We often hear that school and work are among our greatest responsibilities in life. So, when we struggle to get through the day’s tasks, activities, or social and professional interactions, it’s easy to feel like we’ve failed. There are 1 helplins in Ards and North Down, Northern Ireland to reach out to for free support if you:

  • Have begun to ‘self-medicate’ with drugs or alcohol at or after school or work.
  • Don’t trust your peers, teachers or colleagues and feel victimised by their words and actions.
  • Struggle to follow lessons or tasks that those around you appear to find easy.
  • Avoid interacting or working on tasks by withdrawing, sleeping or hiding in the rest room.
  • Feel excessively tired, depressed, hopeless, withdrawn, or consider turning to drugs or alcohol.
  • Have difficulty following lessons or instructions, and feel unable to focus.
  • Have considered hurting yourself or others to end your daily troubles at work or school.
  • Try to absentee yourself from class work or school by faking certain symptoms or events.

Interacting with peers and colleagues can be challenging. You may have trouble expressing yourself, saying the right things, or fitting into groups, but you are not alone. Your challenges at school or work may also stem from pressure or heavy workloads, sensory impairment, learning disabilities, and more.

Everyone experiences school and work differently. However, when your experience starts getting in the way of your potential and your happiness, it might be time to ask for support. For free and confidential support with school and work, consider contacting a hotline in Ards and North Down, Northern Ireland today.
