candidly opened up about his mental health battle admitting that he was contemplating suicide.
The rugby star explained he was “alone in London” and he “didn’t have a career” when things started to pile up. “I don’t want to get too dark on the podcast but it was basically a decision of, alright, either this is all over, or bring yourself to the doctor right now.” “They helped me thank God. I had to go on pretty heavy medication and that didn’t even work, they had to double the medication and it get really, really bad for a few months”.He explained that the only person he told was his mother and not even his closest friends knew he was going through anything. He then went on to say it was Doireann’s advice of “No one gives a f**k about you” that helped him navigate this difficult period.
