“I had a tough couple of months before the course, didn’t really feel like myself at all. I was very down, it was very low. I couldn’t really describe it but I got told it was depression.

“I’ve always been someone, to be honest, who’s always just thought I don’t really understand that.

“One of them was my partner. We lost something when it was really close to getting at the exciting time.
