If you are consulting a Medium like myself, it is possible that you may be suffering from the loss of someone or something close to you, you may also be going through a period of stress or mental health and bereavement anguish. No matter what age we are, we all sometimes need a little help.
We may not even recognise the symptoms ourselves, it may take others to kindly lead us in the direction of recovery.
I have put together a list of helpful resources that can just help you to take that first step to finding the help that you or another may need.
