Show Notes
Today we have a special episode- a friend of the family shares his story of mental illness, rock bottom and suicide. I met Fatz when I started dating my husband. He was a fellow footy player who had just returned to Sydney after an incident had occurred in the UK. I didn’t know exactly what happened back then but I knew his close circle was really worried. It was serious. Today Fatz talks about where his mental illness started, how he spiralled and at what cost.
