If you're afraid to ask for help, these self-help sites may suit you best

I have recently had a bad episode of depression. On initially being assessed by my GP, he recommended the two websites below as possible ways of helping me. They are both fantastic online resources for people experiencing mental health issues, and are completely free. Both focus on the CBT approach, which I think is highly affective as it did a lot for me. However, it does not suit everyone and even for me, this time around, it was not the best form of help. Even so, I managed to get something out of these websites and are definitely worth exploring.

The first is called moodjuice - http://www.moodjuice.scot.nhs.uk/
The second is called Living life to the full - http://www.llttf.com/ - there is no catch is signing up, it is completely free. They simply ask for a bit of information about you so that they can recommend what may be most effective in helping you
