Coping with mental health conditions is never easy, but it does get easier; that’s what actor Will Poulter has learnt through his own experiences with OCD, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts.&nbsp;In this chat with Fearne, Will explains how OCD has manifested for him ever since he was a young kid. He also talks through why finding reasons to be grateful for the lessons mental health conditions have taught you can be helpful.&nbsp;If you’re honest with yourself... would you give yourself or others more grace if they had to take time off work because they’d broken their leg, as opposed to because their mental health was poor? Fearne and Will unpack that one, as well as discussing the importance of personalisation in looking after our brains. The same medication, meditation practice, or diet, is going to affect us all differently.&nbsp;Plus, do you constantly worry that you’ve said the wrong thing and pissed someone off? Fearne and Will have been there and offer their advice for overcoming that spiral...&nbsp;You can see Will in UK cinemas in Death of a Unicorn from April 4th, and Warfare from April 18th.&nbsp;If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:&nbsp;<a href="https://pod.fo/e/1612d1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joanna Lumley</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://pod.fo/e/eedb2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mel Robbins</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://pod.fo/e/11128e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tuppence Middleton</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://pod.fo/e/136bdc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jordan Stephens</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://pod.fo/e/2add68" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chiwetel Ejiofor</a>&nbsp;<hr> Hosted on Acast.
