00:00:15,790 --> 00:00:18,390
Hello lesbians. 
I want to start off today a 

2
00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:24,030
little bit differently. 
It's Freya speaking, and I feel 

3
00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:28,310
like everyone wants to talk 
about this one thing that has 

4
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:32,750
obviously happened within the 
USI think it's pretty clear 

5
00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:36,960
where we stand. 
We do not support Trump and we 

6
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,360
were obviously rooting for 
Kamala Harris to be the next 

7
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,480
president. 
I think now what's happened is 

8
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,160
this really horrendous man has 
managed to get into power, 

9
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:54,680
someone who you probably 
wouldn't trust to hold your 

10
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,560
drink for you. 
I mean, I know that I certainly 

11
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,240
would not be trusting him to 
hold my drink. 

12
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,720
A man who has been convicted of 
multiple sexual assaults, fraud,

13
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,560
felonies, you name it. 
I mean, all hopes that can't 

14
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,360
just go straight into jail. 
Do you know what I mean? 

15
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,240
And just stays there. 
But regardless of whether he's 

16
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,600
gotten in or not, I and I know 
that Scarlett feels the same. 

17
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,280
We want you to know that we as 
the Lesbian Supper Club, we are 

18
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,560
here for you. 
If you are in the States right 

19
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,680
now and this was against your 
decision and you're feeling it 

20
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,600
very, very hard like the rest of
a lot of LGBTQ plus individuals 

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,800
and also not to mention women, 
then fucking hell on this 

22
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,680
podcast. 
And we will be as gay as 

23
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:46,000
possible for you and try and 
shed some light on this 

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,240
horrendous man getting into 
power. 

25
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240
And as much as people like to 
say it's just because you hate 

26
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,200
Trump, it's based on facts. 
It's an opinion based on facts. 

27
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,040
I'm not making up facts. 
You cannot possibly do that. 

28
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,960
I as Auk citizen, I believe that
I actually do have more 

29
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,320
knowledge on the bills that he 
is looking to pass and the laws 

30
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,600
he is looking to pass and 
already has passed that is 

31
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,920
against the LGBTQ plus community
and also women. 

32
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,920
And that's the best case 
scenario. 

33
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,120
The worst case scenario is I 
know exactly the same if not 

34
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,520
less and they still voted him 
into power. 

35
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:29,360
It is absolutely 
incomprehensible and I feel for 

36
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,520
all of you who just didn't want 
this asshole to dictate your 

37
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,560
bodies, your lives, your 
freedom. 

38
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,200
And when people say to me and 
Scarlett, they say this is a 

39
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,640
lesbian supper club page. 
Why are you getting political? 

40
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:46,200
This is on Instagram. 
I don't know how else I can say 

41
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,080
this to you. 
Being a lesbian, being a woman, 

42
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,720
being anything under the LGBTQ 
plus umbrella. 

43
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,720
We unfortunately are heavily 
impacted by politics. 

44
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,120
Heavily. 
Not only that, it is also there 

45
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,520
to build laws that restrict our 
freedom because we are gay, 

46
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,440
because we are a woman. 
So you want to ask me why I'm 

47
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,680
political on a lesbian podcast 
or a lesbian page? 

48
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,840
That is why. 
Because the whole purpose of our

49
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,040
podcast is for equality. 
It's for representation. 

50
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,920
You want to I, I just, it 
baffles me. 

51
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,000
It baffles me. 
But sometimes you just cannot 

52
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,160
argue with thick. 
You cannot, like it is 

53
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,520
impossible to argue with Dick, 
but I think just like in this 

54
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,480
time now, you can't change what 
has happened. 

55
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,040
You just can't. 
OK, let's let's just OK, park 

56
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,480
that to the side we go. 
How are we going to ensure I, 

57
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,440
like myself and my friends and 
my family, are safe, happy, 

58
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,120
secure? 
And I think that by sticking 

59
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,960
together tighter than ever 
within the LGBTQ plus community 

60
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280
or the allies and the women that
are all on the same page, that 

61
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,240
is the most unbreakable thing 
that you can do. 

62
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,360
Because as soon as you will 
start pointing fingers at one 

63
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,120
another, it's just going to get 
so much worse. 

64
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,880
And they also want you to be 
hysterical, These right wing 

65
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,560
bigots, not a fucking tooth in 
their head. 

66
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,760
People love seeing liberal 
people get up and there's a 

67
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,440
fucking good reason why we're 
upset. 

68
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,040
Yeah, of course there is, but 
they they love it. 

69
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,040
They thrive off it. 
They think that we are 

70
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,840
uneducated. 
They probably don't have one 

71
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,560
singular GCSE between the whole 
family. 

