I'm 54 years old, I've had a very privileged life (white, male, straight, British, middle class, great beard) yet I still get panic attacks, like I just did.

They started when I was separating from my ex-wife, which was a period of emotional pain, low self esteem, abusing alcohol and economic hardship. They take the form of hyper exhausting, overwhelming deja vu. But now it's a couple of times a year, if I'm stressed, rather than a month. #ItGetsBetter #YoureNotAlone

Dear Youngs, it used to be so much fun. You deserve that too.

Hang in there. #music #90s #itgetsbetter

It is becoming increasingly harder to imagine that things will get better.

If you’re struggling with this as well, let me be the one to try to give you a glimpse of hope: things WILL get better. I’m not saying this just out of optimism or delusion, I’m saying this with relative certainty, because we’ve been here before!
