There is no right timeline for recovery as we are each so unique, and during this time, it is so important to put yourself first and look after yourself. There is help available. It’s always worth revisiting your GP as they will be able to discuss all your treatment options with you.

We are more than happy to talk with you on the email or telephone you and answer any questions you may have or simply listen about your experience. Our helpline is 020 7733 2653.
In a moment of crisis, A&E could be the best place to go or there are 24 hour helplines like the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90.
