The best is yet to come
When Cavan footballer Alan O'Mara was 22, he spoke out about his battle with depression which led him to contemplate suicide. Only the thought of his parents and the pain that they would experience in his death prevented him from taking his own life. Here, Alan tells his story. From the role the GAA played in his life to the decision he made to share his journey, this is an account of an ordinary young man who found a way to move past the dark thoughts that beset his mind during his worst days, and who discovered that the only way out of the darkness is to ask for help.
