Too Many Tabs Open - Why We Need To Talk Before It Mounts Up

Too Many Tabs Open - Why We Need To Talk Before It Mounts Up

**TRIGGER WARNING** this episode discusses grief, loss, mental ill health and themes of anxiety - Listener discretion advised.


This episode kinda follows on from my previous two, where things got a bit much for me last week and how I should have spoken up about my feelings before it got to this stage.

I neglected to take my own advice, and ended up breaking down again, unable to contain all the feelings and anxieties I had been experiencing, in addition to attending my friend' funeral, which was very hard.

As always I discuss the importance of seeking out support, whether it be peer or professional and how talking can decompress some of that pressure that mounts up which can leave us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

Keep talking, keep listening. Look out for your friends and loved ones, but also don't neglect your wellbeing.

Lots of love
