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.

Days turn into weeks and now a year has elapsed. I'm still sat in the corner being cautious with a mask...
Careful not to rock the boat and undermine my goal. Hoping I'm not crazy as my demons couldn't hold...
Opinions of a lesser light they stored aside for me. Tangled in a web of sins in hope I'd not break free...

I know it's getting wet, but I knew this from the start, To breathe in new surroundings find the answers in my heart...
