98 - Loneliness, Lads & Letting It Out
Welcome to Back and Forth!
In this episode of Back and Forth, the guys get honest about loneliness, mental health, and why you don't have to face everything on your own. They explore how loneliness can exist even when you're surrounded by people, and why having the right support network can make all the difference.
Vish opens up about learning to stop hiding behind helping others, dealing with difficult emotions, and why sometimes you need to let yourself have a proper breakdown rather than pretending you're fine. They also discuss the difference between distraction and avoidance, the importance of acceptance, and why alcohol isn't always the answer.
From walking groups and casual check-ins to therapy and simply giving someone space to talk, the conversation offers practical ways to support yourself and others without trying to "fix" everything.
There's also a look at the Back and Forth MMH community, how walks and socials are helping people connect, and the latest updates on the app.
An honest, relatable conversation about loneliness, connection, vulnerability, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is simply talk.
