4 - Rob Wright - My 20 year battle with Bipolar cost me my job and almost my life

In episode four of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Rob Wright. Rob has battled mental health issues his entire life but it wasn't until a recent bipolar diagnosis that everything finally started to make sense.He talks about growing up without the support he needed, the toll that working in the prison service took on his mental health, losing his job following his diagnosis, and the moment he found himself standing on a bridge.He also talks about what bipolar disorder actually is, the stigma that surrounds it, and why he believes the most important thing any of us can do is talk.This one genuinely matters.
