JNewtz's Identity Crisis with Poro Tsarkov

In this episode of 'Identity Crisis' comedian JNewtz chats with former counter intelligence agent Poro Tsarkov and how he broke away from that life, struggled getting back into 'civilian life' and the many mental health issues along the way.

Join JNewtz in this truly inspirational episode with Poro Tsarkov as they go into a very deep, heavy and at times dark conversation around identity, mental health and what it's like to be Autistic and how that can impact not only your life but also the people around you; family, friends and lovers.

The greatest piece of advice from this episode is surrounding Depression and Grief

We cover:

• Mental Challenges of Returning to Civilian Life
• Being diagnosed as Autistic, ADHD and Dyslexic
• Managing Relationships
• Suffering heavy Mental Health Issues and self-admission into Hospitals
• Anxiety and Depression
• Grief and Depression (Incredibly Insightful!)
• Vulnerability
• Fear and Love
• My New Identity

Remember - we are not alone. We all have demons, self esteem issues and can suffer from imposter syndrome. It's okay to not be okay, so reach out and talk to someone, but most of all never give up on your goals and dreams, or you may very well regret it.
