I didn&#8217;t want to go to school, I was ready to leave. I left school. I didn&#8217;t take any midterms and I just left.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But the interesting thing at that time is, I just didn&#8217;t know what it was, I didn&#8217;t know what depression was. I just knew I didn&#8217;t wanna be there.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I wasn\u2019t going to any of the team meetings, wasn\u2019t participating in anything, wasn\u2019t working out. And you know for us, as athletes, just any kind of sweat and getting it in will get that s*** out of you. I couldn\u2019t do it because of my shoulder. So at that time, that was a tough one for me and again, I didn\u2019t know what it was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe former WWE star explained that depression has resurfaced at various points of his life despite success in both wrestling and movies, although his &#8220;saving grace&#8221; is time spent with his daughters Simone, 21, Jasmine, seven, and Tiana, five.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Rock said: &#8220;Years later, I went through it again when I got a divorce \u2014 didn\u2019t know that it was. Years later, around 2017 or so, I went through it a little bit. Knew what it was at that time and luckily I had some friends that I could lean on and say, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m feeling a little wobbly now. I got a little struggle happening, seeing a little grey and not the blue.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/dwayne-rock-johnson-candidly-discusses-depression-battles-1378664.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 May 2023 Dwayne &#8216;The Rock&#8217; Johnson has candidly discussed his struggles with depression.
