Delonte West Really Fell Off

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Mental health being off is all it takes. A lot of people are on the streets because of failing mental health. Everyone just assumes it's mostly drugs. People live with their issues for life. There's no healing just coping right which is balance

I said on here that Kanye would be going thru it for life and one poster was really mad, calling me all types of names. Like I killed his hope but shyt like bipolar disorders doesn't go away. You either balance it to live a normal life or it consumes you.

I wanna hear his story about how he fell off to this point?. He was literally a rich NBA player to homeless and live on the street.

Yeah but I still wanna hear his story and how come nobody around him like friends/family help him?.

Mark Cuban was the only one who helped him

My guy I got family like this. You can't do the impossible. It's a 24-7 job trying to manage someone like this and they are always teetering on hitting the bottom at the drop of a hat. Despite Mark helping him he's back out there. Now think of all the people who were not publicly identified as helping him who have also tried. It's like stopping the tide from coming in. D gets to a point where he is doing decent and then falls off. Constant cycle.

His story is the story of many others trying to live with similar mental issues, it's a delicate balance. Him at his best wouldn't recognize him at his worst. He in there moving like a passenger in his own vehicle.

No idea . I don't know the story of him getting on drugs or mental illness if that's the case. I do know like with the Maia Campbell it was a case of her losing her moms and her not being able to cope.

Breh could still be playing internationally somewhere making a decent living…

He's not on the street for lack of opportunity... Being in Europe wouldn't change his health and the care he needs to live.

It's crazy how important mindset is. Lebron became a billionaire this week and Delonte out here begging on the streets. They used to be teammates!

I've heard nothing about him being a mental illness when he was in the NBA til this story.

Lebron doesn't have a mental illness...

Think of it like cancer if it helps you process that it's not about mindset but illness. It's not a choice... It's an affliction

The sooner we start to understand this the faster we can move on to relevant questions about addressing these issues. The stigma is crazy
