The Mental Game by Brandon Saho

Please never give up. Don't give up on yourself, your life, your dreams, your family, your friends... please don't ever give up. I promise if you're struggling like I was? That feeling is only temporary... You can be happy again! See you soon for season two of The Mental Game!!

A year ago was the hardest day of my life. I checked myself into a mental health hospital because I didn’t want to live anymore. Thank God I got the help I needed. I can’t believe that’s where I was mentally. Please don’t be scared to ask for help. Posting this for anyone that needs a sign. You got this!

I didn’t want to be here a year ago. I was suicidal. But I want to explain how that feels and why you shouldn't be scared to ask for help. Please go get help if you’re struggling. You’re not alone.

Being single sucks. Especially when you've been single for the majority of your adult life. But loving yourself is a powerful thing. Maybe some of you understand how I feel? Maybe not. If you do... You're not alone. Go love yourself the best you can.

I quit drinking. Don’t know if it’s a forever thing, but I know it’s the right thing right now. Alcohol has played a big part in my depression with me drinking almost every day for 10 years. Sharing this to motivate anyone who wants to make a change too.
