Short one today, & it feels so good to be able to post a short one – specifically bc – the athlete/celeb is – THEMSELVES sharing the “stuff” & not just the label & treatment.
Carey in revealing more as time goes on, lists the “stuff”: losing in the finals (not achieving goals), a surgery/injury, coming towards the end of his career, leading to psychological pain & therefore challenging &/or poor behaviors: not being a happy person or a good father…leading to negative coping mechanisms: alcohol/drinking too much.
This is a relatable formula to all of us: 1) the stuff leads to the 2) psychological pain & bad behavior, leads to 3) negative coping mechanism.
Each of those 3 may be unique to each of us, but the formula is a human formula. ALL. OF. US. If every celeb shared this way, this narrative would be normalized so much faster…mental health is for all.
