If you’re feeling anxious, stressed, low, having problems sleeping, or dealing with grief or loneliness – you aren’t alone. The start of a new year can bring hope for some but it can also bring on other less positive feelings.
Perhaps you are feeling anxious or overwhelmed, both of which can affect your daily life and mental wellbeing. Or it could be that family life feels overwhelming? Maybe you spent too much at Christmas and money worries are preventing you from sleeping. You could also be lonely or even struggling with grief at the loss of a loved one. Grief is a deeply personal journey, but support is available to help you through difficult times.
If you need support and guidance on any of these matters, it may help you to visit the Mind to Mind website at nhsinform.scot/mindtomind for support and advice that could make a positive difference.
