Peter Snellgrove Hawkins - My journey with depression

April 28, 2021 • Mari Williams

Content Warning: Please note that this episode contains discussions of suicide

In this episode, Peter talks about his experience with depression and reflects on his journey. Open and honestly, Peter talks about his struggles in the hope to remove the shame associated with mental illness. After a difficult childhood, lack of self-worth, and being in a ‘big black cloud’ of depression, Peter talks about his recovery, his change in mindset, and starting to believe he can be okay again.

From taking 3 hours to get dressed and hitting rock bottom, to discussing his story at work and recognising his triggers, Peter's story is incredibly inspiring and shows that help and recovery are out there.
