Diving in the pitch black waters of the North Atlantic Ocean is a life changing experience. Surfer Al Mennie knows it all too well: during the pandemic he began to swim at night, close to the shores of Northern Irland. He soon realized that those moments were a metaphor for the loneliness that people experienced during Covid-19 and, more in general, a metaphor for the bewilderment that people with mental health disorders must feel most of the time. Al Mennie is the host for this episode of Tangles, where we talk about the challenges that people suffering from central nervous system diseases must face. Our guest is Emma Beamish, ex cricket player who has suffered from epilepsy since she was 14 years old.

Cosa significa immergersi in acque scure, al freddo e da soli? Il surfista Al Mennie lo sa bene: in piena pandemia ha iniziato a nuotare nell’oceano Atlantico, in Irlanda del nord, di notte. Ben presto si è reso conto di aver inscenato una metafora della solitudine ai tempi del Covid e, più in generale, dello smarrimento legato ai problemi di salute mentale, e non solo.
Al Mennie è l'host di questa puntata di Tangles, in cui vengono raccontate le sfide che devono affrontare le persone che convivono con un disturbo o una malattia. La protagonista è Emma Beamish, ex giocatrice di cricket, che ha avuto la sua prima crisi epilettica all'età di 14 anni.
