An agricultural worker has confessed that he tried to take his own life in an attempt to help other people cope with similar mental health struggles. Speaking as part of the Samaritans' Real People, Real Stories campaign, the man did not realise he suffered from any issues until he contemplated ending it all.
Michael, who lives and works near the Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate, explained: "It's just hard to put into words, how each day was. Each day was dark, there was nothing to look forward to."
The 56-year-old dad has described his traumatic experience to try to encourage other people to talk about their problems, instead of suffering in silence, reports YorkshireLive.
