@That One It's not about the countries not being talented lol You think there aint no talents in every country? There are talents everywhere. The issue is with the conditions and the opportunities those talents get. Those are mostly 3rd World countries whichs families struggle to have something to eat. You think they would prioritize swimming over living a normal life for example? You know the answer, mate.

True Champion Love from INDIA

really nice to see that michael is using his name and fame in discussing something which no one wants to discuss. i also had suicidal panicks a couple of times in a span of month but listening to michael really helped me to convince my inner self that I want to live.

Just make a film of him .it will break world record of selling.

This man gave me so much hope today! I hope I will accomplish a lot just like him when I get less anxious

Nobody deserves it like Michaels Phelps he his a legend a hero the greatest Olympic of all time

All pro athletes get tired of their sport at some point, but never loose their love for it, just don't want to compete anymore.

Thats my boy!!! Love Micheal im from the same error of phelps and already being a fan of Olympic sports when Phelps came along it was the best thing that ever happened to Olympics such a cool guy i wish him nothing but the best of luck in his business ventures i wish his whole family a happy healthy life it was really a joy to watch u swimm all them years.#bestever

"THANK YOU (Michael Phelps) for making us FEEL the way you do"❤️

what a great athlete, what a great human. I bow down to you Mr.Phelps. Thank you for everything.

LIFE it is giving back and helping, You have to be a friend to get a friend. LOVE.

Overcoming mental health issues is not easy and it is always great to see people in the public eye be honest and open about it. It helps remove some of the stigma.

Heartfelt. It is always humbling to see and hear successful people open up and sharing their struggles.

thank you for opening up about mental struggles, so brave.

He is a great man and you can see he is an honest caring person! I Feel so identified with him, I also suffer anxiety, fortunately things are getting better, but to all of you guys suffering the same, I wish you all the best! Sometimes the cause of anxiety comes from not saying or doing what you really want to say or do, so you can always work on that to improve yourself and get better!😉 All my sincere support to all of you guys💪! Be strong, and don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for help if you need it! There is nothing wrong on accepting that we are sometimes vulnerable, that makes us human! Warm regards from Spain, take care guys✊🏻

So needed to hear this today...I have a son dealing with depression and I am researching how to help him out of this. Depression involving not wanting to live is a true part of mental health. Wish I had Michael Phelps to meet my son in person!!! He truly needs a mentor to get him past this error of his life.

The fact that someone so successful struggled with depression and anxiety makes me not feel so bad for struggling.

It's humbling for him to admit his fragility.. 👍

That was the mouth of experience, Hardwork and Compassion

WOW! This is an incredible journey shared by one of the highest archivers on our planet, Michael Phelps! He is such an inspiration for all - thanks to his humble, courageous, honest and generous sharing about his triumph journey - not only about claiming his most victory moments in life, but more importantly and more profoundly about enduring his darkest moments in life in order to claim his final triumph in life, and that is the most beautiful human spirit perhaps we could all learn from! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️😇😇 👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖

This outline might help. I got it from various videos on anxiety. *Vicious anxiety cycle - Thoughts > Feelings > behavior* Thoughts - future-based, catastrophic, something bad will happen I won’t be able to cope Feelings - Anxious. Adrenaline, tense, heart racing, breathing fast, shaky, light-headed, sweaty Behaviors - Avoid or escape, not go out, make excuses, leave early, safety behavious - help us cope in the situation Thoughts • Challenge our thought • Not believe our thoughts • Not pay attention to our thoughts (filter out) Change our behavior (Learn and use coping skills) • Stick with it in those situations • Make a plan to gradually do things previously you avoided • Start small and build up Feeling • Thinking and doing differently means we’ll feel much less anxious

God gives you peace my friend.

This hit home

HE is super human though he says he is not. To help others in mental health not just sports is greatness as a human and his honesty

Michael phelps not just my idle but my champion

Michael you are saving lives every day. Thank you for sharing.

He's built like a Merman. Huged webbed feet, huge torso, short legs, triple jointed and huge hands

He's so humble 😍

Omg can't stop Myself from liking this

"We all go through struggles. It's something every single person goes through."

Michael Phelps it's truly a dad when he's telling people his family to shut off the water.

Years back I got invited by one of his friends to hang out with her, him and his wife and I didn't go. Seeing that he's willing to open up about something I personally will always struggle with on some level makes me wish I had met up with the guy. Mental health is still way behind but we're getting more researched for sure

Such a great man. Michael, you are my hero.

This fish looks like a man

When she asks " how could that be, if you were so successful" she is perpetuating the idea that success solves all our problems, or that our mental health is linked to our level of success...when in the end "success" looks so different for everyone. Money, fame, class etc will not define your feelings of accomplishment or worthiness.
