Share your experience
Have you experienced mental health difficulties, supported someone, or both? Share what helped, what made things harder, or what you wish others understood.
We’re gathering the first contributions to help friends and family supporting an adult. There are no published experiences to read here yet.
A few sentences are enough. You must be 18 or over to contribute.
With your permission, we may publish an edited, anonymous version after review. A short quote may also appear in a relevant guide.
Looking for guidance? Browse the guides or find support for yourself.
What we publish
We read every contribution before publication and edit it to protect people’s privacy. We welcome experiences of what helped, what was difficult and what you wish others understood.
We do not publish descriptions of how someone was harmed or tried to die, medication doses or advice about treatment. Contributions are personal experiences, not medical guidance.
