Summary
[Original air date: May 1, 2018]. Mental health isn’t discussed as much as physical health, but it absolutely should be. In support of May’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re highlighting these raw and inspiring stories from our guests about their very personal struggles with anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders. Learn how these high-achieving people got through some of their darkest moments in this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.
NOTE: If you are in a crisis, or think you may have an emergency, call your doctor of 911 immediately. If you’re having suicidal thoughts, call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to a skilled, trained counselor at a crisis center in your area at any time (National Suicide Prevention Lifeline). If you are located outside of the United States, call your local emergency line immediately. This content is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

| 0:05.7 | health issues you may be dealing with or somebody that you know and love may be dealing with. |
| 0:09.9 | You are not alone. Whether it is depression, anxiety, addiction, et cetera, it is nearly universal |
| 0:16.5 | that somebody is themselves or knows somebody that is struggling with this. And it is very sad that |
| 0:21.8 | it's not something that more people talk about openly. But we've put together a very special |
| 0:25.7 | show for you guys today of just the incredible people that we've had on the show that have talked |
| 0:29.9 | openly about some of their own struggles. So hopefully in watching this, you will see that not only |
| 0:34.6 | can it be treated, but it's something that you can get to the other side of and be stronger for. So without further ado, check out the show. |

| 1:08.7 | especially before my car accident, my teenage years, then the first woman I ever loved, |
| 1:14.5 | we had a big breakup, and that breakup sent me down in depression and suicide planning. |
| 1:21.4 | And it's tough to dispense advice to people other than get help. And I'll share why. |
| 1:28.6 | Because that time in my life, I had so many people coming up to me. |
| 1:33.0 | You know, my friends would come into my dorm room. |
| 1:35.1 | Let's go do something. |
| 1:36.5 | And you just, there's just, the hope is lost. |
| 1:40.6 | And what people, I think, made a mistake of trying to do is hype people up. |
