MENS MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS: Legendary #Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin has talked about struggling with mental health post-playing career and the serious effects it caused to his family 💔 “I would say that I was clinically depressed for at least eight months. I’m tired. My first daughter, my whole world has shifted and changed in the blink of an eye, and I did not really have prior examples of discipline in my life on how to manage and deal with this properly. Even the guys who have retired before me. They all struggled, and I couldn't lean on them because I knew a struggle was coming. You can’t really plan for that. Eight months of pure hell.” “I remember one day, and I was sitting down in the chair, and my wife was on the floor playing with our daughter, and I started crying. My wife was like: “Are you alright? What is wrong?” And I said: “I don’t know.” That was when I got my third counselor.” “I can route you up and catch this ball, turn around and talk sh*t to you, and I am in control of that. That’s a really powerful feeling. When you don’t have that, you know? I am lost. I am completely and utterly lost. I don’t know which way is up, and I've got this baby in front of me, my wife, this house, and I’m 30 years old. I gotta figure this out. It was rough. It had a significant impact on my family.” This is sadly something that many athletes go through 🙏🙏🙏
