The biggest thing I heard there was you were three years or more under this cloud of depression or low mood or whatever you want to call it, trying to find everything you could to fill it.
In the latest episode of 'Me Head Is Wrecked,' host Tony Kelly sits down with Gary Robinson to explore a deeply personal journey of overcoming adversity. Gary, who once aspired to be a professional footballer, shares how his life took a different path when his dreams didn't materialize. Instead, he found himself drifting from job to job, engaging in excessive drinking, and living a party lifestyle that eventually led to years of depression.

This episode delves into the emotional and psychological challenges faced during these tumultuous years.
