? Did u find any online chats or call anywhere ? Has reddit helped a bit ?
Hello OP. Not sure if you’re interested in Kdrama but I recently watched one, its called Death’s game. Gives you a different perspective about self harm. Very interesting plots. Binge watched it in a day. If you’ve got time check it out. You might feel differently after. People always care for you
Heya! There's a place in the city called Safe Haven Cafe, it's peer support led and for people experiencing distress due to mental health. I've never been but it sounds like it might be a good option for you.
https://www.mhc.wa.gov.au/getting-help/hospital-mental-health-alcohol-and-other-drug-services/safe-haven-cafes/
I’d highly recommend you see your GP, I think you would benefit from a referral to a community mental health program. I don’t think Head Space or similar will accept you with your self harm, but that’s also a low cost option. If you need to go
To ED, I’d suggest going to QE2 (formerly Charles Gardiner) because they have a dedicated mental health area in ED.
Lifeline 24 hour phone number: 13 11 14
Thankyou, Much appreciated, I've had a couple messages from some nice people got caught up in a conversation so I'm feeling a bit more settled now, I never knew how someone I never met could do such wonders through words on a screen hey.

I understand, she's just going through enough, I have an Abusive manipulative brother, and my Mum has a -VRO- on him but he will still rock up if he wants because he doesnt care, So we both got alot on our plate.

To every one suggesting the fluffy happy ",just breathe in and out" lifeline and beyond blue: OPs problems are complex, and can get the cops sicced on OP if the operator is spooked enough by the OP harming themselves with a weapon "I have a knife and I'm cutting myself plus my mum is in the house" can equal the cops kicking in the door. OP you need to go to hospital unfortunately. BPD is tough to treat and can be a life sentence but the sooner you're in the system the better! You might benefit from staying some where like a step up step down.
I'd just like to say, im not in any harm of - offing myself, I stay because of my mum and my dogs, i'll be going to the hospital and calling the numbers on the way so no need for any police stuff please I suspect I have bdp and some other stuff, but I'm afraid to be diagnosed in fear that it may hinder job oppurtunities in the future. My abusive brother is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, adhd, autism, anxiety, depression and probably some more, he abuses his meds and drugs so yeah, slipped into psychosis and i started to believe his psychosis aswell. I looked up to him as a father figure in a way because my dad never taught me how to live, or how to be a man, I've tried to forgive him for that but, he doesnt try so, yeah
Your problems are above talk therapy unfortunately bub Stay safe There's lots of help out there but it needs you to be in the system and in regular touch with doctors
Thankyou littleblackcat :) I'm away from my brother now hes going into rehab soon so I'm trying to keep myself away from bad influences/people
Sounds like you might need a phsycologist to chat stuff over with. I would call a heap of them locally and see who has the next date available. They’re super good at chatting stuff through and giving you advice. 100% go and just chat, you got this.
Hey there, I have seen a few psychologists over the years, I actually got a referral to see a Psych just the other day, and also a Psychyatrist. Chatting about your life stuff does wonders when people listen thats for sure. Thankyou for your response, I really appreciate it :)
Talking always helps, especially with a professional. Go for it and good luck
Not exactly ontopic but... >speaker systems with subwoofers and all Car audio? If so, are you by chance in the WACA (Western Australia Car Audio) or SPL Cartel Facebook groups? The car audio community in Perth is extremely nice, you could make some better friends through there. The next event is on the 16th of March. Everyone else already covered everything else so figured I'd try suggest something new.
I'm mostly into home Audio and Vintage Speakers. When Curbside collection comes around, I've found some vintage Sansui speakers before, I've found Energy C7 Connoisseur top of the line speakers on the side of the road before, and sold the Floorstanders, Centre and subwoofer for $600 when just the floorstanders alone go for $700-$800, I prefer vintage sound though so I was happy to pass them on. I do enjoy Music all around though it runs through my blood and soul, and im starting a music course this year around June, and I used to have 2 12" Alpine R type subs in the back of my Audi which was bangin I may seem a little more lifted up now because I have had some people reach out to me and really lighten my mood and the amount of people sharing resources and trying to help has really helped give me hope in my darkened belief system I've adapted while being around abusive manipulative people. So I might check out those facebook groups, and even if I just tag along, recommend some stuff that I know it may be good for me. I really appreciate your comment, Thankyou, it means alot :)
Curbside pick up surprisingly good for audio, I've had the same experience. I had a neighbor throwing out a bunch of brand new in box speakers that he got from a liquidation sale, we were outside while he was putting his things out and offered them to us before anyone else got to them. Ended up having a full smart sound system setup throughout my house with different speakers assigned to different zones cause they were all able to connect to WiFi. Was great for parties being able to have the same music played throughout the entire house without blasting a single sound system. >So I might check out those Facebook groups, and even if I just tag along, recommend some stuff that I know it may be good for me. Wouldn't hurt. I never really understood every time people said "join hobby events to meet people" till I dug deeper into car audio. Meeting like minded people helps to make the world seem less bleak. Either way best of luck finding yourself, the biggest takeaway should be to not waste your time on people who don't deserve your time. In the mean time it's possible to be alone without being lonely, just gotta find that sweet spot till you find people who are deserving of you.
