Miscellaneous
Alastair Dickinson is someone who was forced to assess his definition of happiness when living life by following what "should" make you happy. Coming from a background in rugby had what he describes as a stereotypically masculine view of mental health. Meaning we keep a lid on it and we move on. This lead to his mental health deteriorating to the point of it affecting his job as a teacher where his depression and anxiety would often make him physically sick. I'll leave it to Alastair to tell the rest of his story, which he does here but also in much finer detail in his book You're Not Alone.
