Mental health stories for people who've done 'all the right things' but still feel really stuck.
People who don't fit the ‘just asked for help and now I'm better!’ mold.
From articles to podcasts to talks and workshops - at the Big Feels Club, we tell the truth about mental health in a way that's still encouraging.
Still struggling? You’re not alone.
74% of people seeking help with anxiety or depression are still struggling four years later.
That might sound bleak — but it’s also completely normal.
The problem is nobody tells you that. So when recovery isn’t a straight line, you start to wonder:
“Is the problem just … me?”
You are not the problem.
That’s why Big Feels Club exists — we’re here to remind you, you still belong on earth even when life gets really hard.
"Prior to the Big Feels Club featuring in my life I was sure I was a uniquely f***ed up weirdo. I can't accurately express just how much it's helped. Life is that much more bearable with all of you in it."
— Amber, Big Feels Clubber

WHO IS BIG FEELS CLUB?
The Big Feels Club is run by Graham Panther and Honor Eastly
Between us we’ve won the 2021 Australian Mental Health Prize, and started award-winning mental health services. But most importantly, we’ve spent years dealing with our own big mental health stuff.
That’s why we made this club.
For anyone who’s been doing ‘all the right things’… but still feels blown apart most days, and doesn’t know why.
We’re not mental health experts. We don’t claim to have ‘The Answer’. But sometimes ‘The Answer’ is finding other people asking the same big questions.
