As the founder of http://www.playingwithoutpain.com, I am committed to connecting musicians with resources to treat and prevent performance-related injuries and maintain their mental health. I've struggled with chronic anxiety for my entire life and have experienced several rounds of performance-related injuries. I hold two degrees in classical flute performance and a master of business administration (MBA). I hope that by sharing my story and the research I've done on the prevalence of performance-related injuries and the stress connection in collegiate musicians, that I can help change the narrative for musicians experiencing injuries or mental health challenges and increase access to resources for all. I love the work TMDTA is doing, and I'm so grateful to Hattie and Rebecca for creating a supportive and community-oriented space for these important discussions to take place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/88d5ba37-325d-4199-9e95-04d0bdf64d87/TMDTA+banner+2.png Blog - Seeking Safety: Navigating Generalized Anxiety as a Musician - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/we-are-still-here monthly 0.5 2022-12-25 https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/not-enough-has-changed-since-diana-told-the-world-about-her-self-harm-in-1995 monthly 0.5 2024-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/836ec9ab-2e05-4cc4-aadc-59bc1e91dc0b/Princess_Diana_-_Royal_Visit_to_Halifax%2C_Nova_Scotia_-_June_1983_%2837448879456%29.jpeg Blog - Not enough has changed since Diana told the world about her self-harm in 1995 - Make it stand out Diana in Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 1983 https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/uk-disability-history-month-gaelynn-lea monthly 0.5 2022-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/c53af384-4d82-440f-9362-795cbd4bc468/headshot.jpg Blog - Gaelynn Lea : UK Disability History Month - Why the series?

I am often frustrated with some of the more reductive narratives surrounding disabled creatives in the media and quite how intrusive interviewers’ questions can be when it comes to disability. UKDHM provides an opportunity to challenge some of the more harmful historiography surrounding disabled artists. That may be false-inspirational and objectifying notions of ‘overcoming disability’ or lives erroneously painted in the monotone wash of a single characteristic. For this reason, I have tried to include wherever possible the artist’s own words on topics such as their craft, personal philosophy and views on access within the arts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/e3065853-26eb-43d3-aa95-839b17105f59/glennie.jpg Blog - Dame Evelyn Glennie: UK Disability History Month - Make it stand out Copyright Kaupo Kikkas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/e3c11be0-4979-466b-8173-8f4dc635f95d/glennie3.jpg Blog - Dame Evelyn Glennie: UK Disability History Month - Got 5 minutes?

Veni, Veni Emmanuel (James MacMillan, Evelyn Glennie) Written for Glennie, James MacMillan’s Veni, Veni Emmanuel made history with its world premier in 1992 as the first percussion concerto ever to be performed at the Proms. Based around the advent hymn of the same name, the piece launches percussion to centrestage, holding its own in both equilibrium with, and opposition to, the orchestra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/92295902-25e8-4126-b27c-dad33b43a570/my+spine.jpg Blog - Dame Evelyn Glennie: UK Disability History Month - My personal choice My Spine (Björk, Evelyn Glennie) There is something absolutely hypnotic about the rawness of Björk’s voice against the driving, skeletal sounds of Glennie playing tuned car exhaust pipes of her own design.

