In this episode, Howard Martin talks about how burnout crept up on him and took him into a state of crisis with his mental health, following the death of his Mum.
He explains how he hid the extent of his difficulties from loved ones, looked for ways to make himself busier to distract himself from the thoughts going through his head, and how it felt when he hit rock bottom.
He shares the recovery journey he's been on, what he's learned, and how he's mamaging his mental fitness differently because of it.
