One More Light Has Gone Out: A Raw Conversation About Men, Grief and Suicide

One More Light Has Gone Out: A Raw Conversation About Men, Grief and Suicide

In this deeply emotional episode of Unfiltered & Overloaded, Kroy and Jayz have a raw and honest conversation about men’s mental health, suicide, grief, and the silence that so many men are taught to carry. Sparked by the recent loss of a young man, the episode explores the painful questions left behind — could we have done more, what signs did we miss, and why are so many men still suffering alone? Together, they talk about the pressure to “man up,” the damage caused by emotional suppression, the loneliness many men face, and the urgent need for real connection, safe spaces, and support. This is not a polished or easy conversation — it is grief, humanity, heartbreak and hope, spoken out loud for every man who has ever felt unseen.

Pleasure Isn’t Dirty: ADHD, Autism, Touch Starvation & Learning to Feel Good Again

In this hilariously chaotic and surprisingly tender After Dark episode of Unfiltered and Overloaded, pleasure takes centre stage — but not in the way you might expect. Kroy and Jayz dive headfirst into International Masturbation Day, ADHD rabbit holes, body shame, touch starvation, sensory overload, self-care guilt, and why the word “pleasure” instantly makes everyone’s brain go there. From Disney’s The Little Mermaid to bathroom makeovers, airport meltdowns, naked confidence, full-length mirrors, and the healing power of a proper hug, this episode is a gloriously unfiltered reminder that feeling good in your own body should never be treated like a guilty secret. Expect laughs, oversharing, neurodivergent detours, and a surprisingly deep conversation about autism, ADHD, queer identity, platonic touch, self-pleasure, and learning how to reconnect with yourself. Pleasure isn’t dirty. Self-care isn’t selfish. And yes, sometimes the most radical thing you can do is schedule joy into the diary.

Why LGBTQ+ Visibility Still Matters

Kroy Ryder is a powerful LGBTQ+ voice, creator, and advocate sharing honest spoken-word reflections on queer identity, allyship, Pride, therapy, trauma, visibility, and survival. Through raw storytelling and emotional truth, Kroy explores what it means to feel safe, seen, and fully human in a world that has not always made space for LGBTQ+ people. His work challenges performative allyship, celebrates queer resilience, and reminds listeners that visibility is not decoration — it can be life-changing.

Gemma Collins “Fixes” ADHD? Autistic Voices React to the SEND Education Crisis

In this episode of Unfiltered and Overloaded, Kroy and Jayz dive into the chaos, frustration, and emotional weight of the UK education system for autistic and ADHD people. From sensory overload on holiday and going non-verbal at the airport, to traumatic school memories, exam halls, SEND support, EHCP battles, and the Department for Education’s controversial Gemma Collins campaign, this conversation gets honest, angry, funny, and deeply personal. We ask the real questions: Why are neurodivergent children and families still having to fight for basic support? Why are schools still unsafe for so many autistic and ADHD pupils? And why are lived experiences still being ignored? This is a passionate episode about being failed by the system, surviving it anyway, and demanding better for the next generation. Topics: autism, ADHD, SEND, EHCPs, education trauma, sensory overload, neurodivergent adults, school support, Gemma Collins, Department for Education.

I Wasn’t Supposed to Survive This: A Therapist’s Raw Truth

A therapist tells the truth most professionals are trained to hide. In this raw and unfiltered mental health story, I open up not just as a therapist, but as a human being — a gay man, autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, a trauma survivor, a grieving son, and a recovering self-harmer. This video goes into the messy reality of self-harm recovery, grief after losing a parent, male sexual assault, trauma, suicidal thoughts, neurodivergence, shame, survival, and healing. Not the polished version. Not the inspirational quote version. The real version. The ugly, painful, human version. Healing is not always beautiful. Sometimes healing is crying on the bathroom floor. Sometimes it is relapsing and choosing to try again. Sometimes it is saying the thing out loud that you thought would destroy you. This is for anyone hiding scars, carrying grief, surviving trauma, feeling broken, or wondering whether staying alive is enough. It is. Your pain matters. Your story matters. You matter. Topics covered: mental health, therapist story, trauma recovery, self-harm recovery, grief, losing my mum, male rape survivor, sexual assault survivor, suicidal thoughts, LGBTQ mental health, autistic therapist, ADHD, dyslexia, neurodivergent mental health, healing trauma, surviving shame, raw mental health talk.
