Mike Skinner discusses how being in The Streets has impacted his mental wellbeing

Speaking to Q Magazine for their cover feature, Mike Skinner said, "Every day in The Streets was scary because you feel totally out of control. Anxiety, paranoia and general fear. That’s what my 20s were like. Whereas my 30s were closer to depression."

Expanding on how he dealt with the pressure, Skinner added, "You try and push yourself through this feeling of existential depression. I’m not trying to say one is worse than the other. It just feels different."

He also spoke of how his role as a father has helped him, "With kids, you can’t really get anxious. You never hear of parents getting mentally ill over their kids, do you?"

Skinner added, "Like, they might become alcoholics. And fat. And get divorced. But you still have to hold it together if you are going to stick at the parenting game."
