SOCIETY AND MENTAL HEALTH

I used to imagine hurting myself to get out of high-pressure situations.
 

I remember crying in the shower when I was 12 or 13.. my premier soccer team had just won the semi-finals and was moving onto the championships.
 

I should have been excited!
I should have been happy and proud to be a part of that team.

What was really going on?

Thoughts Going Through The Mind

Instead of being excited and happy about moving into championships - I was SO anxious about the game, worrying about whether I’d be good enough and imagining mistakes I didn’t want to make.
 

I wondered what it would be like if I just slipped in the shower and broke my arm or leg.
 

“Then I wouldn’t have to play! I would be free of all this stress & pressure” I thought.

These thoughts continued as I got older and as I continued to not handle my anxiety or emotions.

When It's Too Much Anxiety

At 21 I got pulled from a University volleyball game because we were losing.


No feedback from the coach – no idea if they were just trying to mix it up or if they thought

it was my fault.

My mind started spiralling.
I started feeling more anxiety and worthlessness.

 

That night when I got home, no one was around..

  • I broke down in sobs and began punching a wall
  • I punched until I couldn’t anymore
  • My knuckles were chipped, swollen and bruised

I told everyone I slipped on ice because I was too afraid to tell the truth😔

“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and
more unashamed conversation.“
