When you need help (for example for mental health or other concerns), where do you turn to? One helpful place is the therapists, but where else can you go/who to turn to other than just that (i. e. mental health centres if that exists? Or what?)
Do you think that just the therapists are enough? |

Do you have a support system of friends or family? Other than that there are support groups in person, online support groups and counselors. I don’t know what else there is unless you would need inpatient care.

You could try calling or texting a listening line staffed by trained volunteers, such as Caring Contact - We're Here To Listen
You could also try the 7Cups online volunteer listening service. It’s searchable. 🙂 |

Also depending on your severity of needing therapy try a self help book or YouTube videos about mental health, and both of these may help if you are on a long waiting list to see a therapist (as sometimes is the case). Reading books about depression and YouTube videos have helped me when depressed. In the past I did see counselors and it was helpful and very necessary especially when very depressed and/or anxious.

There is a texting based support I think it's 741741, I have seen it advertised. There is also Samaritans you can email everybody uses the name Joe, they are based out of Europe Google them I know they will email support and talk things over regardless of where you live .
Most areas have crisis lines and many have "warm lines" if your not having a crisis the warm lines are all staffed by trained volunteers who are recovering from MI ,do a search in your local area . And by all means bend one of our ears if you need to reach out and be heard . |

I have been posting here in between. Other times I'll just turn to articles and reading, or family/ friends.

This is great information about the resources out there for people in need. I would be interested in even volunteering for some of these when I get myself a little bit better situated. There is a lot of therapy in giving and helping others.
