That first step of speaking to someone when you're finding things difficult can be very challenging.
But, as @GlamCricket's Kiran Carlson knows well, taking that action is often hugely beneficial in the long term.

๐ "It's become such a tight-knit community that it feels very personal. If I was to talk about the messages, I'd probably get quite emotional."
Liv Bythell, whose partner Tyler McGladdery captains @NelsonCricket, set up a social media page to support, offer friendship and share stories with partners of other cricketers

It's been five years since James Bracey's England caps, the aftermath of which affected him for a while.
But in the last two seasons, only seven players have scored more Champo runs.
He'd love another go, knows it's unlikely and cherishes county cricket:

Wrote something about Alex and the gap he leaves here openingupcricket.com/2026/03โฆ
Happy 38th birthday, Alex.
The season is nearly here & youโd have been itching to get the gloves on ๐
After Alex died by suicide, Opening Up Cricket was set up to promote mental wellbeing & suicide prevention
The best way we can all try is to let our mates know we care โค๏ธ
