Why do I feel like this?

How do you know when it's more than just a bad day?

Our thoughts and feelings can be difficult to navigate. Whether it’s the stress of work, burnout from your studies, complicated relationships, or things going on at home, it can all have an impact on our wellbeing. There are so many ways poor mental health can affect our minds and bodies, and when that happens, what do we do when we find ourselves asking 'Why do I feel like this?'

World Mental Health Day may be over for another year, but the conversation doesn't stop there. Oré and Shanequa are joined by clinical Psychologist Dr Kirren Schnack to answer your questions!

Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
