Do you dread the thought of going to school or work? Contact a free hotline in Wales for support.

Persistent problems at school or work may leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, singled out or left behind. What’s worse, such challenges can be impossible to avoid, with daily exposure impacting your mental health and wellbeing. There are 2 hotlines in Wales where you can ask for help if you:

• Constantly feel tired, withdrawn and depressed, wishing you could be anywhere but at work or school.
• Experience intense shyness, anxiety and low self-esteem when interacting on tasks with others.
• Have difficulty following lessons or instructions, and feel unable to focus.
• Constantly feel tired, lazy, sad or depressed, wishing you weren’t at work or school.
• Have powerful feelings of anger, defiance, frustration, rebellion and the sense that this is unfair.
• Often absentee yourself for headaches, flu, injuries and stomach bugs that you don’t really have.
• Find certain tasks or skills difficult or impossible to master, when others find them easy.
• Have intense school or work related anxiety, stress, fear or worry.

Difficulties at school or work can have a domino effect. Specific issues such as pressure from teachers or managers, undiagnosed learning disabilities, poor vision or hearing, bullying and social anxiety can end up impacting every aspect of your daily experience at school or work – but you are not alone.

When negative feelings about school or work start impacting your ability to thrive, it might be time to speak to someone. You have the potential to find your voice and succeed, but sometimes you can only do this with support and understanding. Consider contacting a helpline in Wales for free, confidential help.
