I think last week I was talking about my mental health from last year thinking that I got over it from the 24th of January feeling very very low anyone that watch my video on that date can clearly see and hear in my voice but I'm not happy. Mental health is and always will be a pain in the backside you could be a ray of sunshine and then the next day you could be waking up at 3 in the morning and crying your eyes out having no reason whatsoever.  |

Right now, more than ever, people are suffering with their mental health. Even people who have been previously robust have had moments, and I'm not afraid to include myself in that.
I recently had a few extremely dark moments. Thankfully, I was able to identify things triggering for me, and develop coping strategies around them. Coupled with engaging things that always help me, such as listening to music, driving, etc, I was able to find light in the darkness. And while the light may be dim at first, as you move closer to it, the brightness builds.
Sadly, right now NHS mental health services have wait times that are not fit for purpose. 18 month wait in a crisis situation? Reach out to your GP, your family, friends and sometimes even the comfort of strangers. It's all about what works for you OP.
That you've identified a problem is the single most important step in moving forward. Good luck on your journey. |

I tried to get a mental health appointment for my 21 year old daughter who had huge anxiety problems . I was told there was a 6 month waiting list.
In the end I managed to get a therapist privately.
She is taking some anti anxiety medication and talks to the therapist once a week .
That was two months ago. She is a lot better now |

Have a look in local areas for out of hours support through charities. Many NHS authorities are linking up with other organisations to provide support out of hours for those who are having trouble to cope focusing on ore crisis interventions...getting support from NHS is incredibly hard even for those that feel they are at their worst often don’t meet the criteria for support, which is massively detrimental to the individuals. |

There are some good initiatives running in South Wales through Mind and Hafal it maybe worth having a look. Silvercloud is also available too. |

I feel your pain. Im in the same boat. Very inconsistent and very "flaky" for want of a better expression. If at all possible fall back on your "process".... For me its activity, 2 or 3 small goals a day and be kind to yourself. Happy to try and help. |

The one thing to remember is that depression is rife at the moment and even if you have a really jolly support network at home you are very likely to suffer under it. Meds might help with the symptoms but the underlying causes are: a) we're all under house arrest at least part of the week; b) even if we wanted to go out there's nowhere to go; and c) most of us are now unfit. |

Small manageable steps works wonders ! A small walk a day will help boost your mood and get those good chemicals flowing  At the end of the day, no matter how small or insignificant it may be, write down something you've achieved for that day. It could be as small as getting dressed or even just brushing you're teeth.
Little things make a bigger difference than you think and you're never as alone as you feel
