AT: In about 2008, I really struggled. I bottled things up and not getting any support meant things snowballed. It got to the stage where I knew I needed to get help, but I had no idea who to approach or who to speak to. I confided a lot in my wife and my Gloucester team-mate at the time Gareth Delve. Eventually I got professional help, away from rugby. I wanted to speak to someone outside of the game, because I knew I would get a non-biased opinion from them. The hardest part was admitting to myself that I had got to the stage where I couldn’t carry on alone, but speaking about what had been happening during the week really helped.
