Show Notes

It's not just my mental health that's in a state - my physical health needs some attention. Now, as anyone with a mental illness will tell you, exercise isn't a fix for a disorder or condition, and it's insulting to say it is. I need CBT, not cardio. Actually, scratch that... maybe I need both?

I keep hearing about Running Punks, and the work of Jimmy Watkins. Former Future Of The Left guitarist (and I really liked that band for a time), former GB athlete, and all round good guy. I'm intrigued and inspired; both by their mission, and Jimmy's story.

That's what this bonus episode of The OCD Chronicles is about. If you enjoy this episode, please do Rate, Review and Subscribe. It's a huge help!
