Mental Health pt1.

First of all, thank you so much to Phil, our guest, who re- consented to allow this episode to be broadcast. This show has been syndicated but is was recorded for the Thirsty Bitch Podcast in 2021 - If you are listening from another podcast you can find Thirsty Bitch Podcast Here or search Thirsty Bitch Podcast from where ever you get your Podcasts. For legal, personal, and to be sensitive and protective to the guest and others mentioned within the podcast, this episode has been heavily edited from the original. As you maybe aware, its been many months since the last Thirsty Bitch Podcast. The one you are about to listen to was shelved. We thought it was inappropriate to bring you the episode, mainly due to the fact that our guest was in a very troubled place at the time and also felt it to be morally wrong in the moment. There was no happy ending in sight for our guest, at the time of recording, and felt it would feel exploitative for 'entertainment purpose' and possibly be more detrimental to Phil. It's been two years since the episode was recorded and only now, seeing the changes with our Guest, did I, Keyth David @keythdavid, think the story should be told. In a climate of increasing mental health issues, depression and personal desperations, it's very easy to isolate yourself and end up in a worse place. If you are going through something right now, I really hope this will help you reach out or take some kind of comfort in the fact that you are not alone. Whether this is Grief, PTSD, Depression or been apart of the Chemsex world then I have included a list of places that you can find help. This could be via phone, email, webchat or SMS.

Paid Sponsorship by Impulse London.  Impulse London is a non-profit organisation designed to engage, support and connect gay men globally. This year we’ve turned out focus to sexual consent within the community.  How do we prevent sexual violence? How do we improve consensual behaviour? How do we stop the number of victims/survivors increasing? It begins with us talking. Talking about any and all outdated, preconceived notions society has imbedded in us. Dismantling entitlement. Instilling self-control, accountability and above all, awareness. We can always be there to support victims/survivors of sexual violence. But nothing is more powerful than prevention.
