Mental health can be a tricky thing to balance, especially when you’re a foreigner living in the UK! I wanted to share all the ways I work on improving my mental health while living abroad – and I hope these habits can help you, too!

Some resources in the UK if you’re interested (although there’s tons more!):

Samaritans – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, open to talk about anything that is upsetting you. You can call 116 123 (free from any phone), email jo@samaritans.org or visit some branches in person. You can also call the Samaritans Welsh Language Line on 0808 164 0123 (7pm–11pm every day).

National Suicide Prevention Helpline UK – Offers a supportive listening service to anyone with thoughts of suicide. You can call on 0800 689 5652 (open 24/7).

Shout – If you would prefer not to talk but want some mental health support, you could text SHOUT to 85258

Mind is also a great online service for mental health support and resources.
