All right, Mickey here, with an advert for better health therapy online.

You all right? Such a small question and sometimes such a big question too, eh?

Now, regular listeners will know I am no stranger to depression and while over time and with the help of some decent counseling and brilliant friends and family I've established a toolkit to help when the constantly dripping tap of life gets a bit too much.

That does not mean I am a stress-free human rainbow skipping through meadows.

I mean who is? We all carry around different stresses big and, and sometimes we can deal, and sometimes it's

much harder to coke. Like, they're it. Right now, I have a teenage puppy to deal with, and

although I love her very, very very much she can be a lot. There said it. And as quick a fix as it seems to say, I'm fine, I'm fine and push it all down into the big inside box and put that lid on.

For me that hasn't been a great long-term solution in that if I don't get it off my

chest it will at some point come bubbling up and it's never been one to

pick its moments in a good way. I find talking means I can avoid it exploding out of me

like a messy emotional volcano all over my Nana's carpet.

Also, during my various times in talk therapy,

I discovered that saying something out loud or writing it down

can make it seem much more manageable than allowing it to swirl around and grow ever bigger in my head.

If you're thinking of starting therapy, give better help a try. I've found knowing

how to reach out is sometimes the toughest bit but better help is entirely online.

Boom which means it couldn't be easier you just fill out a brief questionnaire to get

matched with the registered therapist there were at your schedule.

With more than a thousand therapists in the UK already, better help can provide access to mental health

professionals with a wide variety of expert teams in mental health.
