In this #impulsechats @jacob_hazell & I discuss mental health (including living with anxiety & depression), substance abuse, grief, the power of removing our own masks & the tools Jake finds helpful to reach for in tougher moments..Connect with Sarah Barnes @impulseyoga_ impulseyoga.com.About @jacob_hazell ::'I’m Jake, I work in fitness and in the mental health sector. My passion in life is helping other people who struggle with their mental health, feel more comfortable in talking about their issues, by simply talking about mine. In the past I’ve battled with alcohol and substance abuse, coping methods I used to hide or escape from my anxiety and depression.However I am on a journey now that was started by my late girlfriend @emilyhartridge ( founder of @brainbuddies ). A raw journey of honesty, real talk, and a no fucks attitude towards tackling what should no longer be a “taboo” subject. I have to live my life like this to survive without Emily. If we are able to help just one person, then we are succeeding.".
