I\u2019ve been in bed resting this week.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019ll explain sooner or later but s\/o to my close circle who reached out, checked in, visited + or sent flowers. Loooovveeee y&#8217;all (sic).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe sports star later posted a picture of various floral gifts she had received, a photo of her bed with her two dogs, and a screenshot that featured a monitor&#8217;s reading of her resting heart rate.<\/p>\n<p>\nSimone&#8217;s caption read: &#8220;I&#8217;ll be here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter winning gold at the 2013 World Gymnastics Championships in Belgium at the age of 16, she became the most decorated gymnast in history.<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Simone&#8217;s success became a burden, and to help her cope, she turned to therapy, which ultimately &#8220;saved&#8221; her.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn an interview with Harper&#8217;s Bazaar Spain, Simone said: &#8220;Yes [success became a burden]. Achieving success so young was very difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Suddenly, everyone is watching you, telling you how to act, how to speak. I was afraid of disappointing them.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s why I started going to therapy. I needed to learn how to handle the pressure, how to remain true to myself. It was a crucial decision: taking care of my mind saved me as an athlete and as a person &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I still go to therapy every week. It keeps me grounded and helps me process everything that&#8217;s happening in my life and in the world. It&#8217;s my safe haven, the place where I learn to be kind to myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/simone-biles-ready-explain-almost-dying-comment-1446007.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>15 June 2026 Simone Biles is &#8220;not ready&#8221; to talk about her near-death health scare yet.
