hi everyone, hope you’re feeling fine, not been around for awhile because I’m not feeling the best, struggling with keeping my head above water, going down fast.

It's lovely to have you back, although I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling. Is there any way that we can support you?
I know that contacting the Samaritans has already been suggested, have you had a chance to talk to them?
It would still be best if you could contact someone to get more help with what you're going through and how you're feeling. Are you able to contact your GP about this?
If you find telephone calls difficult, the Samaritans do have an email address that you can contact: [email protected]
Otherwise, you can call them for free on: 116 123 (UK)
Im sorry to hear you are still struggling, as Lasian says, the samaritans really can help by offering you an ear.
I understand how tough it must be to reach out, but you have taken an amazing step by talking to us about your mental health. If you find the written word easier, you can email them on the address @Lasian_Scope suggests above.
You are an important member of our community and we care.

Understand it is hard and difficult talking. Tell the truth talking is hard especially counselling or any therapy.
Believe me am been there and still am. As gentleman talking to a young girl of a certain age. Young enough to be my granddaughter has nothing but words to me.
Understand can not relate to me or she to my life . Has no knowledge no life skills. Got a degree what does that prove.
Personally had so much but now realise how and when can I ask for support.
Do I need to tell some one how am I today, how can I say what the problems are if I do not and can not cope.
Then I need to share not here on the community but private to your support who ever that is.
Please can I ask do you have support. Talking to a GP is never easy. Understand that, so had an advocate to help me get what I want.
Nothing wrong asking for mental support services. Does not have to be council. Always try use charities, that was a solution for me.
Although I had problems explain and talking .
Try to see if your GP can advise you and speak to some one who can support you
