Commentary Supposing Books Me and My Mate Jeffrey: A story of big dreams, tough realities and facing my demons head on

In his book, Niall Breslin speaks openly about living with depression and anxiety, and his crippling journey to finally acknowledging 'Jeffrey' - the name he chose for it - years after he took the decision to conceal his growing mental health issues from the world, at age 15.
Told with raw honesty, it is a story of the demons that lay beneath outward success, and how they impacted on his career in sports and later music, as he coped with a condition that at times seemed hell bent on wrecking everything in its wake. It is also the story of a road to reconciliation with brokenness - beginning after a massive panic attack before a live TV appearance in 2012 - leading to brighter horizons.
Me and My Mate Jeffrey is an essential book for anyone who knows what it is to feel alone, and who doesn't know how to ask for help - or anyone who wants to better understand that journey.

Everyone's experience of anxiety and depression is different but for me, bressie's description of the clawing fear and struggle for breath during a vicious panic attack were so accurate and true to my own experience that I felt like I was right there with him. I so admire his courage in writing this book and his strength in learning to live with "Jeffrey" rather than fight with him. I've cried, I've held my breath and I've laughed

AmazingLoved this, so well written and had great advice for maintaining positive mental health. Definitely a must have, this is one of the best books I've read on anxiety for years.

Fantastic, absolutely loved reading this and i felt i could really relate to him. He's an amazing guy and he went through so much. He really has an understands of positivity of belief. He's truly inspiring.

Say what you will but there's something for everyone to learn from in this one.

What a fantastic book. Wow. I read this in practically sitting I was so captivated. Bressie has encaptured mental illness with a rawness and a profundity that I have yet to come across. His ability to 'say it like it is' is refreshing and nearly had me in tears on many occasions throughout the book. This book is a fantastic read if you have struggled with mental illness, know someone who has or even if you just want to educate yourself on the topic (which I really advise you to do). A huge

Irish musician and TV personality Niall Breslin (Bressie) speaks openly and frankly about his struggle with Generalised Anxiety Disorder. He's incredibly open and honest from his early days as a UCD student on a rugby scholarship, depressed and anxious but not knowing how to deal with it, right up to his days as one of the four judges on Ireland's version of singing show 'The Voice' and his panic attacks. By naming his anxiety (Jeffrey, a name he has always hated), he has found a way to make it
