Isn’t it funny how we just never know what’s going on in anyone else’s life. As you’ve just heard, Gavin, known for his positivity and energy on stage was fighting his own battle, offstage.
Gavin released his book ‘Life Will See You Now’ in February 2020 and dedicate a full chapter ‘Confidently Lost’ to his “old friend” Anxiety. He also then dedicated the next chapter ‘Unfk Yourself**’ to how he has learned to manage it.
What he didn’t expect was the hundreds of people who have been in touch from all over the world to share their own experiences with anxiety. Many of whom are from within the education community. Headteachers, classroom teachers, support staff and even the young people themselves.
We all have mental health and we’re reminded regularly that “it’s ok to not be ok” and that “It’s ok to talk about it”. But as many will know, it sure doesn’t feel like it…
