On the outside you will see a confident happy go lucky cheeky kinda guy! For many years from an early age I have battled with mental health, sleep deprivation and depression due to a challenging upbringing.. Those that know me well and for those that have crossed paths would not have noticed as I have masked it all my life, I have never wanted to tell anyone as I was embarrassed and thought it would show weakness by admitting my issues. But by not opening up or seeking help it resulted in my anxiety getting worse, drinking excessively and gambling more. My actions caused me to push people I love away, which in turn triggered my recent all time lows with suicidal thoughts. I was lucky enough to have good friends that helped me through these dark times. I was also surprised at the amount of friends that reached out who also experienced the same but never spoke about it. This encouraged me to finally face my demons and to seek help. Please share this link as I would love to raise awareness and money for this great charity !!
