Hello everyone. We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources for those who may find them helpful.

We also wanted to share Mind's information - it has practical tips on what you can do when you feel like this and where to get urgent help. https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/self-harm/helping-yourself-now

You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected].

We are going to move the thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
