Dwayne Johnson, a famous actor, recently spoke up about his personal life. actor shared his struggles with depression. He claimed that he initially experienced depression while attending the University of Miami, where he sustained a shoulder injury that prevented him from participating in football.
The actor claimed that his three girls and "being a girl dad" have been his "saving grace" amid his bouts of despair, saying, As you see them, you come to the realization, "Well, truly, this is what it's all about.
"As men, we didn't talk about it. We just kept our heads down and worked through it. Not healthy but it's all we knew," he wrote. "If you're going through your own version of mental wellness turning into mental hell-ness, the most important thing you can do is talk to somebody. It can't be fixed if you keep that pain inside. Having the courage to talk to someone is your superpower. I lost two friends to suicide. Talk to someone. Despite how you may feel, you're never alone," Johnson shared on Instagram.
"I didn't want to go to school," he said. "I was ready to leave. I left school. I didn't take any midterms, and I just left. But the interesting thing, at that time, is I just didn't know what it was. I didn't know what mental health was. I didn't know what depression was. I just knew I didn't want to be there, wasn't going to any of the team meetings, wasn't participating in anything."
He also explained that he couldn't work out due to his injury, which made what he was going through even tougher as an athlete. "Years later, I went through it again when I got a divorce. Didn't know what it was," he continued. "Years later, around 2017 or so, went through a little bit. I knew what it was at that time, and luckily, at that time, I had some friends who I could lean on, and say, 'You know, I'm feeling a little wobbly now. Got a little struggle happening. I'm seeing a little grey and not the blue.'"
