At 29 I sat on my rooftop of my condo overlooking Chicago thinking if I wasn’t such a pansy I would just jump off & end it.
I was recently cheated on & divorced.
I was drinking 6 days a week & popping pills like they were skittles.
I was around drinking buddies often, but ALWAYS FELT ALONE.
I couldn’t get off the couch for days during some periods.
I felt my best days were behind me & couldn’t see a way out.
It was the lowest depression I’ve ever experienced.
And then………
The Panthers needed the Penguins to lose a home game to the Blackhawks (lol) to get into the playoffs.
They were a minute away from elimination in a Game 7.
They've now won 11 of their last 12 games — and are in the Cup Final.
This sport, man.
