**T/W STRONG REFERENCES TO BPD, SUICIDE, MENTAL HEALTH**
As most of you know I am a proud patron of Ian's Chain Charity and I take great pride in playing my part in helping people on their Mental Health journey.
As part of my Mental Health and Me Campaign I am honoured to be able to share Dan Baileys personal journey through his childhood all the way up to now, I would just like to take this moment to say how lucky we all are that he is still with us today.
It takes a lot of bravery to open up especially on a globally charting podcast but we hope that by sharing his story it may help other people, even if it's just letting people who have struggled on the same path, know that they aren't alone, think of this episode as an audio cuddle!
Dan offers some wonderful advice and I took this opportunity to thank him for all that he did a few years back with the #SmileAgainstTheStigmacampaign.
The#SmileAgainstTheStigmacampaign was formed by 'Smile Mental Health' which is an independent campaign, aimed at empowering people to disspell the stigma's surrounding mental ill-health, and to talk about these illnesses. The song focuses on 4 real-life stories of people battling with mental ill-health, as shared by people during 2015's #SmileAgainstTheStigma campaign. Remember a smile a day, keeps the psychologists away!

How often do we neglect our own mental health?
How often do we burn ourselves out trying to please others?
we spoke about the importance of looking after our mental health and his journey on how he has tried to banish the stigma surrounding mens mental health.
Some men still feel as if people expect them to hide their emotions and “man up,” or be strong for others. Having or acknowledging a mental health condition is still seen as a sign of weakness or lack of masculinity among some men.
It absolutely isn't a sign of weakness and EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET will experience mental health problems at some point in their lives.
Have a listen to our chat and I'm sure most of you can relate to this and just know two things,
1) YOU AREN'T ON YOUR OWN
2) IT IS OK NOT TO BE OK
We're all in this together so let's reach out and help each other!
