Up until a few years ago I very much lived by "man up and crack on".  As I found out this 100% is not the attitude to have.

Mental Health is something that can and likely does affect us all, and if I had one bit of advice I could give someone to would be to address it.

Two fantastic charities that have either helped me or someone close to me;

Stockport & District Mind - A local Mental Health charity (stockportmind.org.uk)

&

Stockport Healthy Minds :: Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust

We work towards a society where anyone who experiences mental distress is supported in their recovery, empowered to reach their full potential, and they and their family/Carers are free from stigma and discrimination. We receive no core funding from the national organisation and are very reliant on donations and fundraising to continue serving Stockport with mental health support services.
