“I’m anti social, I’m prickly, but I love people” that’s exactly me. Wow. He’s right, it feels good to know you’re not alone and not as weird as you think.
You’re alright Joe it’s taken me till 40 to come to form some form of acceptance. Spent years bitching about been dealt a bad hand now I’m just working on how to play the cards I’ve been dealt. Thanks for been you 🤛
Joe Gilgun is my favourite actor, not only do I love his work but he's also spoken candidly about mental health issues in ways that I have really identified with. I wish I knew him, he seems like such a stand up guy. Plus he swears as much as I do 😂 This is a great interview. 🖤
I completely agree. He is one Of if not my favourite actor, not only that it’s the person he is that makes him so incredible. His bravery to speak so openly About his personal struggles, which for Most men of that Age is so hard to do, makes him so important, Cos he will inspire other men to be More open. He’s so normal and such a down to earth run of The Mill, British lad who’s showing others that mental health isn’t a stigma!!! He’s lovely & incredibly talented. He talks about his childhood and it’s so relatable to so many working class families and he’s such a good role model for young ppl today. Bloody love him
I spoke to Joe yesterday in Manchester I was stood with my little boy I turned round and said "Alreet woody" and he was like "Watch your little boy doesn't trip over his reins on his backpack there lad" Nice one Woody ❤️
His brutal honesty is so endearing and him talking about this is just what the male population needs. These young lads need to be exposed to male role models who struggle with their emotional health and can still go on to be successful and lead fulfilling lives. And Joe is looking mighty fine for 37!
I’ve admired him since This is England came out and for over a decade, I’ll watch anything he’s in. I’d absolutely love to just talk to him all day and all night long. He’s an utterly fascinating person. Seth Rogan said he was the most interesting person he’d ever met.
I got diagnosed with ADHD now, at 37. I've been living with my thoughts pinballing in my brain for nearly 4 decades, moods swinging like crazy, absurd impulsive decisions (i'm covered in tatts, and one REALLY SUCKS but it was the spur of the moment, heh) and abrasive anger, and self destructive attitude that i don't even perceive as such, literal panic everytime the phone rings 'cause I don't know what the person on the other side was, or could want (i still ask everyone to message me instead of calling) and it scares me. I forgot 17 whole months of my life cause i had a huge breakdown and can't remember a single thing, only that i'm still scared of my couch 'cause I know i spent most of my time vegetating there (just imagine a 37 YO scared of a damn couch). I'm the "smart kid that doesn't apply to her studies", like many kids are, and I still have to learn on my own a fuc*load of things like what a BPD reaction is , or why the heck I spent last morning crying my eyes out while asking myself why the heck I was crying my eyes out. We need information, we need actual diagnosis and we need to understand that getting through daily life with a brain that's constantly trying to sabotage you is a fucking nightmare, so we're not weak at all, and maybe we're not that broken either, it's just that what surrounds us is often too...rigid? Is this the right word? Not adaptable? I don't know. And now i gotta feed the cat or that gremlin's gonna eat me for dinner, also sorry for any mistake but English ain't my first language.
you just made me realise that it isn't actually normal or perhaps necessary to feel panic when my phone rings. As you say, a lot to learn... thank you!
Speaking as somebody with BPD who has a mum with BPD and also a sister with BPD for years I've been searching to find somebody who would understand me I gave up hope and then boom JOE GILGUN!!!! If I had a way to say thank you to you I would. I've always wanted to be an actor but thought there's no way as I can be so anti social but after watching you I've actually enrolled in uni.....all thanks to you. You're a very remarkable human being thank you so much for being so vulnerable and honest x
Same here bpd and tupe 2 borderline .and a callanging life 2 special needs sons .we still here fighting tje good fight u are brave and and a warrior. ❤
I love watching interviews with Joe. He is SO charismatic, so relatable and so vulnerable in the candid way he always speaks to people. I could listen to him talk for hours. I do think it's admirable how humble he is and how proud he is of his roots, but I think it's such a shame that he doesn't recognise how talented and unironically intelligent he actually is. He's better at expressing himself than he realises. It's rare to see an actor be so frank about their mental health, and struggling with ADHD, BPD, depression and anxiety myself it's so important to have people vocalise those struggles and be able to incorporate them into their work. As debilitating as those things are they don't need to prevent you from pursuing your dreams, even if you have to navigate them a bit differently from others. He clearly understands how difficult it can be to regulate your emotions and see value in yourself without self destructing and it just makes him such a sincere person. He is such a delight and exactly the kind of guy you'd love to just go for a pint with and put the world to rights, because he has so much to say. And you would just be crying laughing. Thank you for discussing so many crucial topics and sharing this with us!
