Many people experience problems with their wellbeing at some point in their lives. Things like losing a job, an accident, the loss of a loved one, a traumatic incident or even just moving house can lead to feelings that can be hard to cope with. Sometimes, there may be no event that has triggered how you are feeling – this is common too.
Problems like mild depression, worry, anxiety, stress, panic, isolation and loss of sleep make it difficult for us to cope with life’s daily demands. 1 in 4 of us will feel like this, but you do not need to try and cope on your own.
