Stephen Tierney says it was the mental injuries that took the longest to heal from with him still suffering from PTSD 12 years after he was stabbed eight times in an attack near Queen Street Station.

A dad who attempted to take his own life following a brutal attempted murder bid has returned to George Square for the first time after more than a decade.

"I don't know how I walked away. I was lying in the hospital bed in tears because my son, Stefan, was a year old at the time and I wanted to get back to him. He continued: "It turned my entire life upside down. I went from being a happy father to being full of anger and aggressive and I didn't know why because that's not who I am. I was getting agitated and my thought process wasn't right.

Stephen says he would often get flashbacks to the attack which would leave him unable to get out of bed in the morning. He admits to feelings of worthlessness, and that he was a burden to his family. At the time he was also taking pain medication to help him sleep. "My brain is fragmented and it is stuck in a point of time and will take me back to protect itself but it is also very powerful and people don't understand that. I learned from Bruce Lee and started doing self-healing and it worked.
