I am participating in this event to help myself and other how suffer from mental health.
I have always thought that I been in control of my emotions, but a number of issues in happened in a short affected my mental health.
I started to become someone I am not. I could start an argument in an empty room, I was sharp with people when they tried to talked to me, did not listen to the things going on around me. Constantly had an angry face on me which also people I worked with noticed especially my team.
With the support of my wife, family and friends I got the help I needed. I talked to a professional who helped me see things in a different way and help me see where I was going wrong.
I have also had back surgery to relieve pressure from a trap nerve where two disc were bulging onto nerve causing a lot of pain. This also has an impact on my mental health as I struggle to do the simplest things like pick my little baby up.
I am now in a much better place, I do have some good and bad days but mainly they are good.
I am doing this for the Mind charity so I can help make a little bit of difference in someone's life.
