After a three month hiatus, The Stress Sessions is back with Series Two!
If this is your first listen to my podcast, then 'welcome'! Thanks for tuning in; it means a lot. I'm Luke and I suffer with anxiety and depression, having been diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) about five or six years ago.
Since the last episode back in October, it hasn't been all plain sailing for me... in that little break, I've been busy recording lots of great podcasts for you to listen to, relate to and maybe even learn a thing or two in the process. Oh, and I've also moved house, changed jobs, have re-sought professional help about my own mental health, I think there might be a global pandemic going on... and, as I type this, am currently without internet access. To say that it's been challenging would be an understatement!
So, what fantastic guest do I have for you in week one? Well, he's a professional footballer, he's 21, contracted to Manchester City (currently on loan at Doncaster Rovers), has been capped by the Welsh national team numerous times, and suffers from mental ill-health.
I really enjoyed recording this episode because: 1) I LOVE football and 2) It was SO refreshing to chat to someone 10 years my minor in a high-profile position, playing in a predominantly masculine sport about his mental health.
So, without further avail, please welcome Matt Smith to The Stress Sessions podcast!
Oh, and if you enjoy the episode or any of the others, please share with friends, family, or anyone who you think they may help.
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!
------------------
On a side note, I'm not a professional in this field, nor do I claim to be. These podcasts are purely based on my own, personal experiences, and those of my guests, alongside some simple hints and tips along the way.
If you are suffering from a mental illness, there are lots of amazing charities that will be able to help you by offering professional advice. You'll be able to find these here.
Thank you
