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.
"FOLLOW" ( Fields of Dreams )
Advancing into unknown waters doubt begins to rise, deeper still the journey leads, ambition can't decide...
Those secrets waiting to be found, their value yet to see, dive a little deeper through the coldness, come with me...
Travel that bit further every time, the need is great, search the sandy seabed for some treasure whilst you wait...
Swimming with the fishes watching stingrays hover by, studying their movement ripples flowing from teary eyes...
Beauty is surrounding everything and everywhere, sometimes false assumptions block the light creating glare...
I'm leading from the front I'm getting stronger as I swim, follow me I'll do my best this stone is sure to skim...
Comfortable in skin and focus solely on my goals, joining with my brothers and my sisters in these shoals...
Tasks must be completed if we're going to find our way, gathering all our resources staying close now every day...
Hope to raise awareness reaching far across the sea, uniting different cultures hand in hand and breaking free...
Fighting back for sufferers whose voice had gone to sleep, uplifting and supportive wipe your tears no need to weep...
We will keep moving forward if we strive for better days, lessons learnt to educate no time for delays...
By F J Palmer.
