Andrew Bridgewater, Chartered Psychologist says: This is what I'm working on at the moment - a "User Manual For The Mind" and wish I'd had one of these in 2006! I wouldn't have ended up in a psychiatric hospital for 5 weeks worrying about the hole I was shovelling money into: a big mortgage with negative equity on the house I'm sitting in right now. Looks crazy to me when I write that. No matter what happens in life, we are always resilient enough to handle it - when we know how. A fraudster in Cyprus proved that in 2013 when he stole half my pension and all the savings for my sons' further education, amounting to £150,000. That's twice the amount I was worrying about 7 years before and no hospital trip that time. So what changed? For one thing, I've learned to really forgive myself and others - why cart all that pain and resentment around? Challenges can teach us so much and in 2006 as I lay locked up on my own in a hospital room, I vowed to research everything I could find about how to deal with severe stress, anxiety and depression naturally - because all I was being offered were drugs with horrible side-effects. So that's why I've spent the last 10 years collecting and bottling up what it takes to enjoy great mental and physical health.

Andrew Bridgewater and Kim Wymer share 5 things you must know about alcohol and stress to lead a happier and healthier life. 1. You can feel socially confident without alcohol and don't ever need alcohol to be happy 2. It looks like alcohol can relieve stress but it's truly a depressant and people who drink more alcohol are far more prone to depression and anxiety 3. Take a week off alcohol and see how powerful a substance it is by reflecting on the changes in your mind and body 4. None of us knows where the boundary between moderate drinking and alcoholism is and it's different for everyone 5. Vaccines are helpful but we can't outsource our health to a vaccine. As a toxin, alcohol isn't supporting your natural immune system I recorded this excellent piece with Kim Wymer, one of my Mood & Food course students recently. Kim previously had serious alcohol problems and was very open in talking about them.