Joe Gilgun really explain BPD well. I suffer from it. You never feel like a whole person or a person worthy of love. We seem so eccentric and fun but theres a gory battle happening in our head. Thanks Joe. Good job repin the BPD folk.
My goodness, this film has been wonderful, I love brassic, especially Joe's character. I'm dyslexic, autistic, and most likely adhd, I feel like he's a kindered spirit, part of my tribe xxx
So many kids who mess about at school are neuro diverse. I've met many kids labelled disruptive who actually have adhd or autism. One kid couldn't read or write but when I asked him to tell me a story he had the most amazing imagination.
Joe you gave me the inspiration to accept and get a diagnosis. I was diagnosed with BPD just before I was 50. Having that answer as to why I am, and how I react to situations has been invaluable. I truly believe you saved my life. You are an amazing man and should always ALWAYS be proud of that. THANK YOU XXXX
I’m diagnosed with bipolar disorder and when I am at my lowest point I come to this video and try to relate to someone going through the same thing it’s so hard to understand that you’re not on your own and this video helps me beyond belief if it wasn’t for Joe and this video I quite possibly wouldn’t be here
thank you joe for speaking about it,,im 68 now and ive been like it since a little girl,,some days its so hard ,then others abit better .i always say i would love to feel normal,,,but what is normal x
Fuck, I’ve never empathized so much with an internet stranger. Joe, my dude, I feel a lot of what you say, especially the part about feeling like lots of work for other people. Thank you for using your platform to talk about mental health and promoting emotional intelligence. I’ve seen your work, and you’re talented as fuck. I wish you nothing but the best. Also thank you Edith for this interview, this channel, and the organization. I’m not in the UK, but your work is so important. Keep it up and take care.
Joe gilgun is with out a doubt the most honest brilliant man to ever walk this planet! I home school my girls and mental health is something we learn daily. So my children grow to have empathy!
I hope you find some compassion for yourself in moments when you struggled to find the courage to go up to him - going up to any stranger can be difficult, we’re all human and sometimes it’s hard to say hello to someone new. Hopefully watching this video humanises him a little bit, he’s a really lovely guy and I’m sure would be grateful for the ‘hello’ - cheers for being so open, and I’m thankful for the comment ☀️
Joe ❤ I could talk to you for hours. We’d do each other’s heads in 😂 You have explained everything I feel and have felt to a T. And I single parent fulltime… it is HARD with this crazy head of mine. Loving your work ❤
Right there with you on that one. I hope Joe realises just how many people's lives he improves just by existing. I am also stupidly in love with this dude, I wish the best for him in a way I don't feel with other people in the public eye. Gem of a person for sure!
Thank you both xx If just one of us watches this a feels like we're not the only ones who's day to day can be a bit of an unpredictable fuckin minefield but it's OK I'm so glad he's so open about the reality of mental health issues. I lost 2 male family members to suicide last year and its not talked about enough 💙💜💙💜
Incredible interview. I love Joe, he is defo one of my fav actors for just how real he seems. Tell him if you ever see him again he has brought laughter, tears and warmth to me so I assume the world feels the same. Known you since you were a kid Edith and its incredible what a wonderful woman you have grown into. Much love to you and your family x
The more I listen and see Joe, the more I understand that I want to be close to him, love and support him! But I don’t understand at all how to find it......
