How Being Immunocompromised Affects Your Mental Health with Ellen Rose
Posted: 7 Sep 2022Episode 7
In this episode of the podcast, Rosie talks to Ellen Rose from Outside Xtra about her journey with mental health whilst being immunocompromised during a pandemic.
We also discuss the anxieties that accompany us from events, travelling and day-to-day life.
We discuss the ins and outs of ‘Stray’, a third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed, neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity, before chatting about our panel at EGX in 2021.
Ellen talks about the games that have kept her grounded during such a chaotic and hard couple of years, and how being an influence within the gaming space online has affected how she manages her mental health. Ellen Rose also talks about how Outside Xtra (both fans and colleagues) have supported her during the pandemic on this episode of the podcast.
We discuss how being so contactable on social media can affect our mental health, especially when that online space is also a professional space.
