In todays episode I am joined by Serenity (note this is their twitter handle not their real name) who in their own words in one of those "rare annoying people who manage to hole down a job"

In this episode we discuss Serenity's experiences around the mental health service, including medical notes getting lost, having to self advocate and the difficulties in being honest with professionals, as well as the fairly big topic of being able to engage in education and employment while having a serious mental illness. We also discover that we both have a similar issue in that being bored can be a huge trigger for us getting ill! 

Serenity has chosen to be anonymous due to the potential effects disclosure could have on their life and career, here at Reality Tourists we fully understand and accept that this level of stigma does exist and is a serious issue. As such we ask that if you know who todays guest is or recognise their voice that you do not out them publicly.
