James, thank you so much for sharing your experience of depression and how you navigated your way through. My son unfortunately was not able to do so and sadly took his own life nearly six years ago. Talking about depression publicly is important in raising awareness and understanding of life struggles and what can help. Thank you for your courage in sharing. May Ella RIP, always by your side. ❤
This was so enlightenmenting . An eloquent and authentic discussion that breaks the stigma of depression and opening up to family. Thank you James and may you continue to thrive ❤
What a great discussion, so brave. I, too, had a precious dog that saved my life. My life took a bad turn where we shifted house, my job of 30 years came to an end not through choice and my lovely husband died all within 4 months. My life lost all meaning. It was my dog that got me out of bed, who got me walking for miles and helped me re-engage with life again. It was a very sad day when he went to sleep at the age of 14.
This is wonderful. Thank you James for sharing your story. I think dogs are amazing and they can save your life, be your family. They can know you in a way that no one else can ❤️
I read James’s book in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down! Such a personable, genuine, warm and supportive Family. A great read. Such a valuable discussion about depression.
Always consider family and friends in such challenging period of time. It's true that human tend to avoid being within your social radar either if you are affected by a mental challenge or a more serious deadly disease like cancer. I remember when my father got terminal cancer diagnosis, I was teenager with friends and relatives and in a blink of an eye like if cancer was contagious, my so call friends turned me away stop gathering me, our family relatives distanced themselves like we want to keep our happiness protected from you! Writing those words, 40 years later, I am still mentally struggling of being socially demoted
James - I hung on every word you speak with such care & humanity you are an inspiration to so many. I'm awaiting delivery of your book love to your family of love... wonderful interview julia
When you think what this family went through and the insults from the media after Catherine started her relationship with William....it's amazing how they survived..
When James is saying "everybody's journey is different" I think he's touching one of the main keys to real kindness. Depression is painful, it takes all your energy and you can't sort it out when your thinking becomes more and more dangerous for you. A dog is the opposite to all that in many perspectives!
Well I for one am deeply thankful and relieved to see that this beautiful soul and beautiful man , James, is still with us to share his story with us and educate us on depression and how very bad it can get. Gosh I wish there were beautiful souls like James hanging out in the coffee shops near to where I live! But I doubt it, I live in a really run down area 😂. Thank God he made it through , he’s a true Gent and the world is a better place because of him 💕🙏🏻 xxx
We are all unique souls on our path through life,we should not compare ourselves with others,just to bring our uniqueness to the world should be enough 🙏
What a wonderful and deep look at the complex issue of the brain. In California, a friend had all dyslexic children who were being treated and it was pointed out that dyslexic people were geniuses who had the ability to see things from a different vantage point. My genius best friend couldn’t find her direction, always got lost while driving, saw letters of the alphabet the other way around, but was tested with a very high iq level. Her son is the same way.
I hope this reaches those making decisions about how our education system is being run. It could be a place for people to really thrive and where everyone could benefit from a neurodiverse environment.
I've lived my life pretending I fit in. The deep depression, anxiety and not recognizing who I am has me paralyzed; my dog bringing moments of relief. I devoured the book up to his wife arriving, ad I can't relate to the relief and joy. I will make an efforyto push thru the book. Thank you for sharing.
How so courageous James, thank you. Perhaps the "being" who got in the way of your darkest thoughts, was God? So wonderful that you are happily married with a lovely family, and extended family. Bravo!
Been there, the room full of people, but you're not there..the black cloud that presses down on you but you don't understand why..you cannot tell anyone, because you don't understand yourself..
My god so true! That’s exactly what they do tell you what to think not how to think! The system does not celebrate the ones who are above all that! Sometimes I wish my two children didn’t go to uni, they’ve been indoctrinated!😮
Very interesting and important observation you just shared..how insightful, thanks for sharing that real danger.(Practical know how, how to think for ourselves, not just parroting theories 😢)Also, peer pressure is so powerful!
quickly became irritated with the skipped frames every few seconds, it made watching less smooth. and i feel if the frames with pauses could have been left in rather than edited out, it wouldve done more justice to the guests train of thought being presented
This was wonderful. Thank you to James for his authenticity. Dogs in fact animals were always there for me as a child, and one dog in particular saved me in my adult life. He was there for me when nobody else could be. I then met my now husband and this dog was there for me too when my husband became seriously ill. Of course dogs never physically live long enough but do live on in us…..❤
Thank you James for your humaness. I see you. Ireland
A lovely, genuine man. Hope he has a a very happy life ahead, with his new family. He will help a lot of people after speaking out.
Respect to James for so openly talking about such painful times. You can feel it in his voice. He will help many people doing this.
My goodness this is so honest. He seems like such a beautiful soul.
Thank you so much James ❤

My history teacher told me in front of the whole class that I would fail my history o"level, WELL everyone failed...I was so pleased..😅
The exams failed me! What insight. I too have a beloved companion calked Ruby. ❤
Reminds me of Taylor Swift's - The Lakes 😢 what a place to heal, James. 🌳 🍂

Thank you for sharing this. That’s good to know. I’ll be more aware of that in how we edit these in the future.

Please just let James speak his own words, his truth, and stop trying to analyze him and speak for him.
You can be "highly intelligent " but have absolutely no common sense, I've met a few..
Ego
Self promotion on the back of his sister, whose greatest achievement was marriage.
