In 2016 I had my first breakdown in a foreign country, which left me feeling alone and very afraid. A diagnosis (which I STILL struggle with) and six years later I've been working to put myself back together again and rediscover who I really am. In the Life and Minds podcast, join me as I share my story and have conversations with those I love and admire on mental health. You can expect laughter, a tear or two and lots of acapella singing (by your girl herself). New episodes every Monday. I'd love to hear from you - send me an email at lifeinmindsthepod@gmail.com or catch me on insta @lifeinmindsthepod.

    S1E5 7 Hangovers from Mania and my cures for them

    S1E5 7 Hangovers from Mania and my cures for them

    Today’s episode is about 7 hangovers I experience following each manic episode and my cures for them.

    The hangovers are:
    1. Hyper-vigilance around sleep
    2. Loss of self confidence
    3. Lack of self-trust
    4. Fearing/discounting your natural talents and abilities
    5. Feeling broken/damaged because of your diagnosis
    6. Fear of changing routine/status quo
    7. Fear of spirituality

    These are some of the not great side-effects that come with losing your mind (at least for me) but the good news is you can move past them! I’ll be giving you the tools I used and am hopeful they will be useful to you too.

    As always I’d love to hear from you so…

RTBennett23 ,

Love it!

Thato shares her personal stories of mental health in a direct and authentic manner, with a v interesting mix of both her own experiences and more general discussion of contemporary society’s approach to mental health. Also some delightful musical interludes (would love more of these!). The episodes have a great feel-good factor in spite of the serious topics, and the overall message is one of hope, self-love and kindness. Thank you Thato for sharing your story with us! <3
