What we’re about
My name is Chris Filmer I had a 22-year career in the Royal Australian Air Force, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Type One while I was away in 2004 on attachment as the Head Coach of the RAAF National Rugby Union Team. I was aged forty at the time and was subsequently medically discharged from the Air Force.
I basically took my medication and thought that would be it for my Bipolar, but in 2009 it came back in a big way; I lost my job as a Mining Sales Manager, left my wife and daughter and spent over a couple hundred thousand dollars.
The Depression book came from my own lived experience of Depression. These are suggestions to get you out of bed, off the couch, to the kitchen or outside. Any thing to get you out of the dark place, yes it may be short lived , but it may be enough to make you feel better or stop thoughts of suicide.
