I’m Not Rude, I’m Just Anxious

I really hate the term B.A.M.E and I’m gonna tell you why... this week I discuss why the term B.A.M.E completely misses the mark when it comes to inclusion from mental health to economics.

We don’t fail - we merely take what we know from the past and move forward with it! Welcome to episode 1 of ‘I’m Not Rude, I’m Just Anxious’. Delving into me, my mental health and how I wish to erase my anxiety by moving forward in the future and not just worrying about it.

Hey Guys!

This weeks episode is with a Counsellor - Michelle! This week we are talking about the impact of COVID-19 mentally, how we can be better equipped to help ourselves, how to place boundaries when it comes to technology, the benefits of therapy, online therapy, how ANYBODY can call themselves a counsellor, why it’s okay to change counsellors and therapy apps.

Stormzy recently opened up in a discussion with South London charity - Carney’s Community about quitting weed. As a former weed smoker myself I empathise heavily with why he’s quit and LOVE that he’s spoken on this.
