I always thought that one of the best (small) things to remember is something our very own Johnny JR has said a few times:

Your anxiety is lying to you.

It's not a 'cure-all' or anything, but it can help you get out of tricky moments sometimes.

I also get the newsletter from this website: https://www.ellenhendriksen.com/ which comes up with some very useful general tips about dealing with difficult situations and emotions.

Love and peace and nice things to all you PCDs

Has anyone listened to this week's podcast? I read the blurb about it, saw it was LS in for JR and immediately listened to something else

But I could have missed something good?

I haven’t for the same reason. As a completist, I will at some point though!

The opening exchange discussing a new addition to the James/Suttie household (animal not human) was quite funny between Elis, Lou and Dave; however the rest was kind of standard Lou fare. I’ll be honest, she doesn’t irritate me to the point I can’t listen but after genuine laugh out loud moments last week with Eevo/Eyevo, I did groan a bit at her being announced.

So went to see our boy John at his gig last night and, as expected, what a damn show! So raw, so honest and so bloody funny and he's right, he's looking fiiiiiiiiiine right now. Daaaamn.

No spoilers but a couple of one liners from the show have really stuck with me post show and, just, wow.

Separately, he did mention LS as a friend and I mentioned to my pal at the intermission "think they're shagging, how dare she" haha. Still sure about that!

I’m overwhelmed by how supportive you are, legends.
I recommend subscribing to anything the School of Life puts out - their advice is usually spot on. It’s mainly a newsletter and YouTube videos.

This Worry Audit video they really shared has helped me so much.


Try the Dear Sugars podcast too. It’s an Agony Aunt type thing, but they often have episodes focused on people who are dealing with Anxiety and Depression. Huberman Lab and Feel Better, Live More podcasts both have episodes that can be very helpful for people suffering with MH conditions.

This is a good episode for dealing with fear too

In the interest of billy balance, I have listened to it this morning, and I think LS is a lot more bearable when she has Elis as a foil. He's definitely the calming influence, which obvs works really well with John, and also Ivo/Evo, and now I'd say Lou too. I might be a bit of a convert! Well, probably not, but just thought I should say something a bit more positive

I started to listen and had to turn off after about 10 mins LS really irritates me

I’d say I 85% enjoyed the pod. I dont mind LS at all but the only bits that annoy me are when she talks for a bit too long like doing the ‘intro’ to the second hour she’d written and just laughs at her own not great jokes.
off the cuff she seems much better EG ‘I don’t retrieve it’ but she amuses herself So much when she writes. It’s not just her - anyone who does that annoys me. I also dont like when she / anyone says words in a bizarre pronunciation thinking it’s funny.

I totally agree with this. Laughing at your own jokes makes me cringe.

I did enjoy LS more with Elis than I do with John, but I think if she was less scatty I would enjoy listening to her more.

On the TM podcast they keep mentioning that's just "what she's like", but I don't really believe that anyone could have survived to adulthood if that's REALLY what they were like...

If it is, I simply cannot understand how Jon Richardson isn't entirely fuming with her literally every moment of the day.

Yes... I wonder how much of an act they are both putting on, tbh. They are both fairly extreme characters, and I imagine that in their at-home, non-working lives, the two of them are actually very normal

Double posting like a twat but I cannot contain my anger any longer. On a daily basis I see posts in the PCD group asking what time John’s tour show starts/ends. Fuck me. How do these people function on a daily basis?

Anyway John’s one year sobriety post was bloody lovely yesterday wasn’t it.
