Drills, Drama, and Milking Cows on a Digital Farm: My Mental Health Meltdown

Drills, Drama, and Milking Cows on a Digital Farm: My Mental Health Meltdown

Ever found yourself catastrophising over everything in your life, crying over a broken nail, and farming digital cows at 2am? Same.

In this week’s episode, Gemma gets brutally honest about a full-blown mental health wobble triggered by building work, social services delays, sleep deprivation, and one highly addictive mobile game that saw her milking digital cows at 2am.

From shaking on the sofa to finding solace in stand-up comedy and a ceramic heart that spells “hope,” this is a story about spotting the spiral before it swallows you.

Expect:
 • Unfiltered talk about the messy reality of mental health
 • Real-life tools for spotting when you’re spiralling
 • Lessons in self-trust, boundaries, and deleting the bloody games and things we're using to disassociate
 • Proof that laughter (and speaking honestly with family and friends) might just be the best therapy
