Staying by Lewis Hamilton does not just give you a free paddock pass, but also a platform and half a million followers. Turns out his physio and close confidant Angela Cullen is using that fame to good use. Angela recently put out a meaningful post that echoes along the lines Lewis has taken on mental health.

Like many other issues, the topic of mental health is immensely close to Lewis Hamilton’s heart. A couple of years ago, he put out a long message on his Instagram opening up on his mental struggles. Acting as an inspiration, he urged people to speak out if they are suffering.

Angela Cullen walks into Lewis Hamilton’s footsteps

Going by her designation, Angela Cullen is simply Lewis Hamilton‘s physio. But if we go by what she does for Lewis, we will find no designation. From carrying his stuff around in paddocks to looking after his meals and staying by his side at all times, she does it all. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise when Angela’s thoughts match Lewis’.

Cullen recently took to Instagram to share a story of her friend who struggled with addiction. Urging people to seek help, she put out a powerful message. Angela wrote, “Across the world, untold millions fall prey to some form of addiction. If you or someone you know suffers in silence, there is hope.”
“Seeking pleasure ends up being, not about the pleasure itself, more about alleviating the suffering and pain that exists in pleasure’s absence. Use your voice. Seek help.”

Lewis Hamilton gave out a powerful message on World Mental Health Day

On this year’s World Mental Health Day, F1 drivers spoke on the stigma surrounding mental issues. They also talked about the need to normalize the talk about mental health.

In the video put out by Formula 1, Hamilton said, “Mental health is not a joke or something to be laughed at or overlooked. There’s a lot of darkness surrounding us all. It is very easy to be pulled down by those things.”

“Life is so precious and you matter. Every single one of us matter. And also you’re unique and incredible and beautiful and powerful beyond understanding. So never forget that you’re great and that you’re destined for something great. Maybe it’s not happening right this second, but it can and will happen. So, stay positive.”
