On World Mental Health Day, Michael Turlin tells Sky News how he is helping others open up via an unusual method - his Bentley.

A month later, my mum Mary passed away. She had been suffering from dementia and had a fatal stroke.

I woke up one morning and said to my wife:"I'm leaving." I been saying to her for weeks:"There's something not right with me." I knew there was something wrong.I was in a terribly lonely place. I would sit in my empty apartment and have all this weird stuff going around in my head. I was given medication but it was only when I came out of hospital that I was able to turn my life around.

After getting an unexpected tax rebate, I was approaching my 60th birthday and thought: 'What do I do with the money? Do I spend it on a really nice holiday? Or do I buy something that's special?'I had it delivered without even looking at it. It's a 2004 Bentley GT Continental which I've since had customised so it's bright white with gold and has the words"Living The Dream" written on it.

“Look I have a Bentley!!”

This is a great story, but not all mentally challenged people can afford to buy their dream car or house Some can’t even afford to eat I’m glad this has worked for you but it isn’t the be all and end all for mental health sufferers facing suicide

Lemme get this right....he lost his job and home.....got a massive “tax rebate” (👀🤔) then bought himself a 200k Bentley.....but no house no ? Hahaha cooool story bro !!!

I've never understood 'I tried to kill myself'. In the majority of cases if someone genuinely wanted to end their life they could. Trying is a cry for help. Harsh but I think true.

Wake up, you thick knacks!, they tried a tine-cakculus killing here, so precise, you would vomit, It was their fantasy, a 9)11, attack, in my kitchen. Ireland, is a failed state.
