My story

Monday 14th Sep As you may or may not know, I was diagnosed with severe depression and social anxiety a few years ago. Since then I have been on medication and had therapy a few times. Thankfully the depression is mostly gone and the social anxiety is mainly under control. But during those early year I had attempted suicide at least 3 times and thought about it numerous times. I have been lucky to have friends and family for support but not everyone does. Suicide is currently at a high risk cause of death more so among men then woman. Men need to feel that they can talk about their feelings and that it doesn't make them any less a man and that we need to end the stigma. This is why for the second time I am taking on the Glow walk.
