Matt Caruana is a mental fitness facilitator and teenage survivor of a suicide attempt. Matt says that he was willing to die for his emotions as he jumped from a rooftop in the middle of the night at sixteen after sending his girlfriend a final text message saying goodbye. This experience left him a paraplegic. He has since turned his life around and aims to inspire what he calls 'mental fitness' in anybody who will listen, embracing the one thing that nearly killed him. This newfound purpose led him to overcome depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Questions relating to self-worth and self-image were replaced by a purpose-driven life and reason to live.
He chats with psychotherapist Emil Barna about his story and message for those in the pit of despair: Never lose heart; on the other side of pain is meaning.
