Mental health can be a tricky thing to balance, especially when you're a foreigner living in the UK! I wanted to share all the ways I work on improving my mental health while living abroad - and I hope these habits can help you, too! Being an expat is an incredible experience, but that doesn't mean it won't impact your mental health - make sure to look after yourself!

Some resources in the UK if you're interested (although there's tons more!):

Samaritans - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, open to talk about anything that is upsetting you. You can call 116 123 (free from any phone), email jo@samaritans.org or visit some branches in person. You can also call the Samaritans Welsh Language Line on 0808 164 0123 (7pm–11pm every day).

National Suicide Prevention Helpline UK - Offers a supportive listening service to anyone with thoughts of suicide. You can call on 0800 689 5652 (open 24/7).

Shout - If you would prefer not to talk but want some mental health support, you could text SHOUT to 85258

Mind is also a great service for mental health support and resources: https://www.mind.org.uk/need-urgent-help/using-this-tool/

Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.

I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a Youtube video every Tuesday & Friday plus an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.
