"Link in with GP and local services and get qualified clinical advice and support, have a buddy (friend or family) and tell them how you're really feeling, lots of fresh air outside, find your particular coping strategies and be conscious of particular triggers for you -- everybody is different -- check out resources on Mind website, be gentle with yourself and be conscious that feelings are just that, not actuality but your current response to your circumstances and can change, talk to people and if you can't talk..be with people, eat well, sleep well, exercise like walking, mindfulness, talking therapies, find your useful "things", but above all else know you are not alone. You really aren't. And being honest about how down you are with others is liberating for them and you. Be buoyed in the knowledge there is support, others will relate and you are very much worthwhile. Hugs.
The Blurt Foundation have some excellent advice, CALM (campaign against living miserably) is good on men’s experiences, and Mind has its Elefriends forum.
Samaritans have a helpline - open 24/7 and free to call and you can discuss anything and call anytime. Please use it if you're in crisis. "
That’s one thing I’ve noticed for a while now , eating and sleeping have gone out the window, and the worst thing is , it’s got to the point it doesn’t affect me now unfortunately |
