Presley didn't at all mind the fact Justin was asking questions right of the bat. It meant that, despite the fact he wasn't 100% well right now, he was still willing to engage Presley in conversation and there was an interest there. Presley knew quite distinctly how someone with bipolar could completely disengage in life, and everything around them. He had seen it numerous times with his mum. He took a seat at his desk and located the leaflets and flyers he had about his organisation, and what support and programs they were able to offer young people with mental illness and handed them over so they could all have the information to read later and take in more. "I've attached my card there too with all my contact details. You can call anytime you need. Even if I can't pick up, I'll get back in touch as soon as I can. To answer the easy questions first... All we would want from Justin is what he wants to - and can - give. We don't put any of our representatives in a place they can't cope with. I'll be honest here, I think, Justin, you're a wonderful possibility as an ambassador for our organisation. What that means is you are someone who has been there, you know what the struggles are like, and you would be in a position speak about being in that dark place with your illness, yet overcoming it to work and be successful with the right help and support. Which is what we are helping young people with mental health with. We fund various programs and support systems so they have help in achieving the ambitions they have and thought they can no longer achieve. Or even those who have never had the ability to form ambitions, we have people who can work with them to set some goals for themselves and nurture talents they have that the illness may have drowned out. All we would hope from Justin was to promote those aims, and share with people how his illness was able to be balanced with enjoying life again. That's the epitome of why I started this organisation. There's no timeframe or limit we would expect of him. Just being an example the young people can identify with. The impact of that can be incredible for them. Young people search out idols to admire and aspire to be. I would wager a bet Kevin Bacon is that for you, Justin?" he guessed with a smile.

He paused, because Justin's questions were a lot harder than the information his parents were seeking. He shook his head. "But no, I don't have a mental illness myself. But my mother had bipolar. She went quite a few years undiagnosed because she lived and worked in Vegas, and there, everything is fast moving. Her manic episodes were skewed, no one recognised the signs. She certainly didn't. But once she was diagnosed after a distinctly impacting episode on our lives, she was controlled with medication. Though, she fell into the trap of figuring if she felt good, she must be getting better and stopped taking the medication. Once she did that, it was hard to get her back onto it because the side effects are tough, and they take awhile to work again. Without getting into any details right of the bat, but I would be comfortable sharing if you wanted me to, she committed suicide within weeks of my finishing my Masters degree and returning to New York to live. Even though we all knew she was ill, and she had a history of self-harm, this all still felt very sudden. There was no warning, she just did it."
