This week on the Brit with a Cap podcast, my guest Tamta Gagoshidze-Davies and I talk a bit more candidly about our mental health. One thing people don't mention is how going abroad can affect your mental health, both positively and negatively. We discuss how we have dealt with the highs and lows of our year abroad and how the end result often can be incredibly positive. From identity crises to Instagram lies to the sense of achievement felt from overcoming any of these social pressures to whether Tamta is a snickers or a mars bar, we delve into our feelings on what has been a big, amazing, rollercoaster of a year. Please know that whatever you're doing that it's okay not to be okay and if you need to talk, feel free to email me at [email protected].
