Hi @stitchy27,

I’m so sorry to hear about your nan and that your mental health isn’t great. I just wanted to reply to your post with some places that you can get support. The community is here for you, but sometimes talking on the phone or in person can be helpful, too.

There is lots of other support out there, and I would really encourage you to reach out and speak to someone about how you are feeling.

  • If you feel like your mental health is reaching a crisis point, you can call 111 and choose the mental health option to speak to a trained mental health professional (England, Scotland and Wales only)

  • Samaritans are available 24/7 to talk about anything that you are worried about in confidence. You can call them on 116 123.

  • Shout are contactable by text, 24/7. You can text SHOUT to 85258 and talk to them about anything.

  • You can find your local NHS urgent mental health helpline here.

You can also make an appointment with your GP and ask to be referred to counselling or other support services in your area.

Please do keep reaching out - you are not alone.

Take care,
Seaneen
