Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson 'moved’ by mental health support

Dwayne Johnson says he’s been “moved” by fans’ reaction after opening up about his struggles with mental health.

In an interview earlier this month the star said he’s battled depression many times during his career.

Dwayne told Newsbeat the response he’s received has been “phenomenal”.

“It was really overwhelming and thousands of people responded,” The Rock said at last night’s premiere of his new movie, Rampage .

“It all started when I helped a man [a fan who was fighting his own battle with depression].

"I said, 'hey, you’re not alone, we all go through it’.

"One of the most important things that I know helped me with the multiple times that I had gone through my own episodes of depression, was making sure that I was talking to people.”

Depression doesn’t discriminate’

Now one of Hollywood’s highest paid actors, The Rock has spoken in the past about watching his mother try to kill herself when he was just 15 years old.

“She got out of the car on Interstate 65 in Nashville and walked into oncoming traffic,” he recalled.

“Big rigs and cars were swerving out of the way. I grabbed her and pulled her back on the gravel shoulder of the road.”

He added: “What’s crazy about that suicide attempt is that to this day, she has no recollection of it whatsoever. Probably best she doesn’t.”

He described reaching his lowest point where he didn’t want to go anywhere, do anything and was crying constantly.

“We as men have a tendency to hold all that in which is not healthy, it’s not good.

"Depression doesn’t discriminate so if my past can help then I’m happy to share.”

7 Steps for Maintaining Motivation

1. Grasp that it’s YOUR life, and no-one else’s life.

2. Decide to “live on purpose”.

3. Recognise that achievement has a price tag attached to it – and decide you’ll pay that price.

4. Work on constantly maintaining your focus.

5. Chose a skill or a field and become competent, or an expert, in that area.

6. Find other people who will hold you to your goals – and will believe in, and encourage you, to strive to reach your dreams.

7. Consciously notice the progress you are making, and remind yourself “it’s worth it” as you’re further on the path.

I’m going to show them f@#k off

I cut a negative dude out of my life and celebrated by buying this cute little turtle to paint for my garden ☺️

it’s okay to feel relieved when you break an attachment to someone who wasn’t good for you

Cheer up

I’m finding it hard to find the strength to draw, much less lineart one, but gotta try and be positive no matter the happens next.

Be safe everyone. May we all find our smiles amidst every thing we go through these troubling times.

Every time you reach a goal, go in front of the mirror and say to yourself: You did it! I’m proud of you.

What if the goal of every exercise, every workout was to stir your spirit? What if the goal was joy? Lose weight, tone muscle and let feeling good, feeling authentically good, be your common denominator.

Christmas is coming

Christmas can be wonderful, but, for some, Christmas is a cold reminder of family trauma and sadness. While the idea of the family getting together for the holidays is sweet and charming, we must remember that some of us have very toxic family members. I encourage everyone to make choices that will benefit your mental health and well being this holiday season. Whether you’re leaving toxic family members behind or creating beneficial boundaries, make the choice for yourself despite how you think they will feel. And if you know of someone who is distancing themselves from their family, please do not pressure them into changing their mind for the sake of “holiday spirit”. Every family is different, and we should respect their choice to make boundaries or leave toxicity behind.

It’s that time of year again! Do not feel compelled to spend time with family if you feel that they are toxic. You do get to choose who you allow in your life. You can always choose what’s best for you, never forget that ❤️ And as the year comes to an end, I hope that your boundaries will be respected and you’ll have some peace. A new year is coming, a new chapter in your life, let’s make it great!
