NHL star Seth Jarvis opens up about his mental health:

“Probably around 16 or 17, I think I really started to realize the impact it’s having on me. I didn’t like how it was making me feel. I thought I lost a lot of my personality and who I was and I was just kind of there. I wasn’t really present in the moment and I think that’s when I realized my mental health was kind of draining me and bringing me down I still really didn’t even talk to anybody about it, but I would look up techniques and just listen to stories of other people going through it and just trying to grab advice from them and so now that I’m getting a better handle on it, I’m hoping to do the same for others I think everyone’s going through something obviously people are going through different things in life I think just knowing you’re not alone and there’s always something that someone’s fighting and no matter what the scale it’s all important”
