Worried about your mental health during the Pandemic?
Many of us have faced difficult personal, financial or physical challenges during the pandemic, and it's natural that this can have an impact on our mental health.
You could be feeling uncertain about what you should or shouldn’t be doing, or worried about what's going on in the world. It might seem like a lot is happening outside of our control, and this can feel overwhelming. It’s natural that these changes can affect our mental health and wellbeing.
This winter, it’s important to be kind to yourself and take things at your own pace. If you’re finding things tough, try to talk about how you are feeling with others. You’re not alone. At Samaritans, we’re committed to helping you if you’re struggling to cope, however we can.
Samaritans is a critical service, needed now more than ever. Our volunteers are always here to listen and won’t judge or tell you what to do. While it may take us longer to answer the phone or respond to emails, we're still here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
