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.
"SORROW" ( for Sarah )
One of my old college friends is in a lot of pain! Her calm and peaceful life is under cloud and heavy rain...
This week has brought much chaos as her husband's past away! Soulmate gone forever, she is lost for words today...
Their two son's share the trauma, as they've lost their loving dad. I offer my condolences, for this is terribly sad...
I myself have lost my father, feeling what they feel! No words of comfort I could say to help them slowly heal...
That old cliche that time will mend, all those broken hearts. Is not much of a helping hand, whilst world is torn apart...
Sorrow is a part of life and death we all must face. Exerience the good times with the bad, can leave a taste...
Regretting what you could have done or said to have them back! Is little comfort moving forwards, fate you cannot track...
You leave them with your heartfelt words and tell them how you feel. For they already know your love and will in time help heal...
