hi there and welcome to this forum unfortunately I don't know much about retirement and pensions but I would recommend that you reach out to someone about your mental health by calling Smaritons, texting Shout or phoning the Scope helpline they will be able to support you.
Shout text to 85258
call Samaritans on 116 123
Scope 0808 800 3333
I would also recommend that you visit our mental health thread for some moral support. As well as this I would recommend that you visit the coffee lounge for a general chat or the games den for some fun. -
Welcome from me too @bouncer and well said! I hope you enjoy being part of the community. Please shout if you need anything. 😊