Who and what else am I? With every year I start to understand that the answer to this question is constantly shifting and fluctuating. If you had asked me when I was younger I would have answered, “I’m a violinist, I was born in London, I studied at this place bla bla bla”. Yeah, bit boring, especially considering that I was never particularly fond of institutions and considered them anti-educational, anti-art and bureaucratic (not to mention capitalist and corrupt?!). But that is a rant for another day… I suppose I just identified as those things because everyone else did the same thing: filled in their instagram biographies with ticks next to music school acronyms. Okay, so right now, today, who am I? I am Sofia, I am a proud (half) Ukrainian, a performer (usually through the means of violin), multi-lingual, current resident of Sweden. I enjoy writing opinionated mini-essays on things which irk me and then trying to find whose face I can shove them in (which explains how this little piece landed in TMDTA’s lap). I also love chamber music with all my heart very very much and think it possibly contains the answers to all the important questions in and about life (or if that sounds a bit much then at least admit that it’s got to hold the key to the composers’ innermost thoughts and emotional world). Anyway, I ought to wrap up before I whizz down an ADHD hyper-focus rabbit-hole and only resurface in 2025… But before I go, here’s one last thought from me: let’s re-popularise the viola da gamba! How can ANYONE in their right mind deny that it’s by far the sexiest instrument?! https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/why-are-most-female-classical-music-icons-thin monthly 0.5 2023-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1667081880491-BLWJREVD8E3OUS0EPXVE/unsplash-image-dvO0eRKkvJQ.jpg Blog - Why are most female classical music icons thin? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/a-rift monthly 0.5 2022-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/6d05dbe0-ec02-42f6-9dac-30580b646e90/H25C6683.jpg-2.jpg Blog - A rift - Make it stand out Photo by Olivia Da Costa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/fc2d328b-3529-41c9-a17a-eaea07e01bcf/IMG_1351.JPG Blog - A rift - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/03bb229e-a936-4b24-84fe-d5b159a0d3e9/35E9708F-0ADB-4BC5-B937-1C5540C3AC5F.jpg Blog - A rift - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/making-big-mistakes monthly 0.5 2022-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/a9135621-3837-4a24-86b5-9f0cf11e7dd0/hattieportrait.jpg Blog - Making big mistakes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/the-hare-and-the-tortoise-pacing-practice-with-a-chronic-illness monthly 0.5 2022-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1665609967319-ZR4IDCJW64XMNG537ASQ/unsplash-image-VLJutLyscKw.jpg Blog - The Hare and the Tortoise: pacing practice with a chronic illness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/e40b52bd-abf2-456e-b0d0-c63135f906f3/798px-The_Tortoise_and_the_Hare_-_Project_Gutenberg_etext_19993.jpeg Blog - The Hare and the Tortoise: pacing practice with a chronic illness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/c53af384-4d82-440f-9362-795cbd4bc468/headshot.jpg Blog - The Hare and the Tortoise: pacing practice with a chronic illness - Nicola Warner I am a cellist and conductor from Hertfordshire on an interruption of postgraduate studies due to poor physical health. Although The Hare and the Tortoise is about the time spent alone with my cello, no musician is an island and most things I do would not be possible without significant assistance from others (you know who you are).

I recently graduated in composition and piano from RCM London, with a particular focus on collaborating with singers. My degree went more and more off the rails: my piano teacher left without warning, then Covid struck. My stress, fatigue, and episodes of uncontrollable shaking led to a diagnosis of an eating disorder and other mental health issues. The experiences described in this article do not relate to the RCM, where my professors and head of faculty were very supportive. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/an-interview-with-valorie-kondos-field monthly 0.5 2022-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/740b63dc-354e-46f1-8cbd-5ab530144b2f/LEWIS_LAMag_Valorie_Kondos_Field_shot_F_0655_FINAL.jpeg Blog - An Interview with Valorie Kondos-Field - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/the-regal-ego-massage monthly 0.5 2023-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1663195848773-7NXZKRKZ4XHHQZT2GVI0/unsplash-image-MbzbYxspcGc.jpg Blog - The regal ego massage? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/why-this-summer-has-sucked-for-musicians-and-creatives monthly 0.5 2022-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1663085610248-WYU503QV1J8P162Z4CLY/unsplash-image-P6QJQfs-YxI.jpg Blog - Why this summer has sucked for musicians and creatives - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/80b2461a-8e7d-4339-910a-b9c88b9820c0/01+becky+pepper++copy.jpg Blog - Why this summer has sucked for musicians and creatives Becky Pepper Becky has always been fascinated with instrumental music, especially low brass, and she is passionate about sharing that with others.

