Content Warning: Suicide, suicidal ideation, self harm, self harm methods, abuse, depression, substance abuse mentions. Chester Bennington was my hero. Bear with me if you assume this is going to a vapid celebrity obsession piece (even if it were, everyone has a right to do and feel whatever they like when it comes to celebrities!). No, this is a difficult and very important subject for me, as this particular celebrity, and his death, were particularly important and difficult for me.

Content Warning: OCD, BPD, loneliness, medication and crying. I'm struggling at the moment. Dealing with certain facets of Borderline Personality Disorder and OCD has exhausted me and I'm emotionally wrung out. Sorry, I get a bit emotional near the end, you have been warned. Being in lockdown is hard on everyone, I know. For some reason being confined to my home has amped up my normally controlled and "mild" OCD, I can't remember how to deal with it on a daily basis and it's causing some stress. I've been feeling increasingly lonely and I miss my family so much. This podcast is also a YouTube channel!

Welcome back to the Exercising Depression podcast.  This week I discuss my reasons for starting weight training.  I started weight training around June 2019, it's something I have found real joy in and some incredible mental health benefits. Feeling strong has never been a familiar feeling to me, it's quite alien but I am learning to feel it with real achievement and it's helping me every day.   Exercising Depression started as (and continues to be) a podcast in June 2019 and now, in January 2020 i decided to record them as vlogs alongside the podcast. This is to hopefully reach a wider audience in my mission to tackle to stigma surrounding mental health, by having frequent, open and honest conversations about living with mental health problems every day. Whether the conversations are between myself and you  guys, or special guests, let's work together to lift the stigma,d make talking about mental health normal.  Please feel free to contact me!  Email: exercisingdepressionpodcast@gmail.com  Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/EDepressionPod  Instagram: @ExercisingDepression_Podcast YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/ExercisingDepression  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/exercisingdepression/message
