Being Elro (Mental Health Documentary - Depersonalisation)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2018
- Elro is a rapper from south Wales who became well-known in the grime scene back in 2011. Upon releasing his Warm Up Session on SBTV, he was thrust into the spotlight, before being signed by Mike Skinner (The Streets).
As the record deal began to fall apart, Elro started suffering with a disorder called Depersonalisation, and crashed out of the music scene.
Today, he's back in the studio recording his first single in years and I recently caught up with him to talk about his career and his mental health.

Arrrrv maateee this is sick it's about time we talk about mental health issues big up elro 👊
Big up elro, dont come much realer than that guy
I can relate to this guy massively with the mental health side of things and I absolutely love the fact he does music like he's such a character and a good bloody guy
Woah, I had no idea he had depersonalisation (DP/DR). I was diagnosed with it as a teenager (triggered by sudden stress, not drugs) and he described it really well. I remember going for walks and feeling leaves and tree bark but my brain couldn't comprehend that I was physically touching them. I also felt no connection to any people on Earth, as if I was alone in a goldfish bowl. It's like a mild trip that you can't escape. Eleven years on, it has calmed down but it can still be made worse by things such as artificial light and too much screen time so I'm careful with how I live my life. Glad to see Elro is on the up, too. Top man!
Big up Elro, every word was honest and imperative to be spoken about in today's society. Keep at it stay strong
Elro your a legend you deserve success and you will be wealthy ❤
Keep at it Elro, those who know what they are really hearing will know you have been putting out sickness for bare time. Some people don't get your unorthodox style, others just get hung up on appearance. However, when you do your thing on point, you are a master of your craft and a lot us know that. Keep fighting the demons and keep grinding at your craft 🙌
Wow... I always knew elro had something deep going on but I didn't know he had so much in common with me who dealt with aspergers for 29 years before diagnosis

Really well produced doc!
Been on a similar path bro. This was eye opening. Big love xx
this expresses exactly how i feel big up elro
U feeling alright my bro?
I first got dpdr 3 1/2 years ago when I was 18 after cannabis use. I’ve ended up relapsing twice in that time and so only actually spent 2 1/2 years of that with the symptoms. (I’m currently 15 months clean and I promise myself to never touch the stuff again no alter how hard it gets).
I remember watching elros warm up session and having the thought in my head I often get when watching videos which is ‘I bet this guy doesn’t suffer with what I’ve got’ and then low and behold I find this video.
Big up Elro for describing this hard to explain disorder so well and for fighting through it to be able to make more music.
I love the jdz story teller as it really hits home with my own thoughts from having this disorder and being suicidal ❤️🐐
Bruvva so close to home apart from being signed but everything you said makes so much sense big up yourself

Massively Undderrated
I'm like a undercover cop in bed, I'm undercover double,
I'm undiscovered in rubble,
The only trouble is that I keep starring to space they call me Hubble,
Like a cockney in the back with a bong, I'm having a bubble
That song was unbelievable
