"3 or 4 times I've been very close to taking my own life. At that point, you don't really want to talk to anybody at all, but just knowing that they're there is a big help. 100%."

Having been diagnosed with depression and also bipolar, Oli found that exercise - particularly running - helps him to manage his depression and keep it at bay.
