Hello. I'm a professional jobsearch coach and might be able to help you. I wouldn't charge anything. No guarantees of success like, but I've helped a lot of people over the years. All jobs have some pressures but if it's keeping you awake at night, something needs to change. DM me if you'd like to talk.

Never been to Melbourne but I hope the Covid situation improves there and that you find your freedom soon.
Genuinely not sure about the therapist part. Today is a...weird day. Some issues but mostly bearable. This whole thing really annoys me. Got a meeting tomorrow with one in theory but let's see how it goes. I've called and emailed about 20 others, that was fun. I have a meeting with the psychiatrist who I was assigned when in the hospital but we're talking almost a full month later at this point which is BS.

Oh man, I'm really sorry you have every right to be angry this situation is total BS and it shouldn't be like this when someone is trying to take care of their mental health. In a way know what you are going through when it comes to your search. Last year my daughter was having some behavioral issues and I thought she could get some professional help but due to our insurance the more holistic type of therapists that I found for her wouldn't be covered and some of the ones that were covered by insurance had a waiting lists. I made so many calls and sent emails, I almost gave up but after two months I finally found the right match for her so don't be deterred and keep searching, you will find the right person it just may take a bit longer. Until then know that we are here for you as your family is there for you ?
Thanks for the kind offer. I'll definitely consider your help should I chose to go in a different direction with work.
Great post this, love it.
May I enquire how you earn your crust buddy. Is it just the job keeping you up?

I just need somewhere to vent a bit as I don't have anyone else to really unload stuff onto.
My long term relationship has fell apart in front of me, my whole world is just crumbling. I haven't been able to eat a thing all week, I'm literally surviving off fizzy drinks at the moment. I can't sleep for more than 20 minutes and I spend all day in tears.
I've been on Sertroline for a couple of weeks now but it's not having any impact. My mood is still on the floor.
I've told work that I am struggling to complete my tasks because I just cannot concentrate and so I've had to jiggle stuff around to get easier stuff to focus on which is embarrassing for me.
I'm at a complete loss and I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi mate,
Do you have anyone outside of your relationship, that you`re close to and who you can off load on ? ( I know that`s can be very hard for fellas )
I know from my own experiences, that bottling it up and trying to " handle " things by myself, just made things worse in the end.
A very good friend of mine, went through an horrendous break up of his relationship and in those few paragraphs, you almost describe perfectly, the way he ended up, as his relationship crumbled.
As well as supporting him and offering him a bolt hole for a few days ( he had no kids then ) I persuaded him to see a therapist, independent of his partner.
The therapist, who specialised in breakups, helped him understand what he was going through and how it wasn`t his fault - his partner was incredibly controlling and had in effect slowly taken his life outside of her away from him.
To get immediate access to the therapist, he had to pay, but the sessions he had with her, helped get him back on his feet again massively - he`s since re married and has a son and is happier than he`s ever been.
I know paying for a therapist, isn`t something that`s an option for a lot of people, but it sounds to me, like you desperately need some kind of support.
With regards to anti depressants, they can take up to 3 weeks to work, so give them a bit a more time.
If you`re still not feeling the benefit of them by then, I`d go back to your GP and ask about either tweaking them or changing them, as they`re not an exact science and getting them right can be a bit hit and miss.
Keep posting mate, there`s always someone here x
So sorry to hear this. Have you thought about asking for an Occupational Health referral through your work. They should be able to help and put forward suggestions to help you in work. You might also be able to access counselling through them. It's worth doing, work would rather have you on work than off sick so suggest it - or get your line manager to. I know there is a perception that Occupational Health is a negative experience and on the road to being sacked but I've always found them to be helpful.
