I’m not in immediate danger but need help and advice

Help for Men
I was too confused and embarrassed to tell my friends and family. Talking it through with someone was such a relief.
Just talking to someone about what I was going through helped me understand what support I needed.
With all the advice and support I’ve recieved I am starting to rebuild my life again.
I was so worried about my friend. On the helpline they talked through with me how I could support her.
