Welcome to the Balls Deep Podcast!
In this third episode I talk to writer, poet and mental health campaigner Seb Ward @porteous52
I wanted to hear about his experiences with mental health and his journey with BDD (body dysmorphic disorder) as well as his recent campaigns to raise money for CALM (campaign against living miserably). https://everpress.com/calm-fundraiser-boys-cry-too
Seb was kind enough to perform some of his spoken word poetry, entitled ‘Stand Down’ which is very relevant to the discussions around male mental health.
We also ended up talking about identity, moobs, masculinity, body image, poetry, suicide, depression and grief. A few very hefty subjects covered in this episode so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you feel affected by any of the topics discussed. I’d also recommend texting ‘SHOUT’ to 85258 or calling the CALM helpline (0800 58 58 58) if you are looking for confidential and professional support.
Let me know what you think via insta @balls.deep.pod - I’ll be using interactive stories to hear your thoughts on the topics that are up for discussion.
Share it, review it, tell your great aunt about it, all that usual podcasty stuff would be much appreciated. We are now on apple podcasts so send me those 5🌟 reviews bby