72
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520
That's you know, but it's 
fucking it's a classic and it 

73
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,160
happens everywhere. 
It happens everywhere. 

74
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,720
But the main thing to do is just
yet we we stay together. 

75
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:41,760
I really hope that these laws 
and bills is trying to pass, 

76
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,640
especially within Project 25, 
which of course he will love to 

77
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,320
say that he has no involvement 
in, even though 25 of his 

78
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,400
administration wrote it and 140 
of his employees work on it. 

79
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,760
So he's got dementia, he's got 
severe cognitive like 

80
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,600
dysfunction, or he's lying. 
Which one do you fucking think 

81
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,760
it is? 
OK. 

82
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,160
We've just got to hope that 
those don't get passed. 

83
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,000
And in the meantime, be so kind 
to yourself. 

84
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,160
Be so kind to other people. 
Don't let this make you wish 

85
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,360
that you were any different than
you are, please, because there 

86
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,040
is nothing better than living 
your truth and feeling that 

87
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,040
freedom. 
This is something that people 

88
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,480
like that are never going to 
feel, never going to feel 

89
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,720
because they are not one either 
brave enough or they just lack 

90
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,920
that empathy. 
Imagine living a life where you 

91
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,960
lack empathy. 
You're a miserable human being 

92
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,240
and talk about miserable human 
beings. 

93
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,720
I really want to talk today 
about mental health. 

94
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,120
I know that me and Scarlett have
like spoken about mental health 

95
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,240
quite a bit on this podcast 
because I feel like it's super 

96
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,360
relevant and also having better 
help as our sponsor. 

97
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,160
I mean, come on, it's great and 
we love talking about mental 

98
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,440
health. 
But recently I've just been 

99
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,640
working a lot more on my mental 
health and kind of understanding

100
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,800
actually the impacts that it's 
had in my life. 

101
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,280
And I only really want to talk 
about the areas that I've 

102
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:03,360
personally like struggled with 
mental health because I feel 

103
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,880
like, you know, I can definitely
lend an ear and have some kind 

104
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,920
of advice for people who, you 
know, suffered with something 

105
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,280
that I don't that I have never 
gone through. 

106
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,600
But I think it's always best to 
hear it from someone who's 

107
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,080
actually gone through it or is 
going through it. 

108
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:19,560
I think you all know, I mean, 
I've mentioned it before, like 

109
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,280
how bad my anxiety, it's like I 
have like a generalized anxiety 

110
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,040
disorder. 
It's more like a panic disorder 

111
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,200
where it will, I will spiral 
into panic attacks and some days

112
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,000
obviously much better than 
others. 

113
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,480
But when I tell you it's so 
fucking exhausting, it is 

114
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,760
sometimes just debilitating. 
And not only does it make me 

115
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,200
feel kind of, it makes me feel 
like I want to jump out of my 

116
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,400
own skin. 
It makes me feel like I don't 

117
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,280
want to be here. 
It makes me want to completely, 

118
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,240
I mean, just erase myself, like 
get out, get out. 

119
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,560
It becomes so overwhelming. 
But also then I feel sorry for 

120
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,560
people who are around me and 
people who have to deal with it.

121
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,840
You know, whether that be 
Scarlet, whether it be family, 

122
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,720
friends, I, I feel terrible 
within those moments because and

123
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,080
by the way, no one's made me 
feel terrible about it, but it 

124
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,160
makes you feel really the way 
that I can put it is like 

125
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,800
pathetic as it makes me feel 
pathetic. 

126
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,360
And I think my ADHD has quite a 
lot to do with that because 

127
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840
obviously I think it's got to do
with that and also like 

128
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,480
rumination. 
So if you've got a DHDI think 

129
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,000
it's a lot easier to spiral. 
It's harder to talk yourself out

130
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,840
of a spiral when you have ADHD 
because your brain just is wired

131
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,160
so differently. 
And some people suffer in 

132
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,840
different areas, like struggling
different areas with ADHD, But 

133
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,280
for me, a big part of mine is 
rejection sensitivity dysphoria 

134
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,800
and that like emotional 
dysregulation. 

135
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,240
And so therefore it's hard to 
kind of understand those 

136
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,440
feelings and walk through them 
and get out the other side. 

137
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,400
And instead, sometimes I'll be 
like the fucking Tasmanian devil

138
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,920
in my head. 
And there's too many thoughts to

139
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,000
even to even grab one to like 
understand what that is or where

140
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,360
that's come from. 
And also, it'll just make me go 

141
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,640
to point blank, worst case 
scenario at all times. 

142
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,280
It is a miserable, miserable 
existence. 

143
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,480
And the same goes for 
depression. 

