    also here off the back on the Glasto performance. I liked him as a person from the social media funny stuff but wasn´t a fan of the music, because I´m old. Genuinely moved by what I saw at Glastonbury. I wonder how many other 26 year olds have his level of emotional maturity? I know I didn´t. Having listened now to some of the music, I get it. I hope he continues just being himself. With that level of talent I can´t help thinking of other artists like George Michael or Paul McCartney. But right now, take the time needed. As friend said, "when you´re going through hell, keep going".. you´ll get there in the end.

I admire that since I worked with children with Tourette’s and I know how hard it is. Depression has been hard for me since Covid. I lost my mom, dad, father in law, aunt, and 4 friends. Lewis’ music always me to get my emotions out.

    I’m so glad Lewis is talking about anxiety in depth. The dizziness and hypochondriac thing is my life. I’ve developed agoraphobia purely because of the dizziness that comes with my anxiety. I’m too scared to leave the house because I get dizzy, then I tell myself it’s just anxiety, but like Lewis said.. what if it isn’t and I actually do pass out? It’s a vicious cycle and I’m tired of it. The hypochondriac thing too.. I won’t even use a new shampoo because my mind can convince me that I’ll take a reaction to it and maybe die. It sounds so ridiculous but anxiety is awful but I’m so glad I’m not alone after hearing Lewis talking about his anxiety.

    Aww Lewis, I just feel giving you a hug mate! Having worked with bands at grassroots level for years, I feel like once a band, musician etc moves up to the next level, the industry almost takes away that organic approach to the craft that I've seen all the artists I worked with in the past get a real buzz from and it almost takes away from the joy. It just makes me think of Prince and George Michael just wanting that creative freedom. Perhaps the music industry needs to reassess it's approach taking into account the mental health impacts that their current approach has on artists.

    I so relate to Lewis Capaldi. My 1st memory as a child ( after finding my dad's post-suicide body at 4) was at the age of 7, sitting in my room doing homework. Our neighbors kids were playing outside, and I distinctly remember thinking 'how nice to hear kids laughing' I suffer from anxiety, PTSD and survivor's guilt. The past two years of my life was spent in a highly functioning fugue state, and most days are spent idealistic death/dying. Despite this, I have held highly paid management positions, and completely addicted to various prescription psychiatric drugs. I am exhausted more often than not, but Lewis, as a youngster, gives me hope. ❤

    Such a beautiful open interview. As a 49 year woman who was diagnosed with complex childhood trauma, ptsd and hypochondria, I relate to Lewis experience as a child where you see your mum in pain and it somehow develops into becoming the clown in the family or for friends. I manage to find humour in most situations and love making people laugh, but the down side is when you’re alone and how drained you feel and fearful that something bad is about to happen every second of each day. People would never guess I have all these conditions and it’s definitely a self coping mechanism.

    My son lost his dad when he was 4. The impact was so great that he developed ocd and would wash his hands till they were red with rashes. He couldn’t get dirty. Wouldn’t step in water or dirt cause he couldn’t get his shoes dirty. If he dropped something on his shirt while eating he would have to change immediately. And of course what Lewis said about locking the door. He would always start asking me if I had locked the door. He’s 11 now and been in therapy for years but still struggles with anxiety and depression and self image. Thank you Lewis for being you and showing kids like him it’s okay to just be who you are and the world will embrace you as long as you do it from a genuine place ❤ Sincerely - a mom

    Hands down. This will be studied and learned from by professionals and real people going through it. The questions are so well crafted whilst feeling off the cuff. You have a gift. Listening and seamlessly bringing the issues back into conversation. You probe so respectfully and with empathy. I'm so glad for Lewis that he got to get a chance to open up and share in only the way he could but would never get through chance to on the usual media conveyor belt of interviews. He is a lovely normal bloke in an unreal occupation. You, Stephen are the best, most humane interviewer I've ever watched. Thank you x

Scotland loves you, listening to you speak is like myself trying to explain to others how I feel and where my heads at. Anxiety is no joke 😢 it affects all areas of your life, so much so that I question how people think about me. I take panic attacks a lot 😢😢😢 thank you 🙏🏼 both for this little gem.

    It's great to hear someone else being so open about their feelings especially in the first part of the podcast, I always feel like I over exaggerate situations and hide a lot of things due to not wanting to 'jinx' them as I have the anxiety of the worst always happening. Over explaining and justifying too is another big thing, and it's always mentioned to me that I go into things too much and explain too much... Never really thought too deeply about certain things but a lot of what he is speaking about is traits of myself which is very tough to come to the realisation of... Great podcast as always, enjoyed listening!

    Lewis is such a lovely genuine guy and incredibly talented. Really enjoying this one 🥰 I can relate to the anxiety due to parental influence. My Dad has always been a catastrophiser too always thinking of the worst elaborate scenario before it even happens which has passed to me. Even being aware of it i struggle to stop it. I struggle with health anxiety similarly too although i think this was offset by my son having an undiagnosed rare disease for 6 months with no health professionals taking my concerns seriously. Once he was diagnosed they apologised to me and said it is a leading cause of SIDS which sent me into a spiral completely unhelpful i worry for myself and everyone around me constantly. It can be truly exhausting. So glad Lewis has been getting help for the struggles he has. Great guy 💖

    What a lovely and genuine guy. I can relate so well with his description of being an anxious kid with hypochondriac tendencies. Later on in life it morphed into depression and anxiety. When in an anxious phase, doing breathing exercises helps. Also learning about what happens in the body when anxiety kicks in, ie the adrenalin rush and knowing that it eventually passes. Plus, read / watch what Joe Dispenza has to say about the power of the mind.
