Support

If, like Ali, you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or isolated, small activities such as getting exercise, enjoying some fresh air, and breaking down intimidating tasks into small steps can help. However, if these thoughts continue to hold you back from living the life you want to lead, it might be time to share how you feel with a friend, family member, community support group, or your GP.
