I need help and for someone to listen to my problems. I suffer with severe depression and stress and have learning difficulties.

hello

Welcome. I am very glad that you have shared how you are feeling. Is there anyone you can talk to about this? Any family or friends?

If you want to talk to someone you can call the Samaritans at anytime by calling 116 123. There will be someone there to support you and talk about how you are feeling.

You should also see your GP so they can help. Are you in touch with them already?

If you want to find out about getting more support Mencap's helpline is open from 9 to 3pm, Monday to Friday on 0808 808 1111. It is free and confidential and the trained advisors can offer you advice and information about learning disability and help you find the right support and services in your area.

Hi Ashely, I suffer from Depression/Anxiety and Stress too and take anti depressants for it but, life is not easy for me too.

One way of coping for me is Dieting and Exercising. Have you tried that?

You can tell me your problems and maybe I can offer some advice.

Take care, bye now

Cheers

Danx