I 100% agree that schools should be doing more emotional education, I know it would of massively benefited me, especially with everything like hormones, making friends etc going on
Been struggling of late n just happened to give Brassic a do on Netflix which has reignited my Joseph Gilgun hetero lad crush, being a fellow mid 30s Lancashire divvy depressive who grew up round reprobates n lushes in an orrible skint mill town I feel a lot in common with him. He’s a good en n this was very charmin. hopefully I pass my piss test tomo. Ta
Well done for speaking out about your mental health Joe. I think you should go into schools and talk to the kids about mental health and how to find a way to deal with it. P.S ya a brill and an Amazing actor and person and I love Brassic I would love to sit and have a convo with ya cause ya so funny keep up the good work🥰😘
Wow😮 Joe, I share your BPD and ADHD. Suffered for years and diagnosed at 52. You describe your experience of life and others exactly as I see it. I’ve been a mental health professional but I’d feel it would be impactful to show my kids this video and then chat about it. Thank you 🙏 and yes it’s a fight
Can I just say a massive, massive thank you to Joe for this! Especially the part where he actually acknowledges people that take care of people with mental health! 👏 Round of a f-ing applause! It's soooo hard. And he is the only one I've heard acknowledge it. So thank you!
Thank you both! It’s so refreshing to hear mental health be spoken about so raw and unapologetic Also dyslexia. Being dyslexic is a shit but I’ve leaned to “ride that wave” thanks jo🤣 and make it work for me. Let’s get talking kids! Seriously it’s really dose help ❤️
Trying to fix a part of me that might not be broke is one of the most powerful things I’ve heard anyone say. Fair play to this channel and to Joe. Wish more men would Speak like he can. When I first heard about him being open about his situation I was empowered to be open about mine own. Now I’m mental health first aider at my work and Proud to be so
I rewatch this about once a month. Almost as a coping mechanism, Joe has such a calming effect on me. I find so many similarities with my mental health. This interview just makes me feel at ease so thank you ☮️💙
I’m so grateful to hear this works as a resource in your toolbox for self-regulation, that is my aim and it makes me happy that you’re able to calm yourself through this video. Big love and thanks for the comment🧡
Joe is an amazing actor and person love watching him in what ever he stars in I hope they keep brassic going for many more year's to come I would love to have a part in it much love brother ❤️
jesus this guys my doppelganger mentally i'm 33 and i still don't know wtf is going on but they are right half the time ur just imploding (fighting urself or emotions u don't understand or can't pinpoint) the other half is not knowing how to get help where to start and spin out..it seems like a sensory over load when u get that sinking feeling in a new situation then it snowballs like he said its brutal LOVE this guy for all the great work he has done hell i even liked him in lockdown always drinking that milk haha seems like he really care big heart
This is such a great interview, i love his honesty and just being himself. I dont know how it came up in my feed but am glad it did. Good to see someone thats famous and been successful talking about mental health issues like this. He is great
I’m from the south in North America , no one where I live knows who he is but he’s my favorite actor and person in general 💗 I love how open he his about mental health and as someone who also struggles with learning disabilities and adhd he’s very relatable for me. Great interview!!
Ooooo just got to the tattoos in the head segment, and it is very relatable, I've had tattoos to relieve urges to self harm before, too. Bless you joe xxx
Joe gilgun you are the younger me pretty much. I have BPD and dyslexia I’m almost 50. I struggled all my life. I don’t like to be around people I like to be on my own most of the time.
Have loved Joe in Preacher and Misfits - have just bought Brassic box set after a recommendation. I found this after searching for Brassic clips - I had no knowledge of Joe as a person until seeing this. Lovely man x
So thankful to Joe & Edith for this interview. I've been fucking with depression for a few years now, those are the words that all of us needed. I've never related to anyone more than to Joe. Wholeheartedly admire all the honesty and simple truth from this lad. I wish in our world nowadays would be more people like him, more kindness, more love❤ I wanna hug everyone, who's struggling here. We're not alone, guys. Sending love to y'all from Russia❤
As someone who’s had mental health struggles. I always appreciate when actors or people in the public eye come forward with their stories , it’s always comforting to know so many people struggle from different walks of life , careers. Etc. I have ADHD and OCD. And some mild depressive episodes. Also social anxiety. So it’s helpful to hear about other people’s journey and learning how to love yourself and understand that not everyone is going to accept it or want to be around it and just be okay with that. Love ,from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 Trying to figure out where his accent is from in England. My grandfather and granny were from Loftus Yorkshire, my other gramps was from Suffolk.
