On the latest episode of "You Alright Pal?", Chris looks back at his twenties, from living in London during the Brexit vote to volunteering in Calais, to experiencing stress, grief and flashbacks in the months and years afterwards.
We also talk about the impact of lockdown and unhealthy coping mechanisms, aswell as the importance of community and friendship in getting through challenging experiences, and the ups and downs of coming out.
