‘We all feel a bit out of our depth at times, but we don’t always say it’ ⁣ ⁣

We want to help our friends, but we don’t know how. We want to help ourselves, but we don’t know when. Reaching out for support with our mental health is tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. ⁣ ⁣‘Being thrown in at the deep end’ is the best way I can describe the transition from school to University. Loneliness, lack of self-esteem and a general feeling of ‘lost’ are often how students can find themselves feeling. 

⁣AWARE NI are a charity working tirelessly to bridge the gap between suffering in silence and receiving mental health support. ⁣ ⁣Marina and I have a very raw conversation about how, and when, to seek help, knowing the warning signs and the help AWARE offer 24/7 365. You are not alone, and you don’t have to be.
