I don't really know how people experience things like anxiety, boredom, helplessness etc once they are old enough to be independent. Like I remember being a kid and wondering what the fukk I was going to do with my day and how simple shyt in the future would be something to look forward to but who the fukk has time for those thoughts as an adult? Not trying to be insensitive, I just don't understand.
Breh u cant control anxiety. Thats not how it works. It can hit u anytime for whatever reason.

Peace to Kevin Love but I can see why Isaiah spazzed on him (allegedly) in the locker room after one of these episodes. He had to push through his little sister dying, being injured and trying to win a playoff series, while Kevin Love is looking for a pity party pat on the back for his emotional state in a regular season game against the worst team in the nba.

People are truly built differently.

ive never had anxiety or depression but it's something in your brain that you can't just turn on or off it has nothing to do with getting over something or not being strong enough to handle adversity.

I used to think like you that people who have these things are just mentally weak and too get over it till it effected people close to me and listening to them I learned i was ignorant about it.

Nothing to do with white privilege at all...hell we have examples of our black athletes melt down with out explaination as well. ..ala Bron in 2011, Kyle L. needing to decompress against the Cavs, Harden in game 6 last year and many Bros in this thread giving examples...not sure how you can underestimate when the brain/mind starts to interpret something that's really isn't happening as white privilege..

if he was black he would be

"a headcase"
"loose cannon"
"cancer"

ect

I may have talked to the wrong people about it but it too often seems so convenient with the people I've talked to. Like you can't visit your aunt because you're afraid to fly when you really just have no interest in seeing her. Or you can't go to an interview because you're having a panic attack but you really just don't like leaving your safe bubble of friends and family you already know and you'd rather be a kid with no responsibilities forever.

There are times you're not going to have full control of situations or you're not going to get your way. I think some people try to pass off immaturity and laziness as a disability they're just stuck with.

I think anxiety is a real thing but I think most of the people who claim it are just using it as a crutch.

I had a panic attack at my job once. I worked at a call center and for weeks the calls were getting to me...like everytime the phone rang, I had the :to: face to the point where I would pick up the phone and just hang up :lolbron:. My manager hit me up like how come you're taking 50% less calls than everybody else and I was like :yeshrug:beats me. I couldn't fukk around anymore, one day I took a call and during the call I felt like I was having a heart attack bruh, hung up, left the office, went into my car and I thought I was dying and my dumbass decided to drive and I sped thru like 3 red lights(thankfully they weren't busy streets and I didn't live too far away) , I just wanted to go home something bad. Went to work the next day and quit. Never felt anything like that in my life. If you ever worked at a call center and 80% of the calls are complains, you know what I'm talking about. I remember working with people who did 10+ years doing the same thing and they looked miserable and dead inside too. I lasted a year and damn near felt like I was gonna off myself

Good to see others speak up about mental health awareness :salute:

I suffer from anxiety and depression and luckily I've had only one episode of a anxiety/panic attack

I was driving home from work and I noticed my right hand then arm starting locking up so I pulled over to a side street and I just felt a overwhelming feeling that I can't breathe and I honestly thought I was having a heart attack and this was it. Luckily I was able to calm down and shyt and I was so shook, I called my girl to come pick me up and take me home

It was about 10-15 min but it was one of the most scariest shyt ever.

Man I been through the ringer with mental health. Been depressed, suicidal, the whole nine. Don’t get me started on anxiety. One year I barely left my house because of it—had to take a month leave off my job once. Panic attacks almost everyday. It was difficult. Then I watched two of my immediate family members literally go crazy and come back.

Mental health isn’t just a white ppl thing.

I think I may have had a panic attack once, but it coulda just been the weed was so good and I had so much alcohol it was sensory overload. Them strobe lights had me feeling blind. I started panicing. I stepped outside got water and fresh air, and came back in 15 min later fine.

My homies now wife was a longtime smoker, she smoked one night caught a panic attack and has never touched ever since then.