144
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,040
I think for a while I didn't 
really think that I suffered 

145
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,120
with it. 
And I think a lot of it does 

146
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,240
have to do with the fact that I 
have anxiety. 

147
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,600
I think the anxiety came first 
before the depression. 

148
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,320
And I think that the amount of 
times where I feel like anxiety 

149
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,800
has ruined just about every 
amazing thing in my life. 

150
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,720
It doesn't mean that those 
things weren't still amazing and

151
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,120
I didn't enjoy them, but that 
anxiety was still there. 

152
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,080
And the only time when I've ever
really been able to enjoy 

153
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,200
something is so why the fuck am 
I crying? 

154
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,880
It's like in the past. 
So. 

155
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,280
So I think about that, that 
thing and be like, oh, yeah, 

156
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,480
that that holiday was really 
fucking good. 

157
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,520
And like, I had a great time. 
And then I'm like, oh, why 

158
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,200
couldn't I felt like that when I
was there? 

159
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,160
And I think it's because when I 
know it's because the whole time

160
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,240
that I'm there, there's that 
worry that something is going to

161
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,760
happen and my body is fucking 
rearing itself like ready to go.

162
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,880
So when it's in the past 
already, I'm like, nothing bad 

163
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,360
happened. 
It was great. 

164
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,240
So I kind of can just see that 
for what that is. 

165
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,200
It's tiring. 
But yeah, I think it's that. 

166
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,560
I know that a load of you guys 
agree. 

167
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:13,680
And so many of you have asked me
about this and This is why I'm 

168
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,240
going into the detail. 
But you know, you have that 

169
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,760
anxiety that stops you from 
enjoying the things that you 

170
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,120
love. 
And then that builds this kind 

171
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,520
of like resentment in your body.
Your your brain learns behaviors

172
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,280
really not words. 
It learns those behaviors. 

173
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,200
It learns. 
I won't like that if I go there 

174
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,320
because I had a panic attack the
last time and it was quite 

175
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,240
literally a pub. 
Do you know what I mean? 

176
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,200
Or it like it wasn't a dangerous
space. 

177
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,480
I had all my friends there. 
It was great. 

178
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:42,600
But my anxiety was saying go the
fuck home. 

179
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,280
And the amount of times I have 
to force myself to stay in 

180
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,040
situations because I understand 
as well that going at home, it's

181
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,360
just telling your body that, 
yeah, you were completely right 

182
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,760
with the anxiety shit. 
Like 100% I had to get the fuck 

183
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,160
out of there. 
You have to feel the fear and do

184
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,280
it anyway. 
And that is one of the hardest 

185
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,160
things to do. 
And that goes for anxiety and 

186
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,280
depression. 
And then depression, I think is 

187
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,920
like a whole other ball game 
because it it makes you lose 

188
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:13,200
love out of your life and lose 
that light and it changes who 

189
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:19,000
you are for, by the way, not 
forever, but it changes your 

190
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,040
perception and you start to 
second guess yourself. 

191
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,960
You no longer trust yourself. 
You don't want to be in your own

192
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,960
skin. 
You want everything to just be 

193
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,200
over. 
You want the struggle to be 

194
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,400
over. 
It doesn't mean that you 

195
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,360
necessarily are like suicidal 
within those moments, but you 

196
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,960
just want it to be over. 
You don't want to feel those 

197
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,640
things anymore and you get kind 
of desperate. 

198
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,520
You want it to just go away. 
And then when those that when 

199
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,560
you are like a ruminator, but 
like me, it's like you will like

200
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:48,320
hang on to those thoughts and 
you will have a circuit of 

201
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,960
thoughts that just kind of go 
around and around and around. 

202
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,600
And it's because you're trying 
to control something that you 

203
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,920
don't have any control of. 
And you're trying to make sense 

204
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,760
out of things and you're almost 
trying to think that it's going 

205
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,560
to give you like a 
justification, but it just 

206
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,200
won't. 
Like you will never gain 

207
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,640
anything from ruminating. 
You'll never gain anything from 

208
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,080
going over the same scenario 
100,000 times. 

209
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,000
What you can do, you can build 
on your present and your future.

210
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,680
You can build on that. 
And it is hard. 

211
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,640
And let me just say, like if you
even managed to get out of bed 

212
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,720
today, fucking well done. 
When you are depressed and 

213
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,880
obviously people deal with 
depression so many different 

214
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,080
ways and so many different 
tactics work for different 

215
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,720
people and obviously there are 
different levels as well. 

216
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,080
But that massive hurdle of that 
day could have been just getting

217
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,040
out of bed for somebody else. 
That massive hurdle could have 

218
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,440
been going to work. 
The other person could have been

219
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,880
going out for dinner with a 
friend. 

