My support worker said that to rid himself of the pain of repetitive sin is to look at yourself in the mirror.

Hi @TheVorticon
Great to hear you tried to call the SANE Help Centre. Its a very normal experience to dial the number and hang up before or after someone answers. The counsellors say that a lot of people who call reflect the same feeling and sometimes try multiple times before they feel comfortable and ready to speak to a counsellor for the first time.
A handy little tip to ease into the process can be to have some dot points written out for yourself before you call or talk about your interests and things you enjoy. I'd also suggest jumping onto the Help Center Web Chat option first if calling seems a bit daunting at first. The web chat option will allow you to speak to the same counsellors and get a feel for what it is like before you call. You may even want to have a few web chats before you make your first call.
Whatever works best for you. In my biased opinion though, they really are a lovely bunch in the Help Centre
Take care,
Radius

I hate cancer ... the silent unseen killer within!
On top of MI, its just one more battle I need to confront.
One day I want to fight the bastard with everything I've got.
Then it all becomes too much ... and I feel like giving up.
Why even bother?

Feeling really upset after my mum's latest comment about my weight.
I could handle the "ten tonne Tess" comment. But asking to make sure I wasn't planning on wearing a light colour tomorrow because it shows the how fat I am, while I was currently wearing a light coloured shirt, is a step too ****ing far. Great job. Good luck getting that out of your head without beating it out of there, Vorticon.
