How to Get Active in Your Own Rescue — The Mental Health Steps That Actually Helped Me Rebuild

In January 2025 I was a broken woman — frozen in fear, separated from my son three days a week for the first time, experiencing suicidal ideation and not knowing how to help myself. In this episode I share exactly what I did to start climbing out. From my first call to a mental health nurse, to group therapy, counselling, a psychologist and an occupational therapist — this is the honest step by step of how I got active in my own rescue. Including the worry tree tool my psychologist gave me, the activity audit that changed how I use my time, and why waiting for someone else to save you is time you'll never get back.5 day devotion to self-love - workbook:https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkGuided chakra meditation:https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-aligning-150650632?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkJoin my Patreon: https://patreon.com/SoulandScissors?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_l Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissorsShop: https://www.fresha.com/store/beauty-by-charlene-store-bxua8lgq?pId=2604457 Download my free 2026 reading list & workbook (Bookstack Diaries): https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5Download the tools given to me by my psychologist: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1s7r4LF24gemi0ufnUrDPxvBqfDTspfDb?usp=sharingNHS Lothian Wellbeing community hubs: https://policyonline.nhslothian.scot/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/West_Lothian_Community_Wellbeing_Hubs.pdfBook recommendation: Atomic Habits, James Clear#mentalhealth #healingjourney #selfhelp #personaldevelopment #anxiety #depression #singlemum #counselling#womenempowerment #gettingbetter
