Unseen Struggles: Athletes and celebrities on mental health (Full Episode)

[@haydenpeairs4635]

Get outside, stay active, stay busy, and destress appropriately. Much easier said than done. God bless those fighting demons.

[@jandrashriker5861]

I mean most of these guys job involve getting outside, staying active, and busy. Destressing in that situation is hard to do that's why you get a panic attack. (not all the time, but that does play a part.)

[@LoudPet636]

Those help but those alone won’t fix it.

I started having anxiety and feeling depressed at 10 years old in (1992), 32 years ago. Went through so much mental, emotional, physical trauma as a kid in the 1980's to 1990's at home and at school. The depression and anxiety during the day turned into me having Night Tremors when I tried to go to bed at night as a kid. I dealt with having the Night Tremors for 7 years (from "92" to "99") . I would be lying down in bed, my eyes closed trying to fall asleep and my body would start shaking really bad for like 20 to 30 minutes before I could completely fell asleep. The anxiety and depression still sticks with me from time to time as a 42 year old Man in 2024. I stopped having the night tremors after I turned 17. I think that I've just been through so much trauma as kid that when I started to become an adult I learned to just emotionally and mentally numb those thoughts out of my mind and think about it anymore. The anxiety and depression isn't as bad now as it was when I was a kid, but comes back every couple weeks. Also I think the symptoms I dealt with back then came from having to be my own father mentally, emotional, physically at times, being raised in a single parent household from age 7. (1989). Made me have to grow up faster then other kids I grew up with at school. Having to learn mostly everything you know in life from school, society & Television shows or movies. Father wasn't around and mom worked over 40 - 50+ hours a week at work to provide for the family. My mom didn't believe in showing mental, emotional or moral support to me in anything I did growing up. I think the only time I heard "I love you" from her to me was on my birthday and during Christmas. Every other month of the year she wasn't that big on showing emotional and moral support to me. I would not wish what I had went through as a kid on anyone, no matter how much I didn't or don't like that person today. No Child, Teen, Young Adult, and Man or Woman should have to go through that much Trauma, Stress, Anxiety and depression growing up. 🙏

Sir thank you for doing this, I've recently been struggling with GAD, my doctor said the pandemic has effect everyone's mental health. The best thing I could do is open up about it, I'm 3 months in, without meds, feeling better. Keep on chugging 🚂

[@rsvp89]

I like that men are talking about their pain and struggles outloud!! Society puts too much pressure on boys to be strong and provide for themselves and everyone they care for.

[@garymcaleer6112]

Good post, Graham. Those you interview most always show their humility to discuss their struggles & weakness. Each time this happens I'm reminded of the Apostle Paul's words: "for when I am weak, then am I strong."

[@shelleylannon2245]

Thank you for this! Been struggling with shortness of breath after being infected with covid in May 2020. I'm losing everything. Being a hero in that pandemic was the biggest lie they told us front line workers. Now in my 40's I may never work again. Covid causes severe depression and anxiety!! Those early varients destroyed millions of lives.

[@tonybayarea]

Thank you Lindsey Vonn for reaching out and helping kids that deal with Anxiety, depression and cut themselves. I used to cut my arms with razor blades when I was a teen in the 1990's. I used to take away the mental and emotional trauma for a short period and then would have to do it again a couple days later. For almost 3 years would slice my arms with the blades almost every week for like 36 months. Friends and people at school would ask me what happened to my arms, would lie to them and say I feel down or got hurt doing something else. Friends always used to ask me, why are your arms always cut all the time. Never told anyone the truth friends, people at school or family at home. Would always try to wear long sleeves shirt when I could so people won't ask me about my arms being cut. I started cutting my arms at 12 years old and stopped cutting my arms when I got in high school at 14 years old (1996). Haven't cut my arms on purpose in 28 years, but those memories and mental pain and trauma still stick with me till this day as a 42 year old man. Grateful to still be alive in 2024 after everything I've been through almost the past three decades. This is my first time mentioning to anyone that I used to cut my arm as a teen back in the "90's". 🙏

This should have millions of views

[@COVID...19]

I think people instinctively know it BS though.

[@gabrielamunoz1033]

Thank you for all of the testimony. Been there, still there, work in progress but thank you for this. 🙏🏻 knowing you’re not alone, makes you feel less crazy. God bless y’all. Stay in alignment w our Saviour, our Father, what He provides, is all the strength you need. Praying for everyone going through mental illness and feels misunderstood or alone- you’re not. I love you all💛 🙏🏻💚. God bless ❤

[@j.gravett2878]

This was really good & timely!! Maybe it should be shown before movies, as a trailer, rather than all the violent car crash crap, etc. Make people think!

[@GregHamm-oh7cl]

Thanks Graham! Maybe the best among your many great editions.

[@gc8972b]

men talking about their pain to another man, not Oprah. that's legit.

