TW: this content discusses suicidal feelings. "Nothing could have prepared me for January. I don’t remember seeing the sun once or interacting with another human or feeling anything. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety from a young age, but it is something I have coping mechanisms for. I can feel when an attack is coming and I know how to handle myself, but this just felt numb. I didn’t even care enough to panic or shake anymore - I was just an empty vessel dragging through endless days. “ I decided my purpose for existing had gone and I was just taking up meaningless space. I planned to end things. I remember this so vividly - my body kicked into fight or flight and I started panicking; I felt something again. I rang up a crisis hotline and then Mind who talked me down, I immediately regretted everything." Dancer Kelly blogs about how Mind came to her rescue when she had given up.

Starting a new school year can feel overwhelming. It can also be a knock to our confidence and self-esteem. If you're struggling today, here are some things you can do to improve the way you feel about yourself ➡ Which of these do you need to do more often?

Do you want to tell your employer about a mental health problem, but you're worried about how it could go down? Scroll through for some advice about how to do it.

So many of us are finding things difficult at the moment because of the cost of living crisis. As we know money struggles impact on mental health and mental health problems make it more likely that you’ll struggle for money. If you need support with money, mental health, or both, visit our money and mental health pages in the link in our bio.

If you didn't get the GCSE results you wanted today, that can be tough. But results aren't everything. And there's so much more to you than those letters on a page. Make sure you remind yourself of all the great things that make you you. On some days it can be hard to find things we like about ourselves - we all feel that way from time to time. If you're struggling, why not try asking a friend or someone you love to tell you something they like about you, or a reason they're proud of you? #gcse #gcseresults #resultsday

Are you scrolling endlessly? Pause. We spend a lot of time on social media and it’s important to be mindful of the impact it can have on our mental health. If you find yourself getting triggered by social media content, comparing yourself to what you see online, feeling anxious or low, then it might be time to unfollow. If you find you're having fewer conversations with your friends and family, aren't able to get things done in your offline life, or you’re feeling disconnected from those closest to you – it might be time for a social media break. #MentalHealth #Mindfulness #SocialMediaDetox #DigitalDetox
