We must continue to address mental health issues and, most importantly, encourage people to talk about their mental health.

I look after myself a lot better now than before I was hospitalised. This is why it is so important people get help if they think they might be depressed.

If there is one insight I have gained over the years of living with depression, and seeing others do the same, it is that keeping it all inside is the wrong path.

It was the one place I thought I’d never be able to come out, ever. I didn’t know any footballers who were gay, so I could only assume the worst, it scared me.

Sometimes you don’t have a choice about what happens to you, necessarily, but what you do have control over is how you deal with it.

You can have depression and still have an important life. Whether you experience depression or not, the world is, in fact, a wondrous and worthwhile place to exist.

However you're feeling, don’t be afraid to reach out, ask for help and share what you're feeling.

All it took was for one day to say that I really wasn’t OK and I found a helping hand who would look into the darkness with me.

It’s so important to take care of yourself and part of that is asking for help if you need it.
