Has anyone got any good techniques to cope with deteriorating mental health?
Hello,
Sorry to hear that you are currently struggling. The main thing you can do, which I completely understand isn't always the easiest or most favourable option, is to talk to someone. If you feel like for interim support you would benefit from sharing your difficulties anonymously I would highly recommend the app TellMi.
Other than that, take care of yourself. Make sure you are getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising and doing things which you enjoy. This may not solve all your problems right away but it will be a step in the right direction and help make things a bit more manageable for you.
I hope this answers your question, if you have any further questions or need further support please do let us know.
