texas hold'em card game Your mental health stories
Talking about our mental health shouldn’t be taboo – it’s time to open up and share our experiences.
Hear real-life stories from some of our members†
Mental health problems affect 1 in 4 adults every year1, so no one should feel ashamed.
By sharing our experiences, we can all feel like we’re in this together.

Normal meant drinking over two litres of gin a day. Alan hid it quite well and hoped no one would notice. But his family did. Watch our video to see what life used to be like for him and how we helped.
ALAN:
If you knew where I’d come from...
...you wouldn’t think I’d be here now.
But after I retired, I was drinking two litres of gin every day.
Breaking point was the day my wife said she was walking out.
When I rang Bupa, I suppose I ran out of excuses.
I had a session with a doctor who specialises in addiction. He said basically ‘you’re killing yourself’
He put together a treatment plan. I went into rehab for 28 days.
SARAH:
We’re here to get you the support and treatment you need and minimise the impact on your family.
We do follow up calls…keep the conversation going and make sure you’re doing okay.
ALAN:
I’ve got a lot to thank Bupa for.
I’ve got my family back.
And I suppose I’ve got myself back, too.

Normal meant a constant feeling of worry in the pit of his stomach and suffering with his emotions. But he felt pressure from his family to make everyone happy. Watch our video to find out how we helped.
JAMEEL:
Being around other people is the most natural thing in the world. But to me…it’s liberating.
You don’t always realise when something’s happening to you. I know I didn’t.
I’ve always been a worrier.
From a young age, my family put a lot of pressure on me. As I got older, my anxiety spiralled
I couldn’t leave the house, I’d jump every time the doorbell rang. I was very, very low.
My wife said: “It breaks my heart to see you like this, you need help.”
I had Bupa cover through work, so I made the call to reach out.
Bupa helped me choose a therapist… I was in control of who I went to see… they were fantastic.
PAT:
With anxiety, or depression, you always worry about the next wave. So getting the right treatment for you, as quickly as possible, is really important.
From the moment you pick up the phone, we’re here for you
JAMEEL:
Between my therapist, my wife, and Bupa, my confidence is higher than it’s ever been.
I’m so grateful for everything Bupa has done for me. They’ve helped change my life.
