Kevin Love has impacted the lives of millions through his mental health advocacy, including one of our own.
I use the word near purposely.
The piece resonated strongly. It was a difficult and brave journey for Love to take, becoming one of the first NBA players and superstars to discuss mental health through a very public medium. It would lead to Love becoming a leading voice forFollowing the piece, Love tweeted an email address and asked people to share their mental illness stories with him, promising he would read every one.
Upon seeing your follow-up tweet, I figured I would share my own story with you. I’m relatively open about it, but don’t really feel that I’m ready to publish the story on an outlet such as ours at cleveland.com or yours. It all came to a head when I was supposed to take a college visit, which meant traveling on a plane. I’d never loved flying, but never really had an issue with it until this given day. I had a panic attack, much like the one you described, and refused to leave my bed to get on the plane. The dread of facing the world and the fear of something happening on the plane was too much for me to bear.And the help worked.
It got to the point where I was working out two hours a day and eating maybe 800 calories just so that I wouldn’t pass out. I hope that you too can get to a very happy and normal place in your life and that you can stay in that place forever.
