That is the motto of Deni local Mick O'Sullivan.
The 51 year-old returned home from an eight week stay at a mental health recovery unit on Friday and the first thing he did was pick up a copy of the Pastoral Times.
He read that the Rams Football and Netball Club were hosting a Wellways mental health awareness and suicide prevention day.
He decided it was how he wanted to spend his day.
"Once I saw the article, I knew I wanted to come down on the Saturday to just to support the day and the cause," he said.
Mr O'Sullivan has been struggling with multiple mental illnesses since he was a young boy, with his first ever hospital admission in Year 10.
A few months ago Mr O'Sullivan voluntarily admitted himself into the Wagga Wagga Mental Health Recovery Unit.
It was triggered after he lost his job at the Deniliquin Rice Mill.
"I was made redundant at the rice mill because of the drought. They had to cut down on workers and some were volunteers, but I was forced out because they could do without me," he said.
"So, with this time up my sleeve and thought I would put it to good use and go to Wagga to work on my mental health after learning about it at Deniliquin Community Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Service.
"It was not like any other mental health centre or ward I have been to. I usually just go in when I am really unwell and as soon as I improve, they kick me out.
"It did take me a bit of courage to go there because I hate mental health hospitals, because of some of the bad experiences I have had. But this was the best experience I have ever had."
Mr O'Sullivan said his stay at Wagga has improved his ability to cope with the loss of his job so successfully, he's ready to start applying for a new job.
The message he has carried with him, and one he shared with the Pastoral Times on Saturday, is to speak out.
"I spoke out and I reached out. It is the best decision I have ever made," he said.
"I encourage everyone who experiences issues to speak out, especially those, like me, who have had bad experiences with programs and facilities. There is help out there that will suit and help you.
"Go see your local GP and talk about it. It is so important to take those first steps to reach out and talk about it."
Saturday's Wellways event at Deniliquin's Hardinge St oval was the second in a month in Deniliquin.
The inaugural Wellways Day was hosted in conjunction with the Deniliquin Rovers Football Netball Club on July 20.
Wellways Reconciliation Action Plan officer Stephen Smith said both events have already helped many in the region seek help.
He said it was a result of being informed about their choices and reducing the stigma around mental health, particularly in sporting clubs.
"The 'thought, talk, tackle' campaign is all about raising awareness around mental health and suicide prevention and the thoughts players can have, especially in small rural towns," he said.
"We are hoping to reach out and raise awareness with many, if not all of the local clubs in the region while particularly targeting smaller farming communities who are facing tough times in the drought and with zero water allocation.
"Overall, we want people to know it is okay to reach out and to talk and feel comfortable with your environment."