[@gabrielamunoz1033]

I agree. It’s ok to not be ok. Esp men who are taught to not be vulnerable. To not fear. To be the “man”. I have a son, and I pray he sees my growth in my mental health. As a single mother trying to raise a man, it’s hard for me. However, I don’t shy away from letting him know, it’s ok to not be ok. Therapy helps! It like a puzzle of your life you’re trying to put together. Also and most interestingly, is seeking God, listening and applying His teachings along w therapy- I can’t say enough. He is just starting therapy bc he’s 17, but I know what I’ve put him through and to avoid possible future mental problems, i feel acknowledging his painful, silent fears will then help in making a healed man for his future wife, children and society. Men, I’m proud of y’all. Stick to being honest: at least w yourselves. God bless 🙏🏻

[@richardberry997]

Thank you for putting this together.

[@carlborman5165]

Thank you for this. Makes me feel less alone less weird. This pandemic this Isolation made me realize alot about myself. Super scary stuff. To deal with that alone was/is the hardest thing ever. Cheers from montreal

[@loganaikas9157]

Thank you for posting this.

[@tomnohmy1273]

Thx Graham for bringing this to light.

[@whitneywilliams317]

Yeah suicide no joke. I have those thoughts nearly everyday now. Luckily I'm still here...... now.

[@Marco-717]

Please don't ever do it. Dedicate some time to a church. Feed the poor. Care for kids that don't have parents. Life is more than what it seems. Reading the Bible helped me a lot. More than any drug. More than exercise

[@KrishNa-zu6iw]

my guy we all have a purpose, you don’t have to read the Bible or anything, you can if you want to, but just remember we all have a purpose, find your purpose and keep pushing on, soon you’ll realize you’re too valuable to be lost🤟 u got people looking out for you, you don’t have to look to god to see that, look in the mirror, that’s where ur motivation lies!

[@Marco-717]

@@KrishNa-zu6iw so you just come up with information out of thin air? You don't read any books? Get real already. You've sinned against God. I'm sure you know the ten commandments. Jesus died on the cross for your sins only if you repent and trust in Him. I don't want you to go to hell, so get right with God before it's too late. Start in Genesis if you really want to debate whether or not the Bible is the Word of God

Tom hanks really made great points ima think about that for now on

[@chicstyleandawinningsmile3085]

Beautiful upload, thanks for sharing! Have a calm and relaxed day! Stay healthy and safe! 👍😊🍓

[@normantumusiimire]

I have attempted suicide 4times unsuccessfully, but I remember it's the scariest thing ever. You feel want to lose your life to take away the pain but still yearn for something that could take that pain away and let you live again.

Thank you for posting this. 💕

Thank you 🙏 all for sharing

[@tonysoprano9370]

If your depressed your doing something wrong in the way you live your life. Fix that before you take medication. Everything has a cause. But nobody talks about fixing the cause. Most people are too stressed, no sleep or little sleep. Don’t eat right and don’t exercise. And then wonder why they feel depressed? Give your body and mind a fighting chance. Before anyone says it. I’ve had it my whole life. And the only way out is to bring balance to life and look after yourself.

[@1966-k3z]

Take care of yourselves, love yourselves, you all deserve it.

[@kitecommunications7633]

Read a book called 'Demons and Depression, Mental Illness and Possession’ - about the horrors of suicidal levels of depression after a hideously bad LSD trip. It really describes the details of depressive insanity clearly and how the author was suddenly cured. Hope this helps anyone out there. x

[@aidansanchez3095]

[@johnioannou5597]

All of these people have had periods of depression over things that normally cause depression. I’ve lived with it my whole life and had no reasons to be depressed. If I had a reason, it would be over petty things. If any of these people were me for just one day, they would be counting the seconds till they could jump back into themselves again. So give me a fucking break!

Tom Hanks movies are dead. We know too much....well some of us do.

[@Randall2023]

Good morning brother

[@m.halcyon5772]

The common thread is loneliness, not having those around you who notice you're cup isn't full and who provide the emotional preventative maintenance to get you through it. John Lennon was right; it is a need.

[@NeoMK]

Tom hanks is a multi-millionaire. Why is he sitting in what reminds me of my little sisters room?

[@Bale4Bond]

He was probably about to fiddle a kid once the interview wrapped up

[@telemachus7732]

Funny thing They have everything except a spiritual side

[@ffdjr1313]

Imagine just being a normal lower middle class nobody in 2020. Like the majority of us. I’m so sorry Tom Hanks struggled so hard.

[@mtadams2009]

I have been poor and I have been wealthy. My mental health has been up and down rich or poor. Sadly many people believe money will fix all that ills them. I wish that was true. Actually some of my best points of my life I have had the least amount of money. Not sure why. I guess because as you make more money you also take on much more responsibility and the stress that goes with it.

[@ffdjr1313]

Scott Gibson appreciate hearing that man. Thanks for your input. It just blows my mind hearing this bs from of all people Tom Hanks. 😢😢😢

[@BuMbLeBaLLs]

Stop acting.

[@turdferguson2839]

Awww, these poor rich, famous people, being away from the spotlight for a year must've been so traumatic. Must be difficult being trapped in your 6,000 square foot mansion in the Hollywood hills while all the normal people still had to work or go on welfare.

[@dakprescott12hunnitnfceast54]

Prescott loss his brother to suicide and recently his mother. There is more to life than money, brother.
