Sometimes the most helpful thing is a room full of people who understand. Louth has several free groups where you can talk, listen, or simply sit with a cup of tea until you feel ready.
Most of these are peer support: people with their own experience of hard times supporting each other. They're not therapy, and nobody will assess or diagnose you. If you're looking for counselling or treatment, see Professional help.
