Hello @shelljenner
Welcome to the community, good to see you join us but I'm sorry to hear you are struggling at the minute.
I hope the above comments have been helpful for you, can I ask are you receiving support from your GP to manage your mental health? Are they aware of how it is impacting you?Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.
