How do you cope with Ellison John?

Hello everyone and welcome to the final episode of this series of How Do You Cope with Ellison

John and it's a different type of vibe we're ringing the changes here that How Do You

Cote Towers, just because over the course of the last series we've had so much correspondence

from you, the other listener, that we wanted to go through some of that and reflect some

of the things that you've said.

Some of the takes you've had and some of the ways in which our conversations have been

of use or have given you perhaps an alternative view or just provided support and comfort

in knowing that situations you find yourself in are also shared by others.

Haven't we Ellison?

Yes.

Just a heads up, some of the correspondence we're going to be reading through today covers

topics such as mental health, alcohol addiction, suicide and eating disorders.

So if you're affected by anything you hear, head to bbc.co.uk forward slash action

line.

The correspondence we've received has been very, very nice, so thank you very much for

that.

We'll be reading some of those emails in a second, but before we get to your emails,

John, how's your shame?

Oh, not too bad actually mate.

Pretty good.
