Mental Health During A Pandemic

<div>Today's podcast is dedicated to something that's affecting us all right now - mental health. We (Luce and Liv) love talking about mental health, and thought it was about time that we had a discussion about it on the pod.</div><div>We start off with a new segment - "Around the world in 5 headlines" where we update you on some of the news circulating this week, before launching into why you might be feeling so shit lately. Then, we have a candid discussion about how you responded to our mental health questions and how to handle things when life feels like it's turning to shit.</div><div>We hope you can find some solace in this episode and as always you can find us on instagram at <a href="@shityoushouldcareabout" target="_blank">@shityoushouldcareabout</a> or come hang out in our Facebook group "Shit You Should Care About Squad" here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2653704428049497" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/2653704428049497</a></div><div>As discussed in the episode I've also left a list of places that you can find help if you're suffering from domestic abuse or poor mental health below.</div><div>Need to Talk?
