HELP & SUPPORT OVER THE FESTIVE PERIOD
I KNOW life isn’t always easy.
I know some days can feel like the worst kind of struggle. I know Christmas – which is supposed to be the most magical time of the year – can feel more hellish than heavenly.
I do. I get it.
But…I need you to know this. You are NOT alone.
It’s OK to not be OK, really it is but there is help out there, if you need it. Or just someone to chat to.
People who will listen, provide you with advice, practical support and much, much more.
So please don’t suffer alone. Please don’t feel life cannot get any better. Please don’t give up.
Call, get in touch, talk to someone. And if you’re looking for a place to start, here are some contacts which will help. (Kindly shared by Big Fashionista.)
You’re gonna be OK my friend. x