I wanted to write for the blog in the hopes of encouraging musicians to keep being open with each other and enacting the change we want to see within our own lives and industry, by talking about things we find difficult and connecting in ways that aren’t often openly encouraged.” Holly is a versatile freelance bassoonist based in London. She has performed professionally with orchestras across the UK and frequently performs with her quintet, Festivo Winds, who recently became Live Music Now musicians. She previously studied on the RNCM and University of Manchester ‘Joint Course’ programme, and completed her Masters studies at the Royal College of Music. Alongside playing and teaching, Holly recently started curating her own interview series, ‘Personify’, talking to fellow musicians about their relationship to their instrument. https://hollyredshaw.com/personify/ https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/a-carefully-mapped-out-path-to-nothing monthly 0.5 2022-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1655242366628-RV5K6T9X5B570OH9JJW9/unsplash-image-pZ61ZA8QgcY.jpg Blog - A carefully mapped out path to nothing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/the-overall-standard-of-applications-for-this-vacancy-was-very-high- monthly 0.5 2022-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1646602715490-VCY8MW9XYF8KMKBQ0SH4/unsplash-image-45cr4wHWTIw.jpg Blog - The overall standard of applications for this vacancy was very high … - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/what-does-it-feel-like-to-perform-in-an-episode-of-mental-illness monthly 0.5 2022-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1648848320007-H3IDLEVD830UVXBVRF8R/unsplash-image-VEOk8qUl9DU.jpg Blog - What does it feel like to perform during an episode of mental illness?

I found it terrifying, fascinating and a really important read. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/0427a859-1042-4a58-8f88-c98e7753362d/bplaces.jpeg Blog - The most important books I’ve read - The Places That Scare You Pema Chödrön This book was recommended to me by a therapist when I was suffering from extreme anxiety. It helped me to find power in my experience and to see every day as an opportunity to grow and heal. It has been a book I’ve returned to multiple times, helping me to remain tuned in and aware of when anxiety is becoming a problem for me again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/d9a1d488-933d-44a5-9269-8b01d6a49248/bnewearth.jpeg Blog - The most important books I’ve read - A New Earth Eckhart Tolle I want to share this book because it was an extremely healing journey in reading it, though I may not fully support its content now. Tolle takes us through a journey of ego and the ways in which the ego alters our experience of the world. Elements of this book have really stayed with me, though I have suffered mental illness since and found its advice to be overly simplistic. It may add to people’s shame in taking medication for mental illness if taken out of context. Still, I owe a lot to this book and what it has taught me about myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/e1937bb8-cfd5-4edb-9322-a249e0ca7bcb/bimperfect.jpeg Blog - The most important books I’ve read - The Gifts of Imperfection Brene Brown Brene has been my soul sister for a good few years now and her TED talks helped me to realise that vulnerability is a worldwide experience. Even though my suffering was deep and current, I was not alone in it. This book helps to change you perception of yourself- a really amazing one for rethinking the more toxic elements of classical music. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/blog/2021-the-year-i-shifted-my-career-path-and-started-an-mba monthly 0.5 2022-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/550069fc-0e99-484b-a026-7953bffc785d/pexels-photo-2312369.jpeg Blog - 2021: The year I shifted my career path and started an MBA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/3beb6f5a-e91b-4156-b1d9-1c5ab88e5faf/DSCF3045+Final.jpeg Blog - 2021: The year I shifted my career path and started an MBA - About Francesca: My name is Francesca Leo and I’m a flutist, private teacher, performing arts health advocate, and MBA candidate.

