“The reason I'm a volunteer is because I suffer from chronic depression. And as you've went, I'm sure there's been times where you have shut yourself in the house, and really absolutely, because the only way we learned that that's a problem is actually doing it: yeah, we do it badly and then we go: oh, don't do that, do that, no more.”
