KEY TAKEAWAYS
- People suffering with mental health issues often create a mask to hide behind. They can put on a front that displays a far different personality to the one inside.
- When we enter a downward spiral, it becomes increasingly difficult to climb back up, our mind begins to attack each negative impulse with a more negative one.
- The most effective way of emerging from a downward spiral is to share your feelings with someone you trust. Once it's out in the open, the problem will always be more manageable.
- We are sometimes programmed to chastise and castigate those who have weaknesses, but we must look behind the deeds, and at the reasons for the deeds themselves. We must empathise and understand. People are going through things that may not be visible upon the surface.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Inside they didn't know what was going on'
'Success is only as good as the team that you've got'
'They say that hurt people hurt people'
'Tell them - because once you do that, it's on the table'
