Simone Biles

Well, at that point, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and I kind of knew I was depressed, but I hit it so well because I train 34 hours a week. So what do I always do whenever I'm at home? I'm in my room laying down, resting, resting, resting. But I knew this resting was very different. Like it was hard to get out of bed. It was hard to do anything.

It felt like everything felt heavy in the end of the world. And again, a lot of sleepless, crying nights. Like why me? Because I... It's just like, and then you kind of play victim, and then it seems like, again, nobody can relate to you, nobody's listening, nobody is, I trusted this person, this, that, the other.

So it just felt very, I wouldn't even say dehumanizing, but it felt like I held a lot of the guilt that wasn't mine to hold.

Yes, and I think that was the hardest for me to process and I learned through therapy like yes This is not my guilt to hold but to convince myself that because it's easier said than done But to convince myself that I was really really hard and I think I'm still working on that in therapy like it's gotten a lot better and I feel comfortable and now I can have conversations and and stuff like that.

But yeah, I have good days. I have bad days. But I also know that that doesn't define me.

Yes, and that's, I think... As an athlete, that was the hardest thing for me to process too because, you know, if you get injured, you go to the doctor and they're like, okay, three to six months or three weeks or whatever. And this is like years. And I'm like, why do I not feel better? Like if a doctor could sit down and tell me, I'd be great.

Because I thought like, oh, three to six months, three to six weeks. It's like... we're always on timeline with injuries. So whenever it's a mental injury or a physical injury that you're going through like that with depression and anxiety, and nobody can give you a timeline, it feels like it's never ending. And I was like, I just don't understand. I should be fine by now.
