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 116 123 and you can discuss anything and call anytime. Please use it if you're in crisis.

Check out giveusashout.org

They offer a free text service giving support 24/7

Sometimes it’s easier to message and not even speak the words out loud to someone - feels less personal.

That’s a really good point.

Samaritans also provide text only support and actually have walk-in centres too for those that can get to and want human 1:1 interaction.

See your GP. In the meantime have early nights, wake early. Get out the house and eat light meals.

Talk to people and let any anger slowly seep out and don't be afraid to cry.

Talk to people, tell someone how you really feel, try and work out what’s causing it

Check out Andy’s man club.

There’s plenty of venues up and down the country where support is available.
