Chris Hart spent 30 years keeping everything inside.

The life and soul of a good night out, he was the highly sociable friend that went out of his way to talk to and support others when they were struggling.

Having suffered from intense social anxiety throughout childhood, nobody would have guessed that behind the carefully placed mask Chris had created, he was battling with his own intense feelings and depression.

Conversations were never about Chris.  He became an expert at deflection, and over time, created a master who excelled at hiding what was going on beneath the surface.

In this episode, we look at one man's journey and behaviour, including what happens when three decades of buried emotion starts spilling out uninvited.

Now an active mental health advocate, Chris gives is an insightful and honest account.  We learn about Borderline Personality Disorder and that although the idea of asking for help is terrifying, speaking out and speaking openly can change your life.
