About this listen

I wasn't living anymore, I was just surviving

From a young age, Shane Carthy had an amazing talent for sport. He quickly rose up through the ranks of Dublin football, playing on an All Ireland-winning team at the age of 18. In the midst of all of this success, he increasingly suffered from severe bouts of depression, hiding this from his family and all around him. For two long years as he triumphed on the football field, he suffered through constant mental turmoil. With searing honesty, he tells of his journey through deepest depression, leading him to become hospitalised at 19 years old and how he learned to overcome his troubles and to love life again.

I could not put this down once I started. Relating so much to what Shane had gone through and in awe of how courageous he is to tell his powerful story on mental health, depression and suicide. People like Shane make the world a better place.

Tremendously truthful
