Nick Kyrgios speaks on Mental Health
Recently, Nick shared some evidence of his mental breakdown. He revealed how he has been on the dark side of life and no one knew. He also expressed his joy of winning the Australian Open crown. “No one knows what I’ve gone through, all the struggle I’ve overcome. I have self-harmed, was having dark thoughts about life. I always have my back and have all the confidence in the world. I lean on my loved ones,” he said.
He also added that a few years back he was not as close to his family as he is now because they did not get much time together. “My relationship with my family wasn’t great a few years ago because I was always away and didn’t have my family around me. I was winning, losing, going through relationship problems, dealing with other problems. I was pushing them away because you feel like the world’s against you. I pushed everyone who was close to me away and I fell out with people and that’s something I’d never want again,” he said.
Nick further added that although travelling is an important aspect of tennis, it is one of the reasons which makes the sport challenging and tedious. “I’m going seven months a year abroad in a new place every week. That’s why tennis is so hard in my opinion. The mental game is ridiculous.”
“Physically, you have to be an absolute animal. What other sport do you have to play for three plus hours, possibly seven times in two weeks? It doesn’t happen. I have won some big titles around the world, played some amazing matches. This one [the doubles title] ranks [No.] 1 for me,” the Aussie said.
