By Shane Carthy
Dark Blue: The Despair Behind the Glory – My Journey Back from the Edge by Shane Carthy digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

I wasn't living anymore, I was just surviving From a young age, Shane Carthy had an amazing talent for sport. He quickly rose up through the ranks of Dublin football, playing on an All Ireland-winning team at the age of eighteen. In the midst of all of this success, he increasingly suffered from severe bouts of depression, hiding this from his family and all around him. For two long years, as he triumphed on the football field, he suffered through constant mental turmoil. With searing honesty, he tells of his journey through deepest depression, leading him to become hospitalised at nineteen years old, and how he learned to overcome his troubles and to love life again.

Dark Blue: The Despair Behind the Glory – My Journey Back from the Edge Reviews

4.0
Slightly Smiling Face“I read this book two years ago now. I have told sooo many people about this book and passed it on to my brother to read. Such an eye opening and thought provoking book on mental health and the stigma around it, especially when it comes to men and sharing their feelings. Really hits home and is the perfect example of “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about”. I had so many different emotions through out reading but I couldn’t put this book down! So inspiring and I really admire Shane Carthy for his brave words and sharing his story 🫶🏼☘️”
