Billy was once the guy everyone knew as the happy-go-lucky, always-up-for-anything friend, but beneath that surface he was quietly navigating a growing sense of overwhelm that would eventually reshape his life. From the early days of university, where depression first took hold, through years of uncertainty, physical symptoms, and a diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorder, Billy’s story is one of resilience in the face of something largely invisible and deeply misunderstood. This episode is about what it was like to live with a condition that blurs the line between mental and physical health, and how he continues to move forward, even when his body won’t always let him.In this episode he shares:When his struggles first startedHis experience dealing with the droughtWhat FND isHis experience being in and out of hospitalBeing on suicide watchWhat he wishes he knew earlierKey Quotes“When I told people they couldn’t believe it, because they just didn’t see me as that person.”“Everyone was coming up wanting to help, but I couldn’t tell them what to do or what was wrong.”You can get involved with the podcast online On facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeusOr on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeusIf you want to contact the podcast, email us here: [email protected] check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.com If you want to find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website:http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.au Hosted on Acast.
