John Junior, 34, is encouraging others to open up about their mental health this Christmas
A soap opera fan who says their life was saved by an episode of Hollyoaks is encouraging others to open up about their mental health this Christmas. John Junior, from Wilmslow says he tends to struggle over the festive period.
"It's pressure to go out, pressure to see people and pressure to get out of bed, which is a big one on Christmas Day. There are going to be millions of people who won't want to get out of bed. "Hearing someone say that to you and constantly reminding yourself of that makes you feel less alone. It makes you feel like you are wanted and it reminds you that the mood really is temporary.

John said: "I know I'd never spoken to her like that before. She messaged back saying 'don't worry son, it's OK'. I felt so much better being able to text my mum and express how I felt. I could never have done that face-to-face so I felt better.
