TW: Depression & Suicide.
There isn't many things that leave the queen of waffle speechless, but this conversation was it. Steve is about to embark on an incredible attempt of one hundred skydives within 14-15hrs.
However, we couldn't leave the conversation at that. Every person has a story, and we needed to know the background to Steve that has led to the 'why' of attempting such a massive task (and all for such a good cause).
It is with that the discussion that the topic took a turn for the unexpected. Where our chats around his ongoing battle with Scheuermann's Disease also led us to discussions of his history with mental illness. How he went from mapping out every detail of his suicide to now being where he is today.
