They will be able to point you in the right direction for somebody in your area who can help - I spoke to a therapist for 15 mins from 'Rightsteps' and she helped loads, now I know where I need to be looking for help

Don't be afraid of the term 'Mental Health' - it covers hundreds of issues
Thank you Nick, I'll look into that!

Im sorry to hear things are shit for you mate, but there are some things you cant fix and some things you can, the best way i found was to write it all down, everything thats bothering you, then see which things you can realisticly fix, and focus on them. Always give yourself something to do so your not sat with your own thoughts, and try to keep giving yourself little 'ups' to keep your mood, Things like washing the car, or fixing something on it thats been bugging you for ages can help.

Unfortantely, things like your mum cant be fixed and are incredibly hard to address, after losing my grandad i flitted between anger, and just getting on with it, and to be honest i dont think there is much else you can do

I know im not the most popular of members on here, or well known in any sense, but if you do need any advice or just to talk it through, you can always pm me mate, as im sure many others on here would want you to too
Great words there mate and makes perfect sense!

It's just got to the point where I need the help now dude and then I can be myself again.

It doesn't matter about being a popular member... There's so many popular members on here that are actual cunts, but we won't go into that!

Cheers dude