Appreciate when a person with celebrity discusses one own mental health it help other to self assess. God bless the guy appreciate his talent and I am a huge fan of brassic... Much love from this side of the pond .... 🙏🏼✌🏼😎🗽
Seems so down to earth. Would love to sit and have a chat with Joe. On my level really. I feel him when he says he'd like to be the out there guy and go out..I feel ya there mate.
Honestly, Joe is the best actor/ person that I really ( understand in my mind ) but not most people minds. I’m a very kind person but never been able 2 get what I want 2 get out actually get out. I will do anything 4 anyone more than myself. Anyway joe makes me feel better. 👍
He’s just so authentic and cool. I feel really strongly about taking some courses in psychology and becoming a peer support specialist, and Joe is really inspirational. It’s like he’s the male version of me! The last question she asks is what he thinks he brings to the world. My answer is he’s my quasar. 💕✨
I'm currently on a Emotion regulation pathway for BPD and it's amazing.If it's available in your area I highly recommend seeing if you can get a referral.Love to you Joe x
This was so good, thanks for making it happen ❤ Sometimes I feel like getting help, but then I find so much more comfort in the words of genuine people. I tried getting help for my head a few times over my life but nothing in the system seems to work, the most recent during Covid was great. I had a few phone calls with a therapist and his advice was to talk to a an imaginary parrot on my shoulder about my problems. Madness really, made me so mad haha Anyway we ride the ups and downs, and take each day as it comes. The world is full of kind people, you just have to show them you are too ❤
Love Joe Gilgun, great interview. I did that same exercise as you during Scottish First Aid For Mental Health training with a hearing voices network charity and it was truly unnerving, really gives you an insight into how much of a mind f**k it must be to hear voices whilst going about your day to day life. So hard to concentrate. The girl who was sat in front of me made it worse as when I put my hand to my ear when the guy was twittering things to me and said “ohmygod” she gave me a weird look and went “what are you doing?” - awful experience even though it wasn’t real, great way to educate about it though!!
Thanks for the comment! Appreciate the response and yes, the activity was really eye opening to how some people may experience daily life - cheers for the response 🐝
YES! Don’t give a list! That made me worse. I’ve actually thought my purpose in life, is about trying to help people like me. But where I live it’s hard.
The best interview I have ever seen!! It was so calming and educational by the way. Love the way you two talked about very important things in our lives like mental health, emotions, love and kindness and people who struggles with different disorders. There are so crucial topics for all of us. Jo is the best actor for me and he brings a lot to this world at least make people laugh and his creativity to make such TV series like Brassic! And I also like the interviewer, the style and very soothing voice 🥰
Amazing interview , well done to the lady too , please tell Joe that brassic has had a profound affect on me, it's so deep, it makes more sense now I've heard your interview with him, I feel that he's too down on himself and he is truly a gift to us all xxx
This was so great to watch. I loved this conversation and hearing the perspectives on mental health from people experiencing the difficulties of it and people having to witness the struggle as well. It's so good. Thanks for putting this out!
Woo so thought he was so relatable. And now I know why .total respect talking bout metal health .excellant colourful charterer. Heart of gold humble .❤
This hits home so hard for me. I have bipolar and BPD it's been a constant struggle especially bc I'm a mom of 3 daughters. Unfortunately I wasn't diagnosed until mid - late 20s after my kids. And when my youngest was 11yrs old she tried to commit suicide. I knew she was depressed she was seeing a doctor and they couldn't tell it was coming and either did I. She's almost 17 now and doing great sadly they think she has bipolar and it breaks my heart that I did that to her
“I’m anti social, I’m prickly, but I love people” that’s exactly me. Wow. He’s right, it feels good to know you’re not alone and not as weird as you think.
Same. 😅
Love this guy, just finished Brassic best thing iv'e ever watched.
You’re alright Joe it’s taken me till 40 to come to form some form of acceptance.
