Looking down on everyone.
Thinking that you are above everything.
Wishing that you were, but knowing that you're really not.
Struggling to accept the difficulty, that is being you!
Wondering what's the point.
Realising there is none.
OMG, depression city.
,..,/^v^\,..,/^v^\,..,/^v^\,..,/^v^\,..,/^v^\,..,/^v^\,..,/^v^\,..,/^v^\,..
Let's talk about being human:
depression, anxiety, mental health
"It's okay to not be okay."
too many big words about mental health!

Who is therapy for?
Mental health support is for EVERYONE. This webpage is just a little reminder to people that if you are struggling, in any way, help is available. People who seek help aren't just one kind of crazy that you see in horror movies and they should be locked up... they are mostly normal crazy people - like you, if you just pressed all those stupid buttons.
There are all sorts of ways you can seek help, talk to a friend, listen to a podcast, talk to a trained professional - you could even try texting with an AI robot that will try to become your friend! Different methods work for different people and different issues.
There are so many kinds of mental health support. Art therapy, counselling, and existential psychotherapy are just a few of the approaches that might work for anyone. You can investigate what options are available following some of the links below.
- External links -
Here is a handful of actually useful clicks for your fingers, of organisations and individuals based in Saigon that offer mental health support.
- Touching Soul Center
- Psychub
- Sunny Care
- Centers, clinics and institutes provid a range of psychotherapy, art therapy and more traditional psycholigical services and are sometimes called 'service providers'. They can be a good place to start your psychotherapy journey and explore your options. Guys, these are NOT the 'psychiatric wards' that you see in movies. You are not going to be locked up when you tell them about your craziness or mental health problems.
- Janak Vadgama
- Counselling with Naomi
- Psycho-therapiea with Oded
- Different therapists use different training and methods to inform their practice. It's worth looking for someone who you think resonates with you and your life experience, and then when you're ready, send them a message.

- woebot
- replika
- We all can't get enough of our phones, so if you're reading this website on a phone, why not check out one of these apps and have some fun talking about yourself without getting judged for a little bit, and see what happens. Instead of posting a selfie on instasham and waiting for the likes to creep in, oh so slowly.
- InPsychOut
- You might have heard of these guys through Gãy's podcasts. Lots of interesting articles on their website too. Check them out.

You don't need to know the difference between psychoanalysis and psychiatry, or gestalt psychology and cognitive behavioural therapy - but exposure to these terms gives you an opportunity to go and do more research if you want to. The internet is a world of information, right at your fingertips... use your fingers wisely. Or if you're too lazy to open google and do a search, you can click me to find a thorough list of more resources made by volunteers at Gãy, go on I dare you!
