Riddled with anxiety, struggling with depression and feeling suicidal, Paul Cameron started using social media as his superpower to shift his way of thinking about himself. By recording short regular videos and sharing them online, Paul has come to realise that exposing his vulnerabilities gives him strength and helps him be positive about the world.
After a chaotic childhood Paul struggled with life that didn’t lurch from one out of control event to the next. But parenthood meant he had to try and find clarity and calm in his head to be able to bring up his child.
In this episode Paul talks candidly about how Tik Tok helped him turn a corner.
