“I felt very isolated before I spoke to someone about my mental health. I had all these problems racing around my head and I felt like I was the only one who could deal with them. The hardest part about it is taking that first step, so be brave and speak to someone. It could be anyone.

"I’ve looked back at my own experiences and realised there were moments in conversations where I really wanted to open up but my fear kept me silent. I feel like they were missed opportunities to connect with someone. Your small act of making someone a cup of tea or texting a person to ask how they are could have a significant impact on someone’s day.”
