WATCH: Rob Mills discusses mental health battle after Australian IdolMills spoke to WHO during a break in his current rehearsal schedule, for musical Hairspray, about his own mental health journey and how important it is to check in with friends.“I suffered a panic attack many years ago after Australian Idol.

I think it came from a bit of substance abuse, drinking and stuff,” he shares.“It was probably at a time where I really didn’t know who I was as a person, and I hadn’t really done any self-exploration.

I had a lot of self-confidence, but not a lot of self-worth.”Since then, Mills has been on a journey to take “stock of what it is that I want in life” and understand “who the person is I want to be”.Mills has been on a journey to take “stock of what it is that I want in life”.Booking in monthly visits with a mental health professional, spending time both alone and with friends, plus throwing himself into reading “beautiful fiction stories”, Mills is finally in a good place.During the 2020 lockdown, the musical theatre performer took a course in mental health support to become more “aware of how to help people” and to learn about the “importance of being vulnerable”.He also threw himself into writing his book, Putting on a Show.

IMF Chief urges creditor countries to show leadership to enable debt relief
COLOMBO (News 1st); The Chief of International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva urged for large creditor nations such as China to show leadership and move rapidly to enable debt relief to countries such as Sri Lanka.Speaking to CNBC during her visit India, the IMF Chief said that about 25% of emerging market economies in distress, and Sri Lanka has been such a case for a long time. Pointing out that over 60% of low-income countries are at distress due to this, and even middle-income countries with strong fundamentals have fallen into a dire situation. What happened to these countries was that the frequency of shocks they faced increased, the IMF Chief said; "shock, upon shock, upon shock. Even countries with strong fundamentals, are becoming vulnerable," she said.Therefore, the lesson which should be learned is prudent fiscal policies, sound buffers and building resilience to shocks, Georgieva said.Referring to countries such as Malawi, IMF Chief Georgieva said that the country is experiencing a food shortage, a fuel shortage, and a debt crisis, which makes the entry of IMF even harder. "My message to the creditors, especially large creditors such sa China; 57% of loans to low-income countries is from China, or the private sector, which is even a bigger creditor, is that you have done a needy job to provide financial resources for growth, that is not necessarily bad.
