New Chicago Bears widereciever Brandon Marshall recently opened up about his personality disorder that has got him into a few run ins with the law...
‘‘A lot of people are afraid to talk about it — it’s taboo in our communities. But I’m willing to use myself, make myself and my family vulnerable, to break the stigmas.’’
"Since I’ve been in the league, things have been very rough for me. From Day 1, I’ve always wanted better for myself, on and off the field. To finally get an answer — to finally be in a place where someone can help me — that was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. But it was scary because someone is telling you, ‘Hey, you have to go through this therapy. You have to stay up here and talk to me.’ But the outcome was amazing.’’
He says his anger was, ‘‘my gift and my curse, because without that passion, without that intense approach to the game, which comes from a lot of my pain, a lot of my anger, I wouldn’t be here today.’’
‘‘This thing is bigger than me. We’re losing lives. When I was in treatment, there was a young lady who took her life. ‘It’s one of the most devastating disorders out there, but it’s the most treatable, and with the proper help and the proper treatment, we can make a huge impact in our community.’’
Great to hear his doing good and trying to better himself in his situation....
