The mental health toll of the COVID pandemic is only beginning to show itself, and it is too early to predict the scale of the impact.

None of us has ever lived through something like this before, and it& #39;s easy to say "Im fine."

2/6

Sometimes it feels like society says you should be "fine" if you dont feel overly happy or overly sad. But a study of 2,000 adults revealed that the average adult would say "I& #39;m fine" 14 times per week. Yet only 19% actually mean it!

Mental health is complicated and can be challenging to talk about how you feel. But it is essential in these challenging times that we do talk.

4/6

Now, we aren& #39;t suggesting you parade around openly discussing your mental health to literally anyone (unless you& #39;re happy with that), but talking is important, so if you are feeling anything but & #39;fine& #39;, please do speak to those you love and trust & if need be, seek help.

If you dont have a person you can talk to, then some organisations are there to help and support you.

Organisations like

We at @PunksInPubs will continue to talk about our mental health and (if willing) talking to our guests about theirs.

Stay well and look after yourself and others x
