Ain't that the truth. We had a player on my high school team off himself during my sophomore year. He was a great player, was very popular with both teachers and fellow students, got good grades and came from a pretty well off family.
But the worst suffering you can go through is from shit rattling around in your own head.
I myself went through some shit when I came back from deployment. Went two years before I reached out. At any point in there I could have seen myself eating the business end of a gun.
Seriously, to anyone out there thinking about hurting themselves, it is a passing feeling. It feels like it will be like this forever, but it won't. Don't do something stupid. There is help out there.
Well said. Depression is real and torture for those that have it. Peace to this young man, his family, team and friends.Ain't that the truth.

The first time I can remember my dad telling me he loved me was when I was 25 and right after he heard about Tony Dungy’s son committing suicide. It felt weird because we don’t show emotions in our family. Every time I talked to him after that we said it to each other.Makes you want to check in with your own kids even if you believe their lives are the most perfect world you try to create for them.....

I wonder if this could be CTE related?
yeah, but they say signs of CTE can show up very early on in someone's playing career.He was only 21, right? I never understood the cowardly act of suicide. So sad.
My dad and I were just like you and your dad, but with my boys (just now teens) I make damn sure I tell them I love them and proud of them.
