He said, &#8220;I just knew I didn&#8217;t want to be there. Wasn&#8217;t going to any of the team meetings. Wasn&#8217;t participating in anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Identifying Depression<\/h3>\n<p>Johnson went on to explain that he experienced depression again in 2008 after going through a divorce from Dany Garcia. However, it was these first two experiences that helped him identify what was happening when he became depressed again in 2017. He said, &#8220;Knew what it was at that time. And luckily, at that time, I had some friends who I could lean on and say, &#8216;You know, I&#8217;m feeling a little wobbly now. Got a little struggle happening. I&#8217;m seeing a little gray and not the blue.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>His Saving Grace<\/h3>\n<p>Johnson credits his three daughters as his &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/review-jordan-b-petersons-beyond-order-12-more-rules-for-life\/\" title=\"Review: Jordan B. Peterson\u2019s \u2018Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life\u2019\">saving grace<\/a>&#8221; during tough times. He said, &#8220;You look at them, and you realize, &#8216;Well, I mean, really, this is what it&#8217;s all about.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Talking About Mental Health<\/h3>\n<p>Johnson took to social media to promote the podcast interview and encourage others to talk about their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/naomi-osaka-representing-japan-knocked-from-olympics-in-stunning-upset\/\" title=\"Naomi Osaka, Representing Japan, Knocked From Olympics In Stunning Upset\u00a0\">mental health struggles<\/a>. He wrote, &#8220;If you&#8217;re going thru your own version of mental wellness turning into mental hell-ness, the most important thing you can do is talk to somebody. It can&#8217;t be fixed if you keep that pain inside. Having the courage to talk to someone is your superpower.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He also shared the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which is available 24\/7 at 1-800-273-8255.<\/li>\n<li>Johnson concluded his post by saying, &#8220;Talk to someone. Despite how you may feel, you&#8217;re never alone.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s essential to remember that mental health struggles are common and that it&#8217;s okay to seek help. Talking to someone can make all the difference, and it&#8217;s a sign of strength, not weakness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dwayne Johnson, also known as &#8220;The Rock,&#8221; revealed his struggles with depression on the podcast &#8220;The Pivot.&#8221; The actor and former wrestler shared that his first bout with depression happened after a shoulder injury ended his football career at the University of Miami.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":345,"featured_media":1931964,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[26910,9880,3730,3745],"class_list":["post-1931963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-bouts","tag-depression","tag-rock","tag-talks"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1931963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1931963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1931963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1931964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1931963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1931963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1931963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