220
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,480
And and it can also fluctuate as
well, right? 

221
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,920
It can always be different. 
But if you have done those 

222
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,800
things, you need to congratulate
yourself every single time. 

223
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,480
You can't say fucking hell wise 
it's so hard to do this thing. 

224
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,000
God, I just wish it was easier, 
blah, blah, blah. 

225
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,840
No, no, no, you go, I'm going 
there. 

226
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,040
I'm so proud of myself for doing
that. 

227
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,160
I'm so proud of myself for 
getting out. 

228
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,920
I'm so proud of myself for 
having a shower. 

229
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,160
I'm so proud of myself for 
brushing my teeth. 

230
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,000
You have to. 
Even though you don't love 

231
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,720
yourself within this moment of 
depression, you need to force 

232
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,560
yourself to tell yourself 
affirmations of love and 

233
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,080
kindness. 
It is so hard. 

234
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,040
It is so hard and it makes you 
flip out and it's so hard trying

235
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,000
to love yourself when the 
depression has made you feel 

236
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,480
like an entirely different 
person, a person that you don't 

237
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,080
recognize. 
So in your head you're thinking,

238
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,120
how the fuck am I supposed to 
love this? 

239
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Because I don't love what's 
going on right now and I don't 

240
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,480
love this person. 
This person isn't me. 

241
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:35,680
But you need to show that person
love because that person, you 

242
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,480
are still there, right? 
And that person, the more that 

243
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,960
you shed that love on it, you're
just kind of washing away, 

244
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,520
washing away, washing away and 
bringing back your core, your 

245
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,160
person, who you are. 
And depression takes the most 

246
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,200
lightest, beautiful souls. 
It has no mercy. 

247
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,240
It doesn't matter who you are, 
doesn't matter how much money 

248
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:59,280
you have or how many friends you
have or success, family, house, 

249
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,040
whatever it might be, it doesn't
matter. 

250
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,960
It has no type. 
Depression is basically like the

251
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,480
mental health version of a slag.
It doesn't really matter who you

252
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,320
are, what you got. 
They'll fuck you anyway. 

253
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,040
Do you know what I mean? 
Like, like the depression will 

254
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,080
fuck you anyway. 
And I think that sometimes in 

255
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,560
those moments of lightness, and 
it could just be that you saw 

256
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,400
something really cute. 
You saw a dog earlier when you 

257
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,640
were getting a coffee that 
really, like, warmed your heart 

258
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,520
or you watched a film that made 
you feel better. 

259
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:30,920
You know, those things you need 
to, like, be like, fucking. 

260
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,640
Yeah. 
Like, there is. 

261
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,120
There is goodness. 
And we've and we've been in that

262
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,240
good place before. 
It's so trust me, you'll really 

263
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,480
saying Freya, shut the fuck up, 
shut the fuck up. 

264
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,120
And I and I get it. 
I get it. 

265
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,280
I fucking get it honestly. 
Like fuck, it's exhausting. 

266
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:49,120
It is fatiguing. 
It makes you hate everything in 

267
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,240
your fucking life. 
But Jesus Christ, please just 

268
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,160
listen to me as the voice of 
reason, as someone who knows 

269
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,560
exactly how it feels that you 
kind of raise this. 

270
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:02,000
You can get over it. 
And you will have your moments 

271
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,520
of flipping out and say you've 
had a few weeks where you're 

272
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,840
feeling so much better. 
You've been able to do normal 

273
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,840
things again. 
And you're like seeing your 

274
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,440
friends. 
You're managing to laugh and 

275
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,240
you're and then you have that 
one day on a Thursday and you 

276
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,120
fucking break down in tears and 
you can't leave your room. 

277
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,760
It doesn't mean it's coming 
back. 

278
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,440
It's because healing isn't 
linear. 

279
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,680
Healing doesn't just go whoop, 
let's fucking go. 

280
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,280
It's not like a plane. 
It's basically like a turbulent 

281
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,960
plane, actually. 
It's like you will get up there 

282
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,960
and you will have some rocky 
moments. 

283
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,760
It doesn't mean that the plane 
is going to crash. 

284
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,920
It just means that you are still
on your journey to reach this 

285
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,480
destination that you can't wait 
for, but you're up in the air 

286
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,240
and you've managed to get off 
the runway and you're up here 

287
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,680
and you're doing the best that 
you can and you are carrying all

288
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,720
of those problems. 
So depression is like a plane 

289
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,480
now that I've decided you are 
carrying all those problems, 

290
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,880
you're carrying all that 
baggage, you are lifting the 

291
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,680
load. 
You are a fucking heavy machine 

292
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,440
and you're supposed to fucking 
fly when you're a machine, a 

293
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,080
metal machine on the ground and 
someone's saying you need to 

294
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,120
fucking fly now. 
And you're going, no, because 

295
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,600
I'm literally like 20 tons. 
I don't even know how fucking 

296
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,600
heavy is a plane. 
I don't know. 

