I enjoy that side of it.
But, you know, look, for the last, I think for the last three, four years, I've been diagnosed with depression.
I'm in manic depression.
I can't get away from that.
I have ridiculously highs, massive lows.
You've seen my lows, Jeff.
You know my lows.
I'm being medicated for three years.
This is the first time I ever spoke about it.
I believe a lot of that was maybe injuries didn't help because the injuries were so, so difficult to try and overcome.
The self-doubts
You have within yourself, which is normal because you want to come back a better player, but you get a lot of people telling you you can't make it.
You're never going to be the same.
So the level of trying to prove yourself on a consistent basis that I am going to be better.
I am going to prove everyone wrong.
So it came back to even being a kid.
I moved away.
I'm going to make this work.
because I've missed out on my childhood.
I've missed out on all my friends.
