Summary

Shane Carthy writes frankly and eloquently about his journey over the last five years. He details, without overdramatising, the downward spiral which, days after producing a man-of-the-match display in Dublin’s 2014 Leinster under-21 final win over Meath, saw him wake up in St Patrick’s Mental Hospital.

Carthy also explains what ultimately brought him back to where he is now, discovering a path where life is worth living. He hopes that through his words and actions he can show people that there is a way out of the suffering they may be experiencing and the path, although difficult, is worth travelling.

Tremendously truthful

I could not put this down once I started. Relating so much to what Shane had gone through and in awe of how courageous he is to tell his powerful story on mental health, depression and suicide. People like Shane make the world a better place.
