Professional Athlete, Artist and Brand Owner, Graham Howes, Opens Up about His Mental Health Struggles and The Stigma the Industry has created making Athletes, feel trapped, ashamed or to competitive to speak out or ask for help.

When I was diagnosed with Major Depression in July 2019 my life changed forever...
It was one of the biggest turning points of my life. After years of confusion, anger, frustration and in a very, very dark place, I could finally make sense of why my mind had turned on me. A mind that had always been so powerful, so creative, so great had just stopped functioning. It’s incredibly scary when something we rely on, something that controls every aspect of your life, your health, relationships, skills, your wellbeing, all of a sudden fails you.
I fought it for so long, trying to figure it out until it fully exhausted my every being and left me crippled on a couch with the blinds shut for 2 weeks.

The Article continues with Graham's story and struggles as well as some scary facts and observations he has found on top elite athletes and extreme sports superstars we know and love. "I look at the Extreme Sports Industry and the role I have played in contributing to the Negative Stigma as an athlete, content curator and a brand owner. And look for solutions and what can be done to break down the walls and hopefully inspire other athletes, brands and people to take the right steps, and open pathways for people struggling from mental health issues to feel safe and less alone.

“As a male in my 30’s, suicide is the most likely thing to kill me…Read that again, shocking right? It is the leading cause of death to men in their 30’s”

“Andy Irons, dies alone in a hotel room after suffering silently with bipolar”. “Sunny Garcia (World Champion surfer) in a coma after a failed attemp at suicide after suffering from depression”, “XGames Gold Medalist, Dave Mirra dies of suspected suicide’ the list goes on and on. “

“I had my 1st panic attack while kiting on a long downwinder. It felt like someone had stuck their fist down my throat, I couldn’t breathe or get air into my lungs, my heart was pounding through my wetsuit.”
