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 spiraled and at what cost.
