So I recorded my thoughts and heartbreak to encourage those out there who are battling similar thoughts and who are in need of encouragement to ask for help.

Today I was also in a very dark place, having intrusive thoughts and extremely low mood; my thoughts drifted to suicide and self harm regularly throughout the day.

Welcome to episode 3 of Exercising Depression. This episode is the first instalment of my history; my upbringing and childhood.

I regret this may be a little dull, but it is the precursor to part 2 which will delve a little more into darker territories; my years at High School & College where I had my first real exoeriences with mental illness.

This episode is a little more light hearted and sets the foundations of the person I am today...enjoy!
