Mary O’Brien: “It’s like being bogged, sometimes you can pull yourself out and sometimes you can’t”. Mary is an agronomist from Dalby in Queensland who founded Are You Bogged Mate after losing two mates to drought-related suicide. She has spent her life working in rural and remote Australia and says there’s a disconnect in the way depression is being communicated to country men. Her second language is agriculture, her third is “bloke”, and she’s coming to the Upper Murray to talk to locals in a way that no-one else can. Are You Bogged Mate helps rural blokes talk about mental health, suicide and the ‘mongrel black dog’. She relates depression to getting bogged in the mud - it might just be a sticky patch where you need low range or a winch to pull you out, but what happens when you get properly bogged – when you aren’t going to get out of this one easily? “Country blokes are facing challenges like never before, but it doesn’t mean you need to get stuck in the mud,” Mary said. “There are plenty of places to go to get a tow, and it takes guts to admit you’re bogged.
