00:00You OK?
00:01I sleep overrated.
00:02You might not want to talk about this right now, but...
00:05Huh.
00:06Looks like we need a loaf. I'll pick one up after work.
00:15Do we need anything else?
00:16What you promised yesterday.
00:18It's all good.
00:19I don't understand.
00:20Maybe I'll get something at the cafe instead.
00:22I've been looking online and there's loads of stuff.
00:25Resources, contacts, how to get help.
00:28Counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy.
00:31That's my form.
00:33What would I do without you, eh?
00:35Tom.
00:37No, I'm serious. I meant it. Of course I did.
00:40OK.
00:42Well, maybe you could start by just talking to someone at surgery then.
00:45It's confidential.
00:47They could point you in the right direction.
00:50You're not the only one with this problem, but admitting it...
00:53I know.
00:54It's the first step.
00:57It's the first step.
01:02So, what seems to be the problem?
01:06So this doesn't go any further?
01:08Goes without saying.
01:10I can only help you if you tell me what's wrong.
01:13I don't really know what's wrong.
01:19This isn't easy for me.
01:21Take time.
01:22I know I'm supposed to be more understanding
01:26and I should be able to handle things better, but...
01:31..sometimes it's so hard.
01:35I wish there was a switch that I could flick, but there isn't.
01:40I wish there was a miracle cure, but there isn't.
01:47And it just comes out of nowhere.
01:50Everything's fine and then...
01:52..all of a sudden, all hell breaks loose and I've got no idea how to stop it.
01:57Stop what, exactly?
01:59Everything. The mood swings, the...
02:02..the anger, the paranoia.
02:07I know I probably sound like a complete idiot, but I need help.
02:12And you are going to get it, Tom.
02:15Wait. No, no, no, sorry.
02:19I don't think you understand.
02:21I'm not the one that needs help, Doctor.
02:27It's Belle.
02:42You know, I understand how difficult it must be...
02:45..living with anyone who struggles with their mental health
02:47always presents certain challenges.
02:51I'm sorry.
02:53I know I'm making it sound like it's all about me, but it's not.
02:57It's Belle.
03:00I just worry about her.
03:02And sometimes it's hard not to.
03:04Especially when it's somebody we care so deeply about.
03:09But she just keeps saying,
03:11she just keeps saying,
03:13everything's fine.
03:18The community mental health team.
03:20I want to get them involved.
03:23But she just shuts me down.
03:27You know, being open with each other,
03:30communication in these types of situations is hugely important.
03:35Well, thank you.
03:37But like I said before,
03:39all I really care about is Belle.
03:42I just want her to get the help that she needs.
03:54I was going to pretend I baked it myself.
03:56And then you realised that I started to think
03:58there was something seriously wrong with you.
04:01Like I'm bearing gifts.
04:03Mm, chocolate.
04:05My favourite kind of gift.
04:07Moira's cooked up a feast though, so I don't even know if we'll get dessert.
04:10You still got a lot to learn about kids.
04:12They're keeping you busy then?
04:14It's not sheep, it's always the kids.
04:22Got your text?
04:24Went well with Liam then?
04:29I think so.
04:32What did you talk about?
04:34Obviously you don't have to give me details.
04:36You don't have to give me details if you don't want.
04:39It's just, um...
04:41It felt weird being in there, opening up about yourself.
04:45It's not weird, Tom, it's brave.
04:48We spoke about a lot of things, mainly therapy-based.
04:53Coping mechanisms.
04:56There's no quick fix.
04:58I know you don't want to go, but this is a good thing.
05:03I just want to be better.
05:06For you.
