Letters / Thank you!
I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone for standing by me through these tough times, plus the Mind Your Head team who put this video together and made it all happen (Laurence speaks out in video about men’s mental health; SN, 27/04/16); they have been nothing but amazing, and I have nothing but respect for what they have done for me.
The sharing and the kind comments have been unbelievable, and I am very touched and overwhelmed; it’s been an emotional few months for me and others
My wife and son are the real heroes! They’re the ones who got me help and keep me smiling everyday. I love you both.
The family: You’ve been there since I was a little boy and seen my problems and always stuck by my side never judged me and always looked after me. I love you lots.
This has been an experience for me and I hope I can make a difference.
All the comments I have received will give inspiration and hope to others as it has done for me!
There is a way through the storm, which becomes clear with time and patience.
Thanks everyone,
Laurence Johnson
