Brisbane's great bronchos (in the photo with his wife Rachel) said he felt so lost that he considered taking his life when he was only 13 years old.

“And if I had someone like Tommy Herschell in my life as a child, maybe I would have shared many of these stories much earlier in my life.”

The raw admission caused his partner to be a celebrity star like Nicky Buckley shed a tear.

Thaiday, who played 304 games for Brisbane in a star race from 2003 to 2018, was born from a father of Torres Strait Isander, Billy.

He previously opened over his battles with depression, which led him to have more suicidal thoughts when he was 15 years old.

The former star of Queensland's origin was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was a child and sent to a special school at age 12.

“I wanted to turn left and screw … I felt silly and worthy and thinking” What's wrong with me? “Thaiday said.

'' I hid behind comedy and humor and being the great Sam adorable, but inside I fell apart.

'I still realize when I have to read something in front of people. I hate live readings on the radio because I don't want to fill it and people think I'm dumb. '

When he had only 15 things, things were so bad that he considered taking his life, even standing in a dam in which he imagined jumping.

Thaiday (in the photo scoring an attempt for Queensland in 2011) was also diagnosed with 12 -year -old dyslexia, in another coup for his mental health, but has overcome

'I arrived at school and put football and told Mom that I was going to kick him in the park, but instead of going to the park, I rode the dam and there was a hole in the fence and sat there silently … blank, 'said Thaiday.

'I didn't care much at that time. It didn't matter if I fell or jumped.

At that time, Thaiday convinced himself 'Nobody would care about' if he jumped and that nobody would look for him.

The father of two kept the experience in secret for almost 20 years until he visited a therapist.

That experience saw him choose to make public with his struggles in the hope of being able to help young people who are experiencing the same thoughts.

“In some days I am super confused with what I want to do with my life, but it is also good that I can see that fight now and I know what to do with it,” Thaiday said in 202.

“It is an opportunity to grow, move and break that cycle.”

In addition to raising funds for FND I Feet, Thaiday is an ambassador to the Starlight Foundation, which helps sick Australians.

In 2018, the former striker, known for his outgoing personality and his sense of humor, was news when he announced his retirement when dressing as older people and delivering the news in a retirement village in Brisbane.

“This is quite good as I felt for three seasons … I feel sore, tired and definitely bald,” he told the media.

'I have always been a bit different in everything I have done, but I have always been faithful to myself and I have done things in my way.

“So this is my way of being remembered.”
