Hi there, and thanks for checking this section of the site out. I'm Dan, and want to use this opportunity to explain a bit more about why GoodEnoughChats exists.

​

For many years, I've struggled with low self-esteem, anxiety, and bouts of depression, but it really all came to a head for me in 2017. At the time I was working in a high-pressure, corporate environment and circumstances conspired to take me beyond the point at which I could cope.

​

I went through a major burnout, derailing my life for months and leaving me with mental scars that still affect me today, almost a decade later.

​

At my lowest point, I felt isolated and helpless, but when I started to answer questions like, "How are you doing?" honestly, the responses I got from people made me realise that I was far from alone, and that in itself gave me more strength to focus on my recovery. 

​

GoodEnoughChats came about as a direct result of this experience, and my wanting to help other guys realise they aren't alone, and they don't need to suffer in silence. I found that talking openly about my experiences helped me as much as it helped others, and I want this platform to continue to grow so that this bank of conversations is there to show other guys to seek out the help they need in the future.

​

This isn't about expert advice, but about showing men that talking about this stuff is the best way to help themselves.

​

I'm grateful to every one of the guys who comes forward to share their story in support of this idea, and each of their chats has the potential to make a real difference to others.​
