Made me Suicidal, Why me?, Family Expectations - Let's Talk: Men's Mental Health
Carrying the weight of expectations can be really tough. Especially for someone expecting to make it far in football. Elliot talks us through what his family hoped and expected, to then what he felt when his body started breaking down in his early teen years.
Operation after operation, losing his identity, suicidal thoughts and then eventually patterns of addiction. These are familiar stories for many lads when their expectations of themselves or others is not met. The group rally around him as many of the subjects like suicide, addiction and family have been discussed in previous episodes so they have personal experiences.
It's a great showing of a group who have now finished their journey together in the form of these episodes.

Tears of Pain, 20+ Operations and Football was my Identity - Let's Talk: Men's Mental Health
This session was Elliot's turn to delve into where his mental health developed into what it is now. Elliot admits things like addiction, drug use, panic attacks and depression throughout the sessions.
But here, Dr Suzanne Brown wants to start at where those moments began. Perhaps a common one for young lads, but Elliot was a talented footballer as a kid. Predicted by many to make it through the age groups. That was until a knee operation that started at age 11, and continued into his early 30's.
Having his identity built up as this footballer, he didn't realise how much he struggled when that was taken away. Not knowing who he was, what his purpose was, and that's stuck with him in growing into an adult.
Through Let's Talk and other therapy, he's recently been able to understand his thoughts, behaviours and become more comfortable with who he is now. A fascinating episode that many men will relate to.

Reviewing the Process, "We're Pregnant" and Accepting Vulnerability - Let's Talk: Men's Mental Health
In the last session with the group, the guys look back at the process with Dr Suzanne Brown. Reviewing the anxieties they had, how vulnerable they felt and the clarity on where they can talk more and improve their own mental health.
What was beautiful, was that, Jonno, who stepped up in the first session talking about miscarriage announces something very big to the group. Which also explains his absence from the previous session.
You can see the bond is well and truly formed between the guys, which is great to see. There's a real difference. A lightness, compared to how they felt when they first stepped into the process.
It's fair to say, Let's Talk: Men's Mental Health has positively impacted all of their lives.
