Uploaded on Mar 9, 2011

November 2009, Michael Kimber was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder at the age of 25. Facing terrifying insomnia and constant anxiety he turned to the Nova Scotian mental health system and was told he would have to wait six months to see a state sponsored therapist. While many of his friends got to this point and stopped looking for help, Michael was lucky enough to have a family that could pay for professional counseling and with the help of friends, family and his first love he recovered.

In November of the 2010, he started the internationally recognized Come Out campaign, encouraging people with mental illness to tell their own stories to show how terrifyingly common mental illness actually is. By speaking for himself, he has encouraged thousands to do the same.

Michael is currently working on a book about his experiences called the Cure, about his own struggle to accept himself and the people that reminded him who he was when he forgot.




Michael wants us to start talking about mental illness. Join the conversation and speak for yourself.

One correction and important one. Jason L Walsh died in 2005. A sincere apology to his friends and family from Egg Films.

    Thisï»ż video is dedicated to my friend Jason Lionel Walsh. He was a good friend of mine and was an incredibly gentle, kind and loving man. At the age of 20 he died as a resultï»ż of his mental illness. No one ever talked to us about seeking help or the tricks your mind can play on you. When I was in my darkest hours, I remembered what it felt like to lose someone as amazing as Jason. Due to my own error the date of his death is wrong in the video. I'm truly sorry to his friends and family.