Likes & Dislikes Hattie: I am not serious about all that much, but am definitely serious about ending the stigma of mental illness and lower income disadvantage within classical music. I love going on lonely walks, finding a new coffee shop, Labradors and violin sonatas. I have become more fussy about food with age, so to the long list of hated food goes tuna and mayonnaise. Further dislikes include gardening and the Central, Northern and Piccadilly lines. Rebecca: Yes: slightly wonky ceramic mugs, jasmine, tomato leaf, ramen, outdoor swimming & sauna, high-waisted jeans, train journeys, big Swiss lakes, the intention to send a postcard. No: mint, AI, diet culture, people not saying what really they mean, puddles (unless iced over), classical music seeing itself as an exception to the social contract. https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/podcast daily 0.75 2026-01-05 https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/support daily 0.75 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639509186524-JYLILRFDXN1E3Q9M72YU/ko-fi-logo.png Support Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639509465238-3U2WN3HE746GX0DPFYW5/unsplash-image-7LNatQYMzm4.jpg Support Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639509721880-FQPWLPPC5DI0C6VET6SK/unsplash-image-2FPjlAyMQTA.jpg Support Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639510979449-G5GPYYTOW7GY4P793UR3/0026724728_10.jpg Support Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1659135061961-RT3UQK8OR75L3Z211AB6/patreon.jpg Support Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/3cbaf0b3-c2f3-476d-8d4c-7e163b503e31/Copy+of+Brown+Modern+Illustrative+Fundraising+For+A+Cause+Event+Instagram+Post+%28A2+%28Landscape%29%29.png Support Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/40dfcd8a-8554-4f3c-88c1-95a0bab8e691/IMG_3143+copy.JPG Support Us https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-10-05 https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/resources daily 0.75 2024-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639516097132-O0OJHUQNR4L7H66XYV6U/unsplash-image-7ozuY3LFXtE.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639515439309-U6DKL87W0R7537P7LK2U/unsplash-image-L7JGC_bgWyU.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/d30a1bb3-db02-49f9-9c3f-b4a34737f7ea/unsplash-image-f6PNAO4Kn18.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639515316336-F95BWF7C218AW2I47BY1/unsplash-image-Vrztewqmi4Q.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639515779594-P1QJ7N014K4264FWLUM3/unsplash-image-3aGZ7a97qwA.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639516520114-DT5ID9MRQSP27VWSMXMO/unsplash-image-raZ1Ga6PLr4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1661720594617-SMNV7D150LLFFZ9IDXHX/unsplash-image-yHL7WxJFvI8.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639515575278-R02FL7PG2B5ZVBQMYN9H/unsplash-image-68y-oRxeY_Y.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1653248177485-M02XCPT020EVPSLSGBRI/unsplash-image-hgFY1mZY-Y0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1661203350334-P7VW5L110WWF8JA1RX74/unsplash-image--aIzs0PpVXY.jpg https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/eating-disorders daily 0.75 2024-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1646680828333-RKD5FNTIDRLKZGA82W4B/unsplash-image-VLVDokxeelg.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/ed6ad4ff-2974-4a61-8743-05a29ffc181c/68.+.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/7bd32c05-e04c-4b89-82e3-0c58857a29fa/628237297c134e00149b2f39.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/9b223a3a-3592-4859-82f9-07890125220e/Episode+51+Kate+Kennedy.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/a61802b6-cc88-4af8-95b8-bd0bd50d1281/Episode+41.+Rosie+Bennet.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/b0933040-28b5-4360-ba75-9583868a5e24/from+the+millers.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/8736ab04-f0bd-4394-a8b0-006d95b6d2a4/beat-beating-eating-disorders-cfvsf-member-logo-2.jpg Eating Disorders -

