I find that social media has had a hugely negative impact upon my mental health. I look at the pages of people I like/date, try to work out what things mean, where are they, who are they with. I wonder what it means when they "like" my photo which I have put up just to get their attention. If I was giving advice I would say this is incredibly unhealthy and TO STOP. But it is very hard.

He would constantly put my work down and pin creatives against one another. He did not see projects as collaborative. He also refused to see us as people on the same team, let alone playing field. He was so vocal and so aggressive, he forced himself onto all my projects. Eventually he kicked core team members off projects just so he could claim them for his own.

I often dream about being on a pitch and not being able to deliver, or not being chosen for a project because my work isn't good enough, so there has got to be some deeper levels of anxiety there that I'd prefer not to consciously acknowledge.

I think coming to terms with the fact that I was susceptible to mental health issues, and that my mind was quite fragile, took a long time. Nobody wants to believe that there is something ‘wrong’ with them, especially if it’s something that is so intangible as your outlook on reality.
