Mr O’Doherty said while he planned to go overseas a few times this year, “Gold Coast is home for now”.
His tips for anyone struggling to cope is “don’t ignore it. Seek help”.
“If you’ve not got close family members to talk, talk to a friend or see a doctor, try to speak with a therapist. That doesn’t mean you’re crazy. It doesn’t mean you’re weird. It doesn’t mean you’re different. I’ve done a lot of therapy. I’ve been on antidepressants before. I’ve been through a lot of my own stuff that people wouldn’t know about behind closed doors. It happens to the best of us.”
His current focus is hitting peak fitness through exercise and a good food regimen.
“If you buy a Ferrari, you’re not going to go and put like really cheap crappy petrol in it. I’m not saying that people need expensive things, but if you’re filling your body with McDonald’s every day and not going to the gym or getting much sleep and eating ****load of sugar, you can’t expect to feel good. It’s just impossible.”
“Traumas happen in life. People go through things. That’s why I encourage anyone to seek help, speak to someone, get it off your chest, it’s better than keeping it in.”
