  • Hello Tizzy56 and thanks for posting

    I'm sorry about what you are going through right now. This must be a very tough time for you and having to deal with multiple health conditions must feel overwhelming.

    I think many people can sometimes feel on the edge of what they are able to cope with. Some find hidden strength they never knew they had, but many need to lean on other people and get some help. I would advise you to get some help for yourself, maybe speak to family or trusted friends, and talk to your GP about how low you are feeling right now. Sharing and talking over feelings can help us to cope with them and the GP can tell you what sort of support is available for you to access. To help you find some coping strategies to manage these thoughts and feelings. They can refer you for counselling or another type of talking therapy such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy ( CBT)

    I hope this is of some help. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Celene
