Lurgan man Paul McCabe opens up about his battle with depression

A Co. Armagh man has opened up on his daily battle with depression and why it's the "most horrible place to be".
Paul McCabe, a father-of-three from Lurgan, sat down with Armagh I to talk frankly about his torment, fighting against dark, dark places and the help he eventually sought.
"After years of pretending I was fine it got that exhausting I had to hold my hand up and I had to expose my soft underbelly," he said. "I had to go to the GP and say I'm in a really bad place and I'm pretending not to be - and that's exhausting."
Paul speaks about how he turned to alcohol - a sheep in wolf's clothing - but it was all he could do to numb the pain.

Great interview Paul have walked and still live your experience. I feel and fear for the people suffering from the government policies on covid the cure will cost a lot more than the disease. The isolation suits me but what about those who need AA, pips etc a ticking time bomb is lit. Bless you for your honesty and courage.
