Man vs Mind

About Man vs Mind

Man vs Mind is a brutally honest, often funny, and always relatable men’s mental health podcast about the things men feel but rarely talk about. Tim and J are two ordinary blokes trying to make sense of their own heads – anxiety, anger, confidence, fatherhood, stress, medication, relationships, intrusive thoughts, and the day-to-day stuff most men brush off. No experts, no preachy advice, no five-step solutions. Just real conversation about real feelings and the stupid sh*t going on in our heads. The message is simple: you are not alone. When you hear someone else say the thing you’ve quietly struggled with, it cuts through the noise and loneliness and makes your beautiful mess feel a bit more manageable. That’s what this show is for. Some of it is silly, some of it is uncomfortable, and some of it is painfully truthful – but it’s exactly the kind of honesty men aren’t taught to share. If you want a podcast where men actually talk about what’s going on in their minds, without bravado or judgement, this is it. Disclaimer: we’re not mental health professionals. Nothing here is medical or psychological advice – just lived experience and open conversation.

   Switching anxiety meds destroyed me – but I'm back! | Man vs Medication

   His knees were weak, palms sweaty, and before you think Tim's rapping along to Lose Yourself, he's actually describing two of the four billion bloody symptoms he had while changing meds. Apparently serotonin withdrawl is a real thing and f*ck me it's savage. So once he got his head clear, him and J went through it all blow by bizarre blow, before digging into J's head as he prepares to become a daddy again. Fatherhood. It's a big one. You know what that means... 🚨 *Incoming mini-series alert* 🚨 Head to patreon.com/c/manvsmindpod (http://patreon.com/c/manvsmindpod) for some periodic extra stuff for free and for paid if you like us a lot.

   I'm neurotic... my psychiatrist says so | Man vs Obsessive Behaviour

   Tim's psychiatrist says he's exhibiting strong obsessive and neurotic tendancies... So Tim's spiralling, obvs. He's also mid-medication change (hello Prozac my old friend) – his head is all over the friggin place this week, and makes no attempt to hide it. They go over how smart gadgets and health-tracking tech actually feed obsessive behaviours, and Tim's experience ditching his scales and Apple Watch. Then Tim absolutely goes off the deep end about how Big Tech sells you the healthy solution to the lazy, snacky modern life. Because CaPiTaLiSm BrO 🛸 Oh and there's talk about vinyl records in space. For real.

   Why do men cry over football? | Man vs FIFA World Cup 2026 (Que Sera, Sera, We're Going to Therapy)

   With the World Cup 2026 kicking off, Tim and J tackle the question no man really wants answered: why does watching 22 strangers kick a ball reduce functional adults to tears? It's about sport, finding a sense of belonging, tribalism, and the awkward fact that football is one of the only socially-accepted places men are allowed to cry. They get into the teams you're born into versus the ones you pick, hooliganism as accidental group therapy, and the crushing anti-climax of your club finally winning something after seventy years – only to find the birds don't sing louder the next morning. It's also the episode that accidentally started this whole show. Que sera, sera. We're going to therapy. (Bee tee dubs, Tim recorded the entire thing in sunglasses, indoors, in the dark. He maintains this is a rock star aesthetic and not, as it obviously is, conjunctivitis.) You can watch the full episode exclusively on Patreon (for free, dw). Sign up here!
