Seeking help is the first step to managing when we are struggling to cope.
Make sure you get help from the right place, especially when getting information or help online or through social media.
Ask yourself:
1. Where is this information coming from?
2. Is the person giving me this advice qualified to do so?
Just because they are a celebrity or someone you admire doesn’t always mean they are the best person to be giving this advice. It is good to talk to someone you trust, at your workplace, place of worship or in your family. But that is the first step. The next is getting information and help from people who are trained in mental health care and support, like Health Care Professionals, or counsellors.
