I asked him his name (Philip),scooped him up and brought him along with me and the rest of my friends where I did what I could to cheer him up, make him laugh and distract him from his worries.

Two years ago this week on a night out I came across a guy sitting on the ground outside, his head down looking sad. I stopped and asked him if he was ok. He said no, that he had a fight with his girlfriend and he was feeling really low.

We stayed up until daylight, I listened to his woes and and gave him whatever advice I could to help him and then we went our separate ways.

A few months later Philp tracked me down on fb and sent me this.pic.twitter.com/P4eUrnhU7G

After this we became good friends, meeting up regularly and hanging out. Philp was an amazing musician, bubbly and very handsome! If you live in Dublin you may have heard him busking on the streets.pic.twitter.com/uIAKU7NPGM

Unfortunately, Philp lost the battle with his demons yesterday.

I wish I could have stayed up all night every night to save Philp but I couldn't. What I can do though is ask you to please talk to people, check in and see if they are ok. And if you are not ok please tell someone, there is always a way out of the darkness!