Spent years bitching about been dealt a bad hand now I’m just working on how to play the cards I’ve been dealt.
Thanks for been you 🤛

I completely agree. He is one
Of if not my favourite actor, not only that it’s the person he is that makes him so incredible. His bravery to speak so openly
About his personal struggles, which for
Most men of that
Age is so hard to do, makes him so important, Cos he will inspire other men to be
More open. He’s so normal and such a down to earth run of
The
Mill, British lad who’s showing others that mental health isn’t a stigma!!!
He’s lovely & incredibly talented. He talks about his childhood and it’s so relatable to so many working class families and he’s such a good role model for young ppl today. Bloody love him
The vest I've seen x
I spoke to Joe yesterday in Manchester I was stood with my little boy I turned round and said "Alreet woody" and he was like "Watch your little boy doesn't trip over his reins on his backpack there lad" Nice one Woody ❤️
His brutal honesty is so endearing and him talking about this is just what the male population needs. These young lads need to be exposed to male role models who struggle with their emotional health and can still go on to be successful and lead fulfilling lives.
And Joe is looking mighty fine for 37!
All very true - cheers for the support💜
👍inspirational joe could save a lot of pain
I’ve admired him since This is England came out and for over a decade, I’ll watch anything he’s in. I’d absolutely love to just talk to him all day and all night long. He’s an utterly fascinating person. Seth Rogan said he was the most interesting person he’d ever met.
Wow, same age as him and I feel the same way... Never heard someone who have the same way of thinkinh, or livin than myself before
check out the podcasts he's in, I found them quite life changing in that way
I got diagnosed with ADHD now, at 37. I've been living with my thoughts pinballing in my brain for nearly 4 decades, moods swinging like crazy, absurd impulsive decisions (i'm covered in tatts, and one REALLY SUCKS but it was the spur of the moment, heh) and abrasive anger, and self destructive attitude that i don't even perceive as such, literal panic everytime the phone rings 'cause I don't know what the person on the other side was, or could want (i still ask everyone to message me instead of calling) and it scares me.

I could listen to him for days .
He’s absolutely correct when he says each day always depends on how the mind is. Sometimes I’m good sometimes not so good. Each day is an experience.

Lots of wise words in this interview.

Feel you, Joe. I am an actress and I am multiple, autistic and bipolar too.
Feel you 100%
Guy was simply sublime in Lockout (2012) and The Infiltrator (2016), among other stellar performances
it does help Joe, be sure of that. A wonderful human indeed.
I feel this alot. I have autism and ptsd. Love this is england and love woody.
I can't even begin to describe how much I relate to Joe. Id love to meet this fella and just have a pint or something. Top bloke.
God, I LOVE this man! He’s just the most incredible and intelligent person I’ve ever seen in my life!💞👼🏻
What a lovely human

Thank you both, so very much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Flawed but kind hearted and honest the next generation should listen to joe
Well done for speaking out about your mental health Joe. I think you should go into schools and talk to the kids about mental health and how to find a way to deal with it. P.S ya a brill and an Amazing actor and person and I love Brassic I would love to sit and have a convo with ya cause ya so funny keep up the good work🥰😘
'Your fucking hard work' struck a cord. That's how I feel with my over active mind every day.
Love him in preacher
Absolutely love Joe gilgun and his honesty. Wish there were more humans in the World like this..... ❤
Wow😮 Joe, I share your BPD and ADHD. Suffered for years and diagnosed at 52. You describe your experience of life and others exactly as I see it. I’ve been a mental health professional but I’d feel it would be impactful to show my kids this video and then chat about it. Thank you 🙏 and yes it’s a fight
Can I just say a massive, massive thank you to Joe for this! Especially the part where he actually acknowledges people that take care of people with mental health! 👏
Round of a f-ing applause!
It's soooo hard. And he is the only one I've heard acknowledge it. So thank you!
