If I ever meet Chad Nowak's friend Mark or his partner Candice, I will shake their hands and give them a huge hug. You see, Mark and Candice are one of the reasons we still have Chad with us today. In this episode Chad and I share about our struggles with mental health. Both of us talk about times we struggled with not only depression but also thoughts and plans of suicide. This one is heavy, folks. It's not "about" FPV, but we should all be aware that there are many around us in this community that are having a hard time or even suffering. Love on those people, it's one thing we can do.
If you are struggling, please, please reach out. You may not feel relevant, or like you're a burden. You may not feel like continuing on or that no one will miss you. You're wrong and the world would be a much sadder place without you.
As I consider my own struggles with depression and thoughts of suicide from the place where I am now I realize all of the things that I would have missed out on. My children, my wife, the magic of FPV, the wild ride I've had on YouTube. From the dark place you may be it seems impossible that the future could possibly exist, and even if it does it's full of misery and suffering.
That is not the truth. The time and the moment are hard, but life is out there waiting for you. Stick around to see it.
