Online Mental Health Chat with My Black Dog
We are volunteers. We understand that coping with mental health is HARD, and not knowing who to talk to can make it feel a hundred times worse. You might be worried about what people will think of you, you might feel ashamed, you might feel that they won't understand. We do. Every single person that is a part of My Black Dog, from the volunteers to the ambassadors has felt this way before. We get it.

My Black Dog is not a crisis point or a suicide line. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, please contact the Samaritans by calling 116 123.

This site is for adults. If you are under 18 years of age, please visit Childline

We are an online mental health charity. We are not doctors or therapists, not counsellors or psychiatrists, we are mental health volunteers who understand; people who have ALL experienced mental health issues.
