Are you feeling lonely or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to adjust, to cope or make sense of things? Are you feeling low, anxious, angry or scared? Are you trying to come to terms with loss, of a loved one, of the way things should have been for you or someone else? Have past difficulties resurfaced?
It’s ok not to feel ok.
