Where I've been - My mental health battle

Many people suffer from one form of mental health illness or another, my battle came to a head in 2021 where I found myself on the brink of the unthinkable.
I feel like part of my healing needs to involve some awareness, in the hope that my own story might just help one person speak up and tackle their own battle, with the help of a professional; If this helps just one person, it's worth it.
Seeking help doesn't make you weak, it's one of the most courageous things you can do, please don't suffer in silence and help change the stigma attached to mental health, ask a friend if they're ok if you think they're not.
If you have any questions, drop a comment or send me a message on one of the following if you want to chat privately, I will do my best to get back to everyone, but with a house full of kids, please forgive me if I don't reply straight away, If you are in an emergency situation, please call 000.

Thank you mate, I appreciate the kind words. It took me a while to muster the courage to film this, but I hope that it somehow might help someone else through it by hearing it from me.
Thanks again mate, take care 👌🏼

Fantastic video Matt; we've certainly got a bit in common and you've gained a new loyal subscriber in me. Thank you for speaking openly about Mental Health - it helps other blokes who might be afraid to speak up or reach out. 👊

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words.
This is a topic so often overlooked until it’s to late, I’ll be an advocate for blokes especially to speak up and have the courage to say I’m not ok 👊🏼
