I have seen mental health conversations evolve throughout my career. The very fact
00:06
that we're talking about mental health is kind of crazy because when we merged
00:09
in 1995 nobody talked about mental health at all. It was sort of taboo quite
00:13
honestly and yeah so that's how I would answer that question. How do I
00:21
manage social media so that it doesn't have a negative effect on my health? You
00:29
know I'm lucky like I'm old so I just don't really give a fuck. I think that's
00:36
how I handle it. I mean it's easier the older you get the more experienced you
00:41
become the less you take it seriously. Also there is the great block button which
00:47
I have found just reeks revenge anytime somebody says something horrible like
00:51
you're old, you're fat, you're ugly, you're this, you're that. I'm just like and block.

different parts of the world? That's a really interesting question. I have seen
01:11

01:18
not focus on mental health. I'm not going to call anybody out but my own homeland
01:23
was definitely in Scotland was definitely one of the last countries really to start
01:28
talking about how all of us at some point struggle you know with the weight of
01:33
the day or we worry about our job or landing a partner in life. I don't know
01:39
there's a billion and one things we worry ourselves about and to the point where
01:42
sometimes we can make ourselves sick. But it does seem globally in general
01:47
there's an awareness now that we are fragile beings and we're not meant to always
01:52
feel happy and we're not always supposed to feel on top of things and I think we just
01:58
have to be a bit more forgiving of ourselves I guess.