297
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,040
You're like, I am literally, I 
am this huge fucking thing with 

298
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,400
some little wheels. 
How on earth am I supposed to 

299
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,800
get up there? 
And the more and more 

300
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,320
encouragement, the more 
engineers work on you and you 

301
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,320
finally realize that you've got 
these, like you've got these 

302
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,760
turbines behind you and some 
wings. 

303
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,400
And those wings can be the 
people that really fucking help 

304
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,200
you and who are just or even 
just there for you or even your 

305
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,120
own thoughts that are there for 
you. 

306
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,080
And those turbines is the power.
That's the power that you need 

307
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,600
to push yourself. 
And not too much by the way, but

308
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,400
you need to give yourself that 
like healthy encouragement. 

309
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,840
And then you find yourself 
slowly gliding up. 

310
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,440
And then when you are up, you 
will have those moments of 

311
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,840
turbulence where it feels like 
you're going to fail and you 

312
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,760
feel like you're going to crash 
because you've still got all 

313
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,640
these people on board. 
You still got all these problems

314
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,880
on board, but whilst you're up 
in the air, those problems are 

315
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,560
so much lighter than they were 
when you're on the ground and 

316
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,080
you are about to reach that 
beautiful destination that's 

317
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:13,320
going to make you feel warm and 
happy again and be able to enjoy

318
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,400
your life. 
But it takes time. 

319
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,800
And some people's flight could 
be to fucking Santorini. 

320
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,240
The next person's flight could 
be to Bali. 

321
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,120
Like it's a we all just process 
things differently and that's 

322
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,480
absolutely OK. 
I think comparison is the thief 

323
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,800
of joy. 
Don't compare yourself to 

324
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,960
anyone. 
And I think sometimes as well, 

325
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,560
that's what's hard. 
Like people find depressed 

326
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,160
people, right? 
And then they compare themselves

327
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,280
to that person and then that 
person might start feeling 

328
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,400
better before you do. 
And then you're like, what the 

329
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,200
hell, Right now I'm alone. 
I think The thing is with mental

330
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,400
health as well, it's such a 
lonely feeling like you, you 

331
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,680
feel alone. 
You could be in a room full of 

332
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,920
people. 
You feel so alone. 

333
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,960
And it's something that when I 
was younger, like the only way 

334
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,760
that I can really put it, it is 
like I've always felt like my 

335
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,880
life has been like a very like 
long struggle. 

336
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,080
I've struggled a lot in my life 
with so many different things. 

337
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:01,760
And I really, I really tried, 
like I spent so many years 

338
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,560
trying to better, whether that 
be myself or my career, partner,

339
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,839
friendships, family issues. 
And I pushed and pushed and 

340
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:16,200
pushed like against all odds. 
And I did finally get to a spot 

341
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,880
where I, you know, I get to 
plenty of spots where I feel 

342
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,720
better. 
Like I'm so I'm so proud of 

343
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,400
everything that I've managed to 
achieve. 

344
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,119
And that's why sometimes it can 
be so frustrating that I still 

345
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:30,760
feel this way because I thought 
that once I achieve everything I

346
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:36,480
wanted and I have more money, 
more friends, that I'll feel 

347
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,920
better and that the anxiety will
just wash away. 

348
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,240
And that kind of depression, 
those past issues that I haven't

349
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:44,920
actually dealt with properly 
will just go away. 

350
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,320
And that's not how it works, 
unfortunately. 

351
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,600
I wish someone told me, no, it 
doesn't work. 

352
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,840
I mean, I'm in a way I'm kind of
glad for it because I'm like, 

353
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,080
that is what strived me to do as
well as I could in my life. 

354
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,640
And I'm, by the way, I'm still 
going. 

355
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,000
I don't feel like I've reached 
the peak, but like, that was 

356
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,760
what strived me was that I was 
like, I will feel better. 

357
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,080
So I'm kind of glad that it was 
there in a way, you know, 

358
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,520
because I feel like I probably 
wouldn't have achieved as much 

359
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,320
as I have so far at the age of 
30 then I would have done had I 

360
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,720
not had those issues. 
You know, I think it's like 

361
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,600
trying to see the Silver Linings
maybe. 

362
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,520
But it does. 
It does get better and I know 

363
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,560
that it gets better and I've 
definitely had moments in life 

364
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,760
where I felt 100 times better 
than I feel today, for instance.