Thank you both! It’s so refreshing to hear mental health be spoken about so raw and unapologetic Also dyslexia. Being dyslexic is a shit but I’ve leaned to “ride that wave” thanks jo🤣 and make it work for me. Let’s get talking kids! Seriously it’s really dose help ❤️
Trying to fix a part of me that might not be broke is one of the most powerful things I’ve heard anyone say. Fair play to this channel and to Joe. Wish more men would Speak like he can. When I first heard about him being open about his situation I was empowered to be open about mine own. Now I’m mental health first aider at my work and Proud to be so
Cheers Edward, I appriciate that and I’m glad you enjoyed!
That was an excellent watch x
I rewatch this about once a month. Almost as a coping mechanism, Joe has such a calming effect on me. I find so many similarities with my mental health. This interview just makes me feel at ease so thank you ☮️💙
I’m so grateful to hear this works as a resource in your toolbox for self-regulation, that is my aim and it makes me happy that you’re able to calm yourself through this video. Big love and thanks for the comment🧡
Joe is an amazing actor and person love watching him in what ever he stars in I hope they keep brassic going for many more year's to come I would love to have a part in it much love brother ❤️
Absolutely loved this
jesus this guys my doppelganger mentally i'm 33 and i still don't know wtf is going on but they are right half the time ur just imploding (fighting urself or emotions u don't understand or can't pinpoint) the other half is not knowing how to get help where to start and spin out..it seems like a sensory over load when u get that sinking feeling in a new situation then it snowballs like he said its brutal LOVE this guy for all the great work he has done hell i even liked him in lockdown always drinking that milk haha seems like he really care big heart
This is such a great interview, i love his honesty and just being himself. I dont know how it came up in my feed but am glad it did. Good to see someone thats famous and been successful talking about mental health issues like this. He is great
I’m from the south in North America , no one where I live knows who he is but he’s my favorite actor and person in general 💗 I love how open he his about mental health and as someone who also struggles with learning disabilities and adhd he’s very relatable for me. Great interview!!
Appreciate the comment - 🧡 from England
Ooooo just got to the tattoos in the head segment, and it is very relatable, I've had tattoos to relieve urges to self harm before, too. Bless you joe xxx
literally love him so much
I absolutely love Joe. He's such a genuine bloke
He's so real 🥰
Listened to every word - I just luv Joe, he’s honest and open. Great insight, thank you ❤
Joe gilgun you are the younger me pretty much. I have BPD and dyslexia I’m almost 50. I struggled all my life. I don’t like to be around people I like to be on my own most of the time.
Have loved Joe in Preacher and Misfits - have just bought Brassic box set after a recommendation. I found this after searching for Brassic clips - I had no knowledge of Joe as a person until seeing this. Lovely man x
Great video 👍🏻❤️
So thankful to Joe & Edith for this interview. I've been fucking with depression for a few years now, those are the words that all of us needed. I've never related to anyone more than to Joe. Wholeheartedly admire all the honesty and simple truth from this lad. I wish in our world nowadays would be more people like him, more kindness, more love❤
I wanna hug everyone, who's struggling here. We're not alone, guys. Sending love to y'all from Russia❤
As someone who’s had mental health struggles. I always appreciate when actors or people in the public eye come forward with their stories , it’s always comforting to know so many people struggle from different walks of life , careers. Etc. I have ADHD and OCD. And some mild depressive episodes. Also social anxiety. So it’s helpful to hear about other people’s journey and learning how to love yourself and understand that not everyone is going to accept it or want to be around it and just be okay with that. Love ,from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Trying to figure out where his accent is from in England. My grandfather and granny were from Loftus Yorkshire, my other gramps was from Suffolk.
Thanks for being so open about your own journey and supporting this video, I really appreciate it - I believe he was born in Lancashire💜
You can’t help but like this guy
Appreciate when a person with celebrity discusses one own mental health it help other to self assess. God bless the guy appreciate his talent and I am a huge fan of brassic... Much love from this side of the pond .... 🙏🏼✌🏼😎🗽
Absolutely love this interview, he is so real, candid, authentic and genuine.
Seems so down to earth. Would love to sit and have a chat with Joe. On my level really. I feel him when he says he'd like to be the out there guy and go out..I feel ya there mate.
