It’s OK Not to Be OK This Christmas

It might be known as ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ but, if you’re struggling with difficult thoughts or feelings this festive season, please know that you’re not alone.

As the nights draw in, around half of the UK population struggles with their mental health, so it’s important to remember that it’s ok not to be ok – and that help and support is always available.

At this time of year, it’s more important than ever to look out for those close to us – and to look after ourselves, too.

If you are feeling suicidal or lower than normal, or you just need someone to talk to, remember we are here for you throughout the festive period.

And if you have a concern about anyone you know, let them know you’re thinking about them. Start a conversation and remind them that Mikeysline is here every night to listen, too.

Over the Christmas period, we’ll be providing non-judgemental support though our text-based messaging services, telephone call-backs and in-person sessions in Inverness.