365
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,600
And I've had days where I felt 
200% worse. 

366
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,160
So I think it's about 
remembering those things that 

367
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,400
you can put that effort into. 
But fucking hell, like, I don't 

368
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,840
know about you guys, but I also 
feel like intro prospection. 

369
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,040
I think that's the word 
introspection is where you is 

370
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:53,160
basically where you where you 
are always thinking about your 

371
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,320
mental health in the sense where
and just the person that you are

372
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,000
because you're trying to like 
continually like better things. 

373
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,760
You're trying to analyze things 
and sometimes we don't need to 

374
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,440
analyze everything. 
Not everything can be put down 

375
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,880
to an attachment type. 
Not everything can be put down 

376
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,960
to a mental health illness. 
Not everything can be put down 

377
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,720
to a neurodivergency. 
Sometimes we are just who we 

378
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,440
fucking are and we are all 
humans and you can't just shove 

379
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,960
a fucking label on everything 
because it's just not how it 

380
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,680
fucking. 
It's just not how it works. 

381
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,080
Like you need to be able to have
more like compassion for just 

382
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,400
the person that you are and be 
like, I said no to that because 

383
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,200
I just didn't want to fucking go
or I, you know, and just own 

384
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,960
your shit and be like, yeah, I 
got angry. 

385
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,280
You know, I don't want to maybe 
I don't want to have to talk 

386
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,240
about like all the fucking 
triggers which got me to that 

387
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,560
point. 
Like I just say like something 

388
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,600
angered me and I got angry 
because we're still animals. 

389
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,400
We still have that like 
animalistic instinct that's 

390
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,280
within us, right? 
To have that like right out, 

391
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,400
like to have that thing that 
goes that like protection. 

392
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,120
You know, I don't know. 
I think I think as well, like 

393
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,080
obviously with mental health 
issues, I don't know if it's 

394
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,280
because people within the LGBTQ 
community are more open. 

395
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,440
We talk about it more, but I do 
actually think that we similarly

396
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,280
just kind of suffer with a lot 
more in our lives, a lot more 

397
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,680
adversity where we face 
homophobia every day, whether it

398
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,280
be microbe, we face it. 
We worry about telling a 

399
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,880
stranger that we've got a 
girlfriend. 

400
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,000
We worry that any person really 
just won't accept you for who 

401
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,240
you are and true truly just 
based on your sexuality. 

402
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,520
So it's no longer got to do with
your personality. 

403
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,680
It's got no longer to do with 
the way that you look. 

404
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,640
You know that your your worth is
up to debate with just about 

405
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,640
anyone just purely based on your
sexuality. 

406
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,720
So basically just be a cunt 
because they're going to hate 

407
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,160
you anyway. 
And sometimes you can't kill 

408
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,720
people with kindness. 
Sometimes you just can't. 

409
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,240
Like I feel like people, people 
don't like what they don't 

410
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,120
understand. 
People don't like what they're 

411
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,600
scared of because potentially it
triggers a little something 

412
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,320
inside of them. 
It's not much you can do, but I 

413
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,200
think everyone is like deserving
of a different answer. 

414
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,360
Some people I will go full on 
complete, I will humiliate you 

415
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:08,720
mode and another time I will 
just literally laugh and just 

416
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,760
walk away because it's just not 
worth my energy. 

417
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,720
You know, if that's your if 
that's your thought, I'm not 

418
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,200
here to convince you. 
I'm not here to convince you to 

419
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,080
be a decent human being. 
That's not my job. 

420
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,560
And this is another reason as 
well, guys, why I fucking 

421
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,640
obviously, if you're in a safe 
space to do so, I lead with 

422
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,360
telling new people that I meet 
that I have a lesbian podcast, 

423
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:33,240
I've got a girlfriend, etcetera.
I lead with that because it's 

424
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,920
gonna give me an answer as to 
whether I continue on that 

425
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,240
conversation or not because if 
they react weirdly, I will 

426
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,360
remove myself. 
I have no fucks given and people

427
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:45,320
say you have no shame. 
It's like no, they have no 

428
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,440
fucking shame. 
And they also just don't deserve

429
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,960
to be in my fucking company. 
That they don't deserve to be in

430
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,400
my company. 
They don't deserve to have that 

431
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,200
conversation. 
They don't deserve to fucking be

432
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,440
in the air that I breathe. 
I will leave. 

433
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,880
I don't deal with that anymore 
because I find it pathetic. 

434
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,120
And I think that especially when
it comes to lesbians, I think 

435
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:09,240
that women are like forced and 
ingrained to appease men. 

