In the summer of 2019 at the age of 26. I was referred to a mental health clinic after being diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I spent 12 weeks in therapy and over the past four years, I've been on a journey of self discovery. I still struggle with my mental health sometimes but more than anything, I've learnt a lot more about who I am and have a deeper understanding of myself. And this is my story.
I respect the courage you have to speak about your life like that. Thank you.
You probably don't remember me. Just wanted to say that during a time in 2017-2018 when I was not expected to live. Your videos, Your replies to my comments on your videos and your care. Saved my life. When I was learning to walk again, it was your voice I heard over the therapist's. You SAM, saved a life. You SAM encouraged someone to walk again. You SAM are a superhero.
This really helped me with my mental health
Thank you
Such a great explanation of your challenges that can be so useful to others as well.
You are a legend Sam!
I know how important athlete support is, and I wish I could show your story to many in the performance sector, Sam. Thank you for sharing. So glad to hear you had the support from the EIS still, and there was a doctor who was able to recognise and that you were still able to have support covered (mostly..).
It's difficult not to be teary watching this, just so very relieved that you had your brother and family to be able to talk to. It sounds like you have a very good understanding of yourself, and that will always serve well, for any and everything that is to come.
You are a good soul, Sam and that is what the world needs many more of.
Sending the very best.
