Had a fantastic time this morning talking to Sam Walker on BBC Radio Manchester, all about the new show at the Contact, Hi, Anxiety. We chatted about my mum, depression, breaking down, being a coper not a carer – all the things that seem to help other people hear about so they feel less alone or like these troubles are only a problem in their lives.

Sam asked her callers to get in touch if they wanted to contribute stories for the next new show – the Mental Health Monologues (I know, I need to work on the name!)

So, if you’ve got a story or would like to chat me to more then you can leave a comment for me below on email me on: debsgatenby@hotmail.com
