1. “The I would psychologically throw up when there was nothing biologically wrong with me. That's really awkward to admit to yourself. It's also far more terrifying to admit it publicly once you've uncovered it. And it kind of made me reflect on the fact that sometimes these things are actually just so painfully embarrassing about your personal life that you can even bury it to yourself.”

2. “You know, being able to label like the time I got depression, the time I got anxiety, the time I got insomnia, the time I was burnt out, I remembered those moments. This one, I'd actually buried as a story, right? In my head, I'd never expressed it in my whole life to anyone publicly at all, full stop. And it was a couple of months ago, and I wrote a newsletter on mental health and nutrition.

And suddenly, like I was unpacking what had happened in my 20s. I actually had bulimia. I used to throw up for like four to five years, not intentionally though. This is like quite unusual, but that's how deeply rooted this mental health problem was. I would eat something and I would throw a lot of it up. My friends would like know about this, but it wasn't like labeled. And I went to, you know, specialists in Harley Street to see what was up. And they were like, medically, you're fine. So psychologically there's something there. Anyway, I haven't done it since I was about 26 or whatever, but it suddenly occurred to me a few weeks ago, really interestingly, that”

4. “Yeah, so interesting actually because I I realized when I started to talk about mental health stuff, even more interestingly than what you've just said, I kind of realized that I'd been burying another mental health problem. So actually the tweet was more depression, burnout, anxiety, and insomnia.”
