Having had issues in my past with Mental Health, I'd thought I'd do a quick post / thread so that people can use the numbers below if you are ever feeling like they are upset or don't know who to speak to. We are all here and my inbox is personally open to anyone who feels this way. Please see the number below if you'd prefer to talk to a professional who'll understand exactly how you feel and will have dealt with lots of other people who have similar issues.
