7. Where might you go for support if you were suffering from an illness?

(Can be professional or unprofessional!)

[j95]

@lanejane i'd make it but i also dont want 100,000 email notifications, lets be honest...

[j95]

"119.Scan your bum then print loads of copies and give them to all your mates or post them thru people’s doors" hahaha, wot...

[OrangeOliver]

I'd probably talk to my cat, my sister, or a professional (in that order!). Just my personal preferences. I think it is important to have someone to talk to.

(Can be professional or unprofessional!)

counsellor and psychologists as well as sites like Reach Out forums and Beyond Blue forums

[j95]

and my dog

[lanejane]

Beyond Blue is a really good suggestion. That's a great place for depression in particular.

@OrangeOliver & @j95i'd probably talk to my pets too haha. they cant tell me to shut up

[j95]

I know I am a part of a few support groups on Facebook that are really helpful if you are having a bad day. They are specific to my mental illness so they understand.