Joe you are such an honest inspiration, you are unique and that makes you someone we should all cherish and admire x
Love it...thanks for this Interview 😊 It's all about love & kindness ❤
Absolute legend!! Top actor and genuine person
Honestly, Joe is the best actor/ person that I really ( understand in my mind ) but not most people minds. I’m a very kind person but never been able 2 get what I want 2 get out actually get out. I will do anything 4 anyone more than myself. Anyway joe makes me feel better. 👍
Joe is the best. Really enjoyed this interview. Great work guys. Thank you 🙏🏽
Love Joe, I have bipolar 2 and bpd and it's so good to have someone talking about it x
He’s just so authentic and cool. I feel really strongly about taking some courses in psychology and becoming a peer support specialist, and Joe is really inspirational. It’s like he’s the male version of me! The last question she asks is what he thinks he brings to the world. My answer is he’s my quasar. 💕✨
I'm currently on a Emotion regulation pathway for BPD and it's amazing.If it's available in your area I highly recommend seeing if you can get a referral.Love to you Joe x
This was so good, thanks for making it happen ❤
Sometimes I feel like getting help, but then I find so much more comfort in the words of genuine people.
I tried getting help for my head a few times over my life but nothing in the system seems to work, the most recent during Covid was great. I had a few phone calls with a therapist and his advice was to talk to a an imaginary parrot on my shoulder about my problems. Madness really, made me so mad haha
Anyway we ride the ups and downs, and take each day as it comes. The world is full of kind people, you just have to show them you are too ❤
Love Joe Gilgun, great interview. I did that same exercise as you during Scottish First Aid For Mental Health training with a hearing voices network charity and it was truly unnerving, really gives you an insight into how much of a mind f**k it must be to hear voices whilst going about your day to day life. So hard to concentrate. The girl who was sat in front of me made it worse as when I put my hand to my ear when the guy was twittering things to me and said “ohmygod” she gave me a weird look and went “what are you doing?” - awful experience even though it wasn’t real, great way to educate about it though!!
Thanks for the comment! Appreciate the response and yes, the activity was really eye opening to how some people may experience daily life - cheers for the response 🐝
YES! Don’t give a list! That made me worse. I’ve actually thought my purpose in life, is about trying to help people like me. But where I live it’s hard.
Joe is the best.🤟 I have the same f*kin diagnosis and sometimes it’s hard AF. Thank you for this video🙏☺️🤟🤟🤟
The best interview I have ever seen!! It was so calming and educational by the way. Love the way you two talked about very important things in our lives like mental health, emotions, love and kindness and people who struggles with different disorders. There are so crucial topics for all of us. Jo is the best actor for me and he brings a lot to this world at least make people laugh and his creativity to make such TV series like Brassic! And I also like the interviewer, the style and very soothing voice 🥰
Aw mate what a sweet comment - Thankyou, cheers for the support and have a lovely day☀️🧡
Amazing interview , well done to the lady too , please tell Joe that brassic has had a profound affect on me, it's so deep, it makes more sense now I've heard your interview with him, I feel that he's too down on himself and he is truly a gift to us all xxx
he is one of my favorite actors, but now I like this guy even more, as a person.
Omg how have i not seen this till now ❤️joe
This is one of my favourite interviews ever. I love Joe Gilgun he is by far one of the best actors of our generation and an all round good bloke
Ah glad you liked it 😊
This was so great to watch. I loved this conversation and hearing the perspectives on mental health from people experiencing the difficulties of it and people having to witness the struggle as well. It's so good. Thanks for putting this out!
Thankyou! (:
Absolutely love Joe hes such a nice lad 💓
Woo so thought he was so relatable. And now I know why .total respect talking bout metal health .excellant colourful charterer. Heart of gold humble .❤
This hits home so hard for me. I have bipolar and BPD it's been a constant struggle especially bc I'm a mom of 3 daughters. Unfortunately I wasn't diagnosed until mid - late 20s after my kids. And when my youngest was 11yrs old she tried to commit suicide. I knew she was depressed she was seeing a doctor and they couldn't tell it was coming and either did I. She's almost 17 now and doing great sadly they think she has bipolar and it breaks my heart that I did that to her
