From mental health meltdown to finding love

This is the third in a series of seven entertaining and enlightening stories from people who are disabled or have mental health difficulties on the subject of love and relationships. In this edition, John talks about how he liked to make sure everyone felt just as miserable as he did when he was depressed, until a chance argument over an audition led him to finding the "light in his life" in the form of his long-term girlfriend. The stories were recorded in March 2017 at an event held by BBC Ouch at the Backyard Comedy Club in London.
