My second bout of severe depression started when I was happy with life. My girlfriend of over ten years had just moved in with me in London where I had started working two years before. I had just been awarded a teaching prize at work and I was also exercising regularly but below the surface things were not all well.
Time to Change asked me to review Andrew Flintoff’s ‘The Hidden Side of Sport’ - a documentary to be aired at 10.45pm, Wednesday 11th Jan on BBC1. What a fantastic film!
