Advice
Recognise the signs and indicators when feeling isolated & alone.
Your closest family/friends may notice changes in your body language, distant approach, lack of drive/motivation. Unable to hold eye contact. Not wanting to go out and meet up, cancelling appointments......
The most difficult moment we face when feeling anxious/depressed is the urge and instinct to pull away from those we love!
The hardest step and yet most rewarding is to accept you cannot do this by yourself. It takes great courage & strength to ask for HELP!
Pick up that phone and start your recovery by contacting your local GP, your local crisis team &/or Mental Health Service Advisor.

POEM OF THE MONTH
Each month I will showcase one of my poems. The aim is to reach out to all those suffering in silence. You are not alone.
TYPE ( Brothers in Arms)
In my time of dying old ambitions wave at me. Left to wander aimlessly as not much left to see...
Best years have gone by when mind and body were in sync! More often luck not judgement - chose to roll the dice not think...
Now I'm left to rue those moments facing my regrets! Sitting behind closed doors only movement mounting debts...
Paid the price of failing in my quest to defeat fear. Courage under fire chose to run and steer clear...
Chance will come again I'd say there'll always be tomorrow! Retreat to safer place until my fate won't need to borrow...
Bravery and strength to face those challenges in life! Truth is these old habits have a tendency to bite..!
Inclined to play it safe once more the pressure too intense! Character in question if success sits on the fence...
What type of personality waits for change to come to them? Lacking drive and vigour watching other's hoped ascend...
Cowardly approach if being honest to a fault! I have to face the truth at some point soon this journey halts!
Ideas to improve oneself are great if followed through. Self-destructive chaos looms if failures voice stays true!
Actions follow words: you must have both to stand a chance. Time is running out I'll soon be facing my last dance!