436
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,240
And so as soon as a man like 
says that like, oh, can I join 

437
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,560
or whatever. 
I know a lot of women, 

438
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,760
unfortunately, because they are 
trying to appease men and 

439
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,600
because they don't want to upset
them, they don't want to make it

440
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,440
awkward. 
They'll make a joke out of it 

441
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,080
or, you know, they'll feel 
uncomfortable, but carry on that

442
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,000
conversation. 
And I think for me, I have to 

443
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,720
look them up and down and be 
like, even if I was straight, 

444
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,680
there is no fucking way I'd go 
near you. 

445
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,640
People who say jokes when you 
come out are so little. 

446
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,840
They're like little small men or
a little small women. 

447
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,680
But let's be real, it's usually 
men. 

448
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,920
And also like circling back to 
the Trump thing, obviously it's 

449
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,160
terrifying that there's our boys
in school saying your body my 

450
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,240
choice. 
But what I can't wait for, I 

451
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,920
can't wait for the gay men to 
say it. 

452
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,480
I can't wait because if it's all
men that are going to go around 

453
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,160
saying your body my choice, 
please let it be the gay ones 

454
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,160
and see what happens. 
OK? 

455
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,320
You see how it feels when a big 
old burly gay comes your way 

456
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,480
with a your body my choice Do 
you puny little man? 

457
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,360
I don't understand why men 
believe that they have power 

458
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:20,200
over women's bodies. 
They certainly fucking don't. 

459
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,800
You don't owe men shit. 
I mean people say not all men. 

460
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,120
I can't be asked you know who 
you are if you're not that guy, 

461
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,640
right? 
That I'm talking about may not 

462
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,600
be not all men, but it is all 
men that are doing this shit. 

463
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,440
OK. 
And unfortunately now there are 

464
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,040
female supporters of Trump even 
with all of this anti female 

465
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:52,120
laws and they're pro-life. 
I'm pro-life, I'm pro-life. 

466
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,520
I'm pro existing lives too. 
No, God, I'm not pro-life. 

467
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,320
Fuck, no, I don't No, I mean, 
like I'm, I know no, I'm 

468
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,760
pro-choice. 
I'm pro-choice. 

469
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,480
I'm pro-choice, but I'm pro-life
for the person carrying that 

470
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,920
baby. 
I'm pro-life for the person that

471
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,400
got fucking raped and they are 
now carrying a baby that they do

472
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,440
they cannot categorically have. 
It will be trauma. 

473
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,640
I'm pro-life for the women that 
are suffering with multiple 

474
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,280
years of abuse or they then get 
pregnant and then the the the 

475
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,040
fetus is, is decaying inside of 
them. 

476
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,040
And this recently happened in 
Georgia. 

477
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,160
This recently happened in 
Georgia as a 28 year old woman 

478
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,800
and she took Plan B, but it left
some of the fetal composition 

479
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,520
within her body and it started 
to cause an infection within her

480
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,960
body. 
So she went into the hospital in

481
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,440
Georgia, in Atlanta. 
They couldn't physically remove 

482
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,480
that dead, decaying fetus inside
of her. 

483
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,080
So they waited and they waited 
and they waited until she got 

484
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,040
sicker and sicker and sicker and
then they performed the surgery 

485
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,400
and she died. 
And this is the reality that 

486
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,240
sadly, we are now facing. 
This was a procedure that would 

487
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,080
have been quite routine and 
these doctors would potentially 

488
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,640
have faced 10 years in jail for 
performing it. 

489
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,400
And she has a six year old 
little boy that now doesn't have

490
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,840
a mom, a 28 year old. 
She's two years younger than me 

491
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,880
and this is what you're after 
when you're going pro-life? 

492
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,600
pro-life, Fuck off. 
Just fuck off. 

493
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,040
Educate yourself, get some 
education. 

494
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,960
Why? 
Like also, why the fuck do you 

495
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,200
care? 
Why do you care what other 

496
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,840
people do about their body? 
Why do you care whether they are

497
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,600
bought a baby or not? 
So literally, it's the furthest 

498
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,400
thing that has got to do with 
me. 

499
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,120
But yeah, I think, can you tell 
I'm fucking wound up today? 

500
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:49,120
I just think that honestly, the 
education system needs a revamp,

501
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,000
but it's not going to get it 
because Trump wants to ban a 

502
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,480
load of books too, honey, a load
of very important books. 

503
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,600
But God, fucking hell, Freya, 
this is a depressing episode. 

504
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,280
I'm sorry, guys, I am sorry. 
I think that I haven't I haven't

505
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,640
been in the best space this 
week. 

