The Shit Show

Mental Health During A Pandemic

Today's podcast is dedicated to something that's affecting us all right now - mental health. We (Luce and Liv) love talking about mental health, and thought it was about time that we had a discussion about it on the pod.
We start off with a new segment - "Around the world in 5 headlines" where we update you on some of the news circulating this week, before launching into why you might be feeling so shit lately. Then, we have a candid discussion about how you responded to our mental health questions and how to handle things when life feels like it's turning to shit.
We hope you can find some solace in this episode and as always you can find us on instagram at @shityoushouldcareabout or come hang out in our Facebook group "Shit You Should Care About Squad" here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2653704428049497
As discussed in the episode I've also left a list of places that you can find help if you're suffering from domestic abuse or poor mental health below.