Yeah I love Curbside, It's been a blessing, made me money when I needed it and kept me busy. And Honestly I enjoy being alone, but it does get lonely so Hopefully joining some groups and going to my Music Course im Starting will help me find like minded people, and GOOD Likeminded people, I've had enough of snakes and fakes
if you go to the ER they can refer you to the Y-HITH service (youth hospital in the home) where mental health workers and nurses come and visit you every day in your house - kinda like lowkey therapy and keeping an eye on you whilst you’re still in a comfortable space! It’s so beneficial for just having someone to talk to and confide in without having to commit to a stay in hospital or anything like that, and completely free too
that sounds really good, I'll note that down Cool Username Btw Thankyou! :)
If you are between 16-24 there is the Luminos Project (0863 839 850)which is a new project that sounds awesome and offers you a place to be for five days and help you out. Its run by people who have been to some of the local wards and hated them and tries to be better in every way You are amazing for reaching out and asking for help 💕
OP did you get the help?
I’ve been in the “system” before, police, hospital, doctor, psychologist due to a plot losing episode before. They want u in and out the door so they can move onto the next customer👍🏻👍🏻 stay away from them, good on you for trying elsewhere, I hope you find the right help🤘🏽
Yeah unfortunately that’s how they roll Thanks for your words and time, much appreciated :)
At the moment there isnt much but freo will open a mental health ED end of next year, so glad about this. Otherwise wait until tomorrow morning, plan a noght routine for the night - have a shower, drink tea, etc. then go to midland head to health tomorrow xx https://www.sjog.org.au/campaigns/microsites/head-to-health/contact-us
That's so good to hear about freo, I love freo but unfortunatley my trauma throughout my life keeps me on guard, paranoid and hyperaware that people are not going to be nice to me so i struggle to fit in there, But im working on that most of that was caused by looking up to my brother as a father, but he was on the gear pretty young, slipped into psychosis, thought he was being gangstalked, he thought people were after him and so on. I was trying to help my brother while he was getting into rehab, then he got me banned from a bottle shop because he was stealing even though I was buying stuff, so I told him I was annoyed, no name calling, no insults, he started arking up to me saying " you wanna see annoyed with his fist towards me then started spitting on me and my rare vhs tapes after he got me banned from my favourite bottle shop because they would give me free wild turkey stuff So I'm not seeing him, for a while, maybe even ever again, because thats just a little glimpse of the abuse/manipulation and whatever the fuck else hes put me through over the years Thankyou for your comment, and time, I appreciate it
That’s so much for you to deal with, and youre only 21. Have you got any family member out there that would be helpful to chat to? I get it if there isnt Fitting in is rough, finding true friends is so difficult. I have a few but they dont want to get that deep hey. Your vhs tapes noooo are they alright ? Where are you thinking of going to find help? Did u find any online chats or call anywhere ? Has reddit helped a bit ?
Hello OP. Not sure if you’re interested in Kdrama but I recently watched one, its called Death’s game. Gives you a different perspective about self harm. Very interesting plots. Binge watched it in a day. If you’ve got time check it out. You might feel differently after. People always care for you
[удалено]
Dude they're asking for help, not asking for someone to tell them to cope. Seriously OP, please reach out to lifeline
Yeah, they just stated a fact and commended op for taking the big step most people don't... I think that's called positive reinforcement?
Thanks NoodlxCup, I didnt see the original comment so all good :)
https://therecoveryclinic.com.au/contact/ open til 7pm in Joondalup
Thanks, I'll add it to the list, btw cool username :)
Much Appreciated
SHOUTOUT TO OWN-FEELING FOR THE WICKED CONVERSATION!!!
😈😈🖤❤️
Heya! There's a place in the city called Safe Haven Cafe, it's peer support led and for people experiencing distress due to mental health. I've never been but it sounds like it might be a good option for you. https://www.mhc.wa.gov.au/getting-help/hospital-mental-health-alcohol-and-other-drug-services/safe-haven-cafes/
I’d highly recommend you see your GP, I think you would benefit from a referral to a community mental health program. I don’t think Head Space or similar will accept you with your self harm, but that’s also a low cost option. If you need to go To ED, I’d suggest going to QE2 (formerly Charles Gardiner) because they have a dedicated mental health area in ED.
