Welcome to the Let’s Talk series of podcasts from the UoE, where we talk about life and all that it may throw at you at University, focussing on our mental health. I’m Harriet Harris, The University Chaplain, and each week I’m joined by students or staff of the University who come and talk about their experiences with mental health. When we’re struggling with our mental health Often we imagine that no one is feeling like we are. It’s such a relief to discover you are not alone , or weird or shameful for having mental health difficulties. We’re finding that it’s good to talk, and good to listen and good to be listened to. In this Series, We talk about anxiety, depression, loneliness, suicide, stress and burnout, grief and loss, perfectionism, fear of failure and imposter syndrome. Serious topics, with lots of space to grow our understanding,and with laughter along the way too. We talk about how these things feel, what helps, what doesn’t help, what we learn from the most difficult of experiences, and how we find and enjoy life again. We hope you will join us. I’ve loved having these conversations with our wonderful students and staff, who have been so open, thoughtful, reflective, everyone has given something personal, and we’ve learned a lot togethe
