    S3E24 - I thought I was talking to aliens, with Will
    2026/10/02
    On the Lively Minds UK mental health podcast, Will and Ellie discuss a teenage episode of Will’s OCD from the mid-1990s, before he knew what OCD was.

    After an infatuation, Will developed intrusive harm fears about the person being hurt, followed by a dread that aliens were listening to his thoughts and might treat them as instructions; his compulsions included mentally sending “no/don’t” messages, then symbols, and finally looking at drawings by his bed.

    The distress was intense for about a year and lasted roughly two years, mainly internally and worse when alone, while he remained outwardly “high functioning.”

    They explain OCD as intrusive thoughts plus compulsions, ego-dystonia, doubt, and maintained insight.

    Will sought help but was not diagnosed, only recognizing it as OCD about 20 years later; the alien theme later returned briefly and he dismissed it, and he notes guilt and black-and-white moral thinking as key drivers.

    They mention OCD Action and OCD UK as support resources.

  • S3E21 - The mental health of Green and Blue Spaces, with Ellie

    S3E21 - The mental health of Green and Blue Spaces, with Ellie
    2026/08/07
    It's easy to assume that proximity to greenery or stretches of water (rivers, lakes, the sea) is good for your mental health.... Not so fast... Ellie dismantles some of Will's assumptions in this episode!

    They discuss Ellie's new PhD at the University of Cumbria, funded through an NIHR-supported Mental Health Leaders Award focused on mental health inequalities in Cumbria.

    Ellie’s research explores how disabled young people living rurally or coastally in Cumbria perceive green and blue spaces (parks, woodlands, gardens, seas, rivers, lakes) and other “third spaces” outside home and work/school as affecting their mental health and wellbeing.

    She critiques romanticised assumptions and lab-based or map-proximity studies that ignore access and infrastructure barriers, sharing personal experiences of feeling excluded from nature and reframing the issue as accessibility.
