In this raw and unfiltered episode of It's About DAMN Time, Jarratt opens up about the silent struggle of being "everyone's person"—the strong friend who holds it all together while feeling like the world is crumbling underneath.
He shares his personal battle with mental health, the burnout that comes with always being the go-to support system, and how the constant weight of expectations can leave you running on empty.
"The very thought of contacting somebody made me weep. Not cry, not shed tears, not have a little sigh. I wept." — Jarratt DAMN
