Tom Simmons on Anxiety and Emotional Health
Don't Be A Man About It - Ein Podcast von Rahaf Raef Kobeissi

"I love the person I've become" Tom Simmons, a man who has suffered from debilitating anxiety for all of his life but it was only when he had a big wake-up call that he decided to take some serious action. Tom was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation at the age of 20 (a type of heart arrhythmia), and shortly after this diagnosis, he was dealt another huge health scare in the form of testicular cancer. As a consequence, these health blows massively hit Tom's confidence and what followed was intense emotional torment and a one-way trip that led to him hitting rock bottom. A very lonely, dark place that he has been trying to get himself out of ever since. In this episode, Tom aka "Fellas With Feelings" speaks openly about his journey with battling anxiety, the barriers for seeking help, and the steps that he has taken to help improve his mental and physical well-being (which have been anything but normal!), and generously answers my questions on men's vulnerability and emotional health. We both hope that with this episode, men would be more aware of the challenges that they could face with their mental health along with the different modalities that one can employ to help themselves in times of adversity that go against the status quo.
