A statement on yesterday…..
Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round.
I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast
I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour
I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself
I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything…..
My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days
I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while
Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend
I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead
Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey
Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too
Thank you all x

As today is #WorldMentalHealthDay I just thought I would share this. My story of how @BackOnside saved my life. 3 years ago yesterday I went on a journey I didn’t intend on coming back from. Thanks to Back Onside, I did come back and find myself in a better place.
Today is Suicide Prevention Day 💛
At Back Onside, suicide prevention isn’t just something we talk about today it’s what we do 365 days a year.
Please listen to the brave people sharing their stories today.
Pls donate & help us continue to be there when people need us most. 💛
On Sunday, we hosted our first (but definitely not last!) ever Reset Sunday Wellness Event at Cameron House 💛

On Tuesday, we spent the afternoon at Glasgow Airport, hosting a drop-in session for staff at Jet2.
Workplace mental health resources can be vital, providing people with the opportunity to access support, ask questions and learn more about the services available to them.
It was a pleasure to meet members of the team and share about how Back Onside can help 💛

Scotland days at school, kids faces painted in saltires at nursery, the excitement and togetherness that this tournament brought to everyone in our country means so much to us all.
No one wanted to progress more than us players, and as much as the experiences and memories we’ll share will last forever, that doesn’t take away from how much this still hurts.
What the gaffer has given this group, on and off the pitch, has been immense. Not only by taking us to major tournaments but by how together we have felt as a squad and as a nation. Representing Scotland means everything to us and to him I’ll be forever grateful.
I hope the generation of young Scots who experienced this World Cup grow up believing that seeing Scotland on this stage is the new norm.
Thanks to everyone in the stands and in the streets of Boston and Miami, and to everyone back home for the incredible support.
Proud to be Scottish 🏴💙

A childhood dream fulfilled but scoring Scotland’s winner in our first World Cup game in 28 years is just bonkers! The support last night and back home is just as expected. Quality! Let’s keep going!! 🏴🏴

Good people. Great cause. Questionable golf.
Looking back at last month's Golf Day at Mar Hall which delivered exactly what it promised - sunshine, laughs and plenty of fundraising for @BackOnside.⛳
Huge thanks to everyone who took part and helped make it another fantastic day.

We won the @BackOnside golf day at Marr Hall. Is it a sign of things to come in a few weeks time? 🤭

Every single one of the 251 players who have so far earned caps for @Scotlandteam women since 1993 have inspiring stories to tell + cap number 151 Suzy Rook is one of them...
Hear about her journey + the amazing fund raising she is doing