Your GP Is a good first port of call, but it they may not always be as helpful as you would like. Don’t give up if you don’t have the best experience through your GP practice. It is common for GP's to prescribe medication, even if you've only been suffering for a short amount of time. This is because they want to help, but have limited resources to offer. You are fully within your right to decline if you feel you'd like to try a psychological therapy first. Be prepared and tell them what you believe you are struggling with- they will often respect your experience and research and will be able to tailor advice accordingly. You will often be offered 6-8 sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety disorders on the NHS. This is a useful place to start for managing anxiety, though can only be a 'plaster', especially if your issues feel more chronic, severe or longer term. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639528548677-L4RAEXKYW4RWOBA2XCGW/unsplash-image-F9DFuJoS9EU.jpg Anxiety - Counselling/Psychotherapy Counselling differs from CBT, being integrative 'talking therapies' rather than focussing on immediate solutions. Anxiety can often be deeply woven with shame. With episodes of anxiety and panic, it can be important to feel somewhere you can share the truth of your anxieties with someone outside of your close family and friend circle whilst you ride the wave. There is a huge healing power in being listened to and many therapists will be happy to adjust their fees based on your financial situation. Counselling service at your university All UK conservatoires have a student counselling service, offering free short term talking therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/1639528413512-CBDHZLNXUWBO24J4B7BK/unsplash-image-WHSnkIwWpec.jpg Anxiety - Medication for anxiety If you find your anxiety is not resolving itself through self-help measures, it is essential that you seek further support and consider trying medication. Most commonly prescribed for anxiety disorders are anti-depressants called SSRI's. Beta-blockers are sometimes used to treat the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as a rapid heartbeat, palpitations and tremors (shaking). But they are not psychiatric drugs so they don't reduce any of the psychological symptoms. They may be helpful in certain situations that trigger your phobia. If you experience very severe anxiety that is having a significant impact on your day-to-day life, you may be offered a benzodiazepine tranquilliser. But these drugs can cause unpleasant side effects and can become addictive, so your doctor should only prescribe them at a low dose for a short time, to help you through a crisis period https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1599662372718-S23594AX95H5WC55TKK8/class_desk.jpg Anxiety - Anxiety UK therapy for people suffering with anxiety.

This is a great option if you want to be sure that your therapist is certified to work with anxiety sufferers and they may have good insight and experience into your personal situation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/4200ca6b-afe3-4959-8ae8-33d2b21f2116/MicrosoftTeams-image-35.png Anxiety https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/ef23d82f-0c8a-4f9f-a8f4-d1557fcf3cc0/rsm-275x127.jpg Anxiety https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/fddad05e-6b17-4d8e-877b-e0f12024f3eb/MS21-Homepage-651x481px-BlobBlue.png Anxiety https://www.thingsmusiciansdonttalkabout.com/depression daily 0.75 2024-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/fc5e7da4-80e9-4381-af3f-4b47e00eb6d3/mind-logo_VN4LRsKrMoiQoTJZ45ZusE.png Depression The national mental health charity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/e58ab00b-884b-48b6-9069-eea5831a7e20/mhf-logo_0.jpg Depression A UK charity that work to aid those who live with mental health and learning disabilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/92dde6a4-b7c9-4fd4-866d-5ccd685cbf9b/TTU_twitter4.2e16d0ba.fill-1190x790.width-728.jpg Depression Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to listen to anything that is upsetting you, including intrusive thoughts and difficult thoughts of suicide and self-harm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/74ce6176-0270-48ba-9637-eb205e62f219/Sane-Logo.jpg Depression Offers emotional support and information from 6pm–11pm, 365 days a year https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/773e5143-1276-4a9e-81b9-c3e27afb7e56/calm.jpeg.png Depression If you're a man experiencing distressing thoughts and feelings, the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is there to support you https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/d12ccd04-661b-4bd1-951b-7ac158becc54/Facebook-logo-for-blogger.png Depression If you are a student, you can look at the Nightline website to see if your university or college offers a night-time listening service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/9bcf9d9e-9771-416d-a5ed-f944782d6ce7/7FA7F43D-7F5B-4029-A72DD54F5FC8A462_carouselimage.jpg Depression If you live in Wales, you can contact the Community Advice and Listening Line (C.A.L.L.) for a confidential listening and support service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b883556685c538d1329803/ec5a126a-0984-480c-a7bc-9a8944227d5b/Switchboard.png Depression The LGBT+ helpline.
