Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson admits he Battles Depression

Former wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has battled depression three times in his life, and he opens up about it.
Johnson, 42, says the first low point of his life was at 18 while on a full football scholarship at the University of Miami. After facing a few injuries, Johnson says things started to take a turn for the worse – “I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t want to do a thing, I didn’t want to go anywhere. I was crying constantly. Eventually you reach a point where you are all cried out.”
Overlooked by the NFL, Johnson eventually joined the Canadian Football League. But when he was cut from team, he began hitting rock bottom. On top of that, Johnson says his state of mind started filtering into his personal life. “The dreams I had, they’re dashed. There is no more football,” he revealed. “My relationship was crushed. That was my absolute worst time.”
It was only after quitting football for good that Johnson said he began building a new life for himself as a professional wrestler.
With the help of his dad, a pro wrestler himself, Johnson would go on to become the WWE superstar known as “The Rock.”
“It wound up being one of the greatest chapters in my life,” he says.
Still, his 2008 divorce from Dany Garcia sparked another bout of depression. “Once I manned up and became accountable for the mess I was in, that’s when it hit me,” said Johnson. “What kind of a dad does this make me? What kind of a man will I now become? Failing at marriage and as a husband was a heavy thing, and divorce had that special way of knocking me on my ass.” Source: Warmjello.com
