Life is waiting for you. You might be stuck here for a while, but the world isn’t going anywhere. Hang on in there if you can. Life is always worth it.

Matt Haig

Introduction

At 24 years old while living in Ibiza with his girlfriend, Matt Haig had a breakdown.

This triggered Haig's long road to recovery from the depression and anxiety he'd been silently battling.

While his mental health troubles seemed sudden, Haig realized that the signs were always there.

But like many people with depression, especially men, social isolation kept Haig from getting the help he needed until it was almost too late.

Thankfully, Haig learned strategies to cope and now lives a happy life with his wife and kids.

It's impossible to prescribe a one-size-fits-all approach to healing from mental ill-health, but by sharing his story, Haig shows that anyone struggling is not alone.
