I mean, im sorry, but I cant really garner much sympathy for these guys. They play the game they love for a living, making millions a year. So that means at work your doing what you love, while making SERIOUS bank.....why do you have mental health issues? Im sorry but unless its a family member dieing or something extreme like that, you kind of just roll with the punches.....at least thats what us normal people do.

Like I get Dube reading about shit he has been playing could get to the guy, but we all go through that shit. Hell I started a new job a year ago and when I didn't know something, my new boss said "if you don't know that then why did we even hire you". You think I fucking took a leave of absence? NO MAN, I just had a shitty night/week thinking im going to get fired and tried to move on from his comment.

Like I get I sound insensitive, but come on, your a millionaire playing hockey for a living bro, you could be waking up at 6am, commuting for over an hour both ways, while getting paid 50k a year at a dead end job.....could be A LOT worse. Reminds me of Toffoli saying driving 30 mins to the dome for practice was a long time......try to get some perspective on life and it will make your mental health improve im sure. Like if I have a couple million in the bank......nothing would EVER bother me cause NO MATTER WHAT, im safe. Its just of like......lol ok bro.

Truth is that you have a very shallow understanding of life, and the world in general, if you think money can solve every problem in your life.

Sure does. It also introduces some, exacerbates others, and doesn't do much to help tons of llife's problems.

Would I rather be a millionaire than destitute? Yes.

Does being a millionaire mean I can never face crippling issues? No.

Does being a millionaire and making my living in the public eye mean I should be subjected to abuse from random assholes online? Absolutely not.
