    <description>Each person’s experience of mental illness is unique. In each episode of Being Well we hear from somebody who has experienced mental ill health of one kind or another.  We join them as they explore their experience, its place in their lives and its impact on the way they have chosen to live.  There is a lot to be learnt from each of these very diverse stories about surviving and flourishing in the context of mental illness. Made possible by the eMental Health in Practice Project.</description>

<p> Fiona Wright was probably best known as a poet until she wrote her recent book, ‘Small Acts of Disappearance’, where she described her experience of living with an eating disorder.</p>



<p>Fiona will be telling us about that experience of mental illness, and other experiences with depression and of anxiety.</p>



<p>She’ll also explain how, although writing about her mental illness came relatively late, it brought a lot of good things to her life.</p>



<p>If this episode leaves you needing to talk to someone, you can always call Lifeline on 13 11 14 in Australia, or the eating disorder &amp; body image support line, run by the Butterfly Foundation, on 1 800 33 46 73.</p>

<p> Jocelyn Lowinger is a doctor who knows a lot about doctors’ mental health. She has some valuable insights to add to the discussion of wellbeing in the medical profession, including some ways to help doctors improve the level of distress in a profession that is not known for looking after itself.</p>



<p>We’d like to add that online mental health programs such as Black Dog Institute’s <a href="https://www.mycompass.org.au/" rel="noreferrer noopener">myCompass</a> or any of the other Australian evidence based programs are a great place for doctors to start to learn psychological survival skills – some of which might benefit their patients as well!</p>



<p>If this episode raises issues you need to talk about, you can call Lifeline in Australia on 13 11 14, beyondblue on 1300 22 4636 or Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467, or via <a href="https://www.suicidecallbackservice.org.au/" rel="noreferrer noopener">online counselling</a>.
