doesn’t surprise me, everyone has a mental health problem now.
I get it mental health especially when it’s gets really bad is out of control and something that should always be talent seriously. The problem is people take advantage of the issue so they don’t have to do anything instead of actually having a mental health issue
The problem is bad mental health issues are being ignored and acted like it’s normal and ok. Now people can claim anxiety and not do a thing if they don’t want to. Society is weak now and crumbling by the year IMO.
I doubt the guy is actively choosing to not play baseball over made up mental health issues.
This guy isn’t for sure, and people In sports and the public eye rarely take advantage of the mental health issue, is everyday people who take advantage of it
Yeah I suffer from it, it’s been a constant battle over my life. The worst part is when people don’t respect the realness of it and are dismissive and ridicule you. So not only are you struggling with winning against your brain but you’re struggling to be in a world where people call you weak and pathetic and taking advantage of a situation.
No doubt the time where you can’t get out of your own head and fell like there is no way out are the hardest, it’s just crazy to me that there are some people out there that try to take advantage of mental health
Thanks, man. I'm feeling much better. It'll never really go away, but I've just accepted it and am gonna rock with what I've got. Have a great holiday break, my guy!
Exactly. I think you said you were a younger guy? I am, as well. There are a lot of younger fellas faking anxiety/depression or over exaggerating it to get out of doing things or be the "cool kid." It's a lot of those Tok Tickers or whatever, lol. It makes life harder on me to seek help because how can I prove I'm not faking it, too? Glad I got help, though. My doctor was awesome.
For sure, I had somebody I know fake mental health issues to get out of work because they were behind and wanted to work from home instead of the office, it makes me mad because I know somebody who legit has a really bad mental health spells and how people can take advantage of a serious issue is crazy to me
Same here. I am a fellow anxiety disorder warrior. I battle it and a couple of other issues every day. This is no joke. I wish you well. If anyone needs to talk, message me.
@blubo
Oh good, this is your contribution to a thread about anxiety and mental illness? To tag and defend your online buddy who posted a shitty political meme? Glad your priorities are in order. You guys are like the dog from Up. No actual conversation, just buzz words and quick turns to "look over there!"
I didn’t realize just how crippling anxiety was until I met my wife. She has it bad and is medicated for it. Still is absolutely crippling for her at times. I hope Austin gets the help he needs and gets back in a good space to play.
I deal with it too. Talk about emptiness and feeling alone.
I didn’t say him specifically but I tell you this, nobody when I grew up took off for anxiety.
Fetterman legit has issues that he shouldn’t be in office for.
People when you grew up also used to have conniption fits and mental breakdowns when a black family moved into their subdivision lol. Your generation is the most mentally weak generation in the history of the US
First off you have no idea my generation and I can tell you’re definitely a millennial or Gen Z bum.
Wrong. Well before you went political and for some reason brought Blubo into it, I contributed to this thread by showing compassion for the baseball player. Enjoy your day.
You are right, they all just lost their jobs or committed suicide because no one thought their problems were real. Unfortunately, I have had several close to me deal with serious anxiety, depression issues that led to suicide because they were told to "quit worrying about it" or "just move on". A major league baseball player is not using anxiety as an excuse to get a few days off work and take a vacation. While I'm sure some people may do that, they are assholes and have less to lose than a major league baseball player. To discount someone that is actively seeking help for this condition, and is willing to have it publicized subjecting him to ridicule by fans and the public, is just ignorant and selfish. I hope those of you that are critical never have to deal with this.