506
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,720
It's been a hard week for me. 
And I'm just trying to be honest

507
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,840
because I felt like I felt, I 
felt a little bit less alone 

508
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,440
when I'm like sat here and I'm 
talking to you, I feel like I'm 

509
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,480
able to actually talk to people 
and, and I don't feel incredibly

510
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,440
judged. 
I think it's kind of easier that

511
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,440
you're not sat in the room with 
me. 

512
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,280
I'm going to be honest. 
But it's, it's good. 

513
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,320
It's good and it's therapeutic. 
And I promise, not every single 

514
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,400
episode is going to be 
depressing. 

515
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,720
So if this is the first one that
you're listening to, I'm sorry, 

516
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,840
but I need to sometimes be 
fucking real. 

517
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,120
And sometimes we need to talk 
about the hardship and sometimes

518
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,800
you need to be encouraged. 
Sometimes you need to hear 

519
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,520
what's going on with people's 
lives because it's just real 

520
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,720
life. 
And I mean, I know that I, I 

521
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,200
find solace like hearing someone
who I listen to normally, like 

522
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,960
talk about their issues in their
life and their mental health 

523
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,200
struggles because I'm like, OK, 
so yeah, I, I'm really not 

524
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,640
alone. 
I know I put on the best front 

525
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,040
ever. 
I know that people never guess 

526
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,280
that there's any mental health 
issues apart from being like 

527
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,040
clinically insane. 
No, I, I think it's weird. 

528
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,640
It's funny because, yeah, I'm a 
very outgoing person. 

529
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,800
And so I think that there's this
kind of stereotype that I, well,

530
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:15,880
you don't really suffer from 
that. 

531
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,440
And it's like, no babe, I do. 
I do. 

532
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,160
And so it comes in all different
shapes and sizes. 

533
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,680
Guys, I didn't even fucking, I 
didn't even find a Horror Story 

534
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,840
to read out because I'm 
literally a well, I will say one

535
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,400
thing though, guys, Oh my God. 
If you do have ADHD and you 

536
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,360
suffer with like depression, 
take your meds or get prescribed

537
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:41,360
some meds that are good at 
regulating emotions. 

538
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:46,800
Because I didn't take it Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday and I was in a 

539
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,840
hole, a spiraling hole. 
I was literally like I couldn't 

540
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,760
even walk on the Wednesday 
morning. 

541
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,280
I took my pill that I 
remembered. 

542
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,720
I went to go and get a coffee 
and like whilst I was going to 

543
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,040
get a coffee. 
By the way, guys, this was a 

544
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,040
struggle. 
I bumped into my friend whilst I

545
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,680
looked like something deranged. 
She looked at me like, Oh my 

546
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,640
God, OK. 
And I'm like, yeah, I know. 

547
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,280
And then I went to go and get my
coffee, came back still 

548
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,520
depressed, tried to do some 
work. 

549
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:20,520
And then it went like, Ding. 
I was like, oh, oh, oh, yeah, 

550
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,160
OK, that's better, that is 
better. 

551
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,680
And I was like, oh man, I'm a 
fucking idiot. 

552
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,680
I actually am. 
I've just lost three days. 

553
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,720
I'm a fucking idiot. 
I cleaned my house, I went over 

554
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,240
to Westfields, bought a new 
Hoover, picked up our new 

555
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,160
phones. 
Oh my God, I could eat again. 

556
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,280
Christ, fuck, what a fucking 
idiot. 

557
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,480
Anyway, we'll be doing that 
again. 

558
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,920
And yeah, I think, I don't know 
what I was thinking by not 

559
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,280
taking them. 
It was stupid. 

560
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,960
It was dumb. 
But anyway, guys, speeds you 

561
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,000
say? 
Oh by the way, also God Jesus 

562
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,680
Christ, I did actually take my 
meds today. 

563
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,800
I don't feel like they're 
working on the 22nd of this 

564
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,840
month. 
We've got another lesbian pub 

565
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,840
night which I cannot wait for. 
The one last month was just a 

566
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:13,280
fucking hilarious Oh my God, and
you guys bring it every single 

567
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,680
time. 
So if you want to come have a 

568
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,960
look at the link in the bio 
22nd. 

569
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,520
It's on a Friday, which is 
great. 

570
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,200
And also I'm going to pop in 
some links in there as well 

571
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,760
because like if anything I've 
said is like resonated with you.

572
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,800
Obviously I always advocate for 
therapy through better help, but

573
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,560
also you feel that you really 
need that like severe help and 

574
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,080
like right now, like emergency 
care. 

575
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,040
I will put those links in there.
So you have access. 

576
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,960
I'm here for you reach out. 
I love talking about this kind 

577
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,840
of stuff and I promise you I'll 
be happier next time. 

578
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,280
But I love you all and I'll 
speak to you next week. 

579
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,120
Bye.
