Find your voice - Episode 8 - Memoirs of an Anxious Mind - Cos Kyriacou
Tagline: "To HIM its just a game, playing with my mind. An easy target for HIM, he always seems to find. He always seems to be there to put me in my place, lurking and scheming like a puff of smoke up in my face..."
Cos is a talented Poet who has found his voice by utilising the power poetry in speaking about his depression and anxiety. Riddled with many trials and tribulations growing up Cos has battled with suicidal thoughts from time to time.
Now determined to conquer his mindset working on his health, thoughts and gifts he is looking to help those struggling with mental health illness more.
Alongside this, Cos is also a qualified Accountant and Personal Trainer and this is just some of his hidden talents.
