I’m a bloke in my early 40’s who has had some mental health struggles and will probably have them again at some point in the future.
This kind of writing is EXACTLY what I want to read. You’ve got one hell of a talent Sam. People like me are hard to reach and connect with, we don’t want to talk about our troubles because we’re scared of all the touchy-feely bollocks. Every time I read your blogs I catch myself sitting nodding my head in agreement.
You talk to us in our language. It’s refreshing and funny, whilst powerful and emotional.
Keep it up Sam, you’re doing us all a great service.
Brilliant read as always Sam - at my first job I bullshitted about having a gig-going/ high octane lifestyle and made myself class-clown to try and fit in. Truth was, I was highly anxious and socially insecure (having had a miserable high school experience at an all-boys school that left me terrified of communicating with girls).
It’s only in the last 10 years I have opened up to people about my feelings and it’s extremely liberating.

Keep em coming Sam!
Good stuff again. Haven’t quite got the nerve to be totally honest about how I feel ALL the time but I’m working on it. This helps loads so thanks Sam
