Mental Health Masterpost
I have seen on tumblr a very extensive masterpost including all the information, helplines and coping tips imaginable, and I thought I'd make it more accessible for you guys so I've compiled a list of the ones I think are SUPER helpful, I've got rid of some that weren't professional/reliable/working links and I've added a few of my own which I thought were missing.
They're divided into information and help, and I've started with a list of websites for family and friends of sufferers so PLEASE don't think this isn't relevant to you. If you want to see the original tumblr post, the link is here.

If I need to add anything else, or if a link isn't working, just let me know and I'll fix it ASAP. I really hope there's at least something here that everyone will find helpful, and remember, if you think you're suffering from a mental illness TALK TO SOMEONE. Don't self diagnose, get to a doctor, they're there to help! Much love x
