Mental Health Awareness week

We are supporting Mental Health awareness week this year. It's focus is anxiety, and we think that this is an issue that affects single parents more than most. Between CSA, benefits and the stress of how to deal with relationship breakdown, not to mention dealing with the fall-out with the children, there is always so much up in the air that it's difficult not to start feeling that it's all just too much. We have got some advice on dealing with stress here, but we are looking forward to your suggestions on how to deal with mental health issues more effectively when you are on your own. 

How have you been affected by anxiety, and how did you manage to deal with it? We would really like to hear your stories here, especially if you have any advice you can share with other parents!
