When you feel the darkness descending
And your brain is running wild
Life becomes a hazy mist
And your troubles seem highly piled;
Breathe deeply, relax and close your eyes
Its not as bad as it first seems
Turn on the spot and change your view
Sometimes you just need a different scene.
For those of us who have had hard times
When it seems, there is no way out
Take solitude in knowing that
With strength you can change your doubts.
Breathe deeply, relax and close your eyes
There is a friend deep inside who will guide
Listen hard and trust your inner voice
Hold your head up high and don’t hide.

Mental Health is an incredibly important topic that is still a little bit of a taboo in the UK, leaving people often feeling more alone and lost than they ideally should do. Awareness of mental health issues are crucial to so many; and the more we talk about worries, concerns or issues, then more appreciative of their own mental health people will be, and supportive of others they will become.
It is nothing to be ashamed of and takes a strong character to stand up and ask for help - but be brave - it is always better to talk.
