Thx fam, he wrote. Hardest thing sometimes (especially men) is asking for help. I wish I did. Youre never alone. Speak up.
The Ballers star, best known for his testosterone-fueled roles in action flicks, revealed that one of the things that helped him the most during his low points was realizing that he wasnt the only one battling the mental illness.

I found that, with depression, one of the most important things you could realize is that youre not alone, the 43-year-old WWE alum said in the video clip. Youre not the first to go through it; youre not going to be the last to go through it. And oftentimes it happens you just feel like youre alone. You feel like its only you. Youre in your bubble. And I wish I had someone at that time who could just pull me aside and [say], Hey, its gonna be okay. Itll be okay. So, I wish I knew that.

Johnson explained that he first struggled with depression after he was cut from his football team and had to live in his parents basement, calling it a real low point in his life.
But in retrospect, the actor admitted, that period helped him to figure out his career trajectory, letting go of his visions of football fame and instead pursuing wrestling. (His father was the famous wrestler Rocky Johnson.)
Hold onto that fundamental quality of faith, he said of trusting the hardships along with the triumphs. Have faith that on the other side of your pain is something good. It wound up being one of the greatest chapters in my life.
