After almost committing suicide, I decided to start talking and keep talking. It's a long story, all contained in my podcast and website--and now the transcripts of the first 22 episodes are in this book. After 51 years, I decided to stop living a life of quiet desperation. I decided to live it out loud, and maybe help others do the same. So, I keep talking and ask others to start listening. I want to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health as I discuss my journey with authenticity and compassion. Depression, anxiety, PTSD and the effects of childhood trauma are so misunderstood, by both people struggling and their loved ones. I attempt to shed some light on the topics. As I say in my podcast, I am not a psychologist, psychologist, therapist or any profession that ends in -ist. I am just a guy who has been there and may be there now. I'm still not doing it right, but I am finally on the right path. You are welcome to follow along on my journey.
