I’ve recently dealt with health anxiety and it is no joke but now I can confidently say that I have completely recovered and am not moving forward with my life
Can’t believe I watched this guy play in highschool in Alabama one time. Pretty sure he scored like 40 and went like 15/17 or some crazy stats he really was unstoppable. Big white boy dominating in Alabama was so crazy!
Basketball is the only therapy I acc get
😥😥😥😥😥😥
"Success is not immune to depression"
samething happen to me…anxiety killed my basketball drive…I was so scared to get on the court again thinking it would happen again…so i quit playing ball…i was scared to work, hard to leave home……I feel like Ben Simmons is going thru something like this and he is not saying anything.
Lebron did this
I really appreciate Kevin Love opening about his mental health struggles. It definitely helped me understand that’s it’s okay to open up about it and it’s a sign of strength. Thank you
Much respect for him opening up about this It helps a lot of people out there. People with anxiety attacks aren’t weak it’s actually is a very tough thing to deal with especially if you’ve never had it before it can be crippling. God bless anyone out there going dealing with it.
You would be surprised just how many people suffer with mental health, even those who always put a smile on their faces. You are not alone and there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Be open about it, speak to someone and remember you aren't alone. Sending love to you all
Very good interview.
I'm suffering anxiety and panic attacks. I'm really struggling right now. This is a great video. I'm in therapy and getting help. I go to work and try my best. People like this really help folk like me.
Handsome, young, successful, career, wealthy. Wow 🤯😓
What’s “menthol health”?
It can be extra hard for an athlete because they are told to fight through the pain, but as people with panic attacks know, the more you fight it the worse it becomes, you have to give yourself time to recover, and that's kinda hard when it's the playoffs and people's jobs and millions of dollars are on the line.
Thank you Kevin! Real one
❤❤❤❤God is NO respect or of persond

Such a beautiful man 😔
I have also anxiety and i am afraid playing basketball because when i feel my heart after running chasing the ball at the court and my heart beats fast like it will explode and i start to panic, that is why i am worry about it. You can't play beacuse of it.
