The Silent Battle. 'Documentary' Mental Health & Addiction in Pro sport | Nile Wilson 

True that's how I'm am. Always asking everyone if there ok.

Did you even watch it Ariel? Before you can help.. You have to be able to understand what is happening. They all say it..All though the filming.

This

Lots of people were there for him. He just saw them as 'fans' .. not 'real people'.

I thought the same thing.

Priceless to have someone like him!! 🙏❤️

He's a very impressive man indeed.

One of the rare managers that actually cares, a lot of top celebrity managers will just ignore all these warning signs until it's too late

manager or handler?

Awesome guy.

Lloyd - Niles was giving content he didn't know HE needed. Now that he has done it, "We" can be even more supportive to him as a person, not the champion gymnast but the Niles hiding within.

I had no idea he existed but am glad I found him. Really cool story to follow.

Yes, Nile was very lucky to have him as a manager.

I’ve heard so many cases about athletes/stars being taken advantage of by their agents or managers, I’m so glad to see Nile’s actually cares about him

You were not

i think you're not

No I cried xx

I cried!! You are not alone!

I cried too!! It’s okay :) x

Thank you for standing up for everyone

Yes yes yes

Only if they're rich and successful already.

@@KoroarNot true. I'm sorry if your experience has been different. If people can't hang with a person for sharing their struggles, then that person doesn't need those people in his/her life.

Getting triggered/offended over things is a mental health problem in itself. It is impossible for someone, especially when engaging with a large audience to not say something that could be offensive.

@@buffybuff992 I'm not offended, I was referencing my own mental illnesses.

I was crying to 😢

Praying for you ❤

Your right, your not alone. We with mental and/or physical health issues find it challenging to connect with others that don't. I sought professional help and luckily found a counsellor that knows my "brand" of illness intimately and gave me the tools to pull myself into the light of understanding me. Peace of mind is precious, I hope you find yours.

I'm like you, taking it one minute,hour or day at a time

If you need someone to talk to iv'e been there and gotten better im here to help and be a friend xoxo

I’m here. Never miss my meds. Never again want to plan my death daily. You are here. Never skip yr meds. Never think that way about yourself. You are NOT alone. You, I, and others are connected.

I sensed a change in his videos. I patched it up to the possibility that "RU-vid success was, unfortunately, going to his head". But I guess it was more that a lot of his positivity was becoming insincere, and was an act covering struggles.

Right, this video blew my mind. Especially when Joanna spoke.

He is my too

His dad is handsome.

@@Girrrrrrrrrrrrrl66 of course he is! He looks like older Nile!

@@miriam3848 I just came across this channel and that’s one of the first things I thought after I saw them both, they look so much alike! And I think the sister and mom look alike too. The family is pretty adorable lol

They all seem to have grown from this pain. Unfortunately growth often comes from struggles. Best to everyone

Ik its been 2 years, but i hope u re doing better sir, greetings from Greece

You are super hope you have no idea sir ….from India

I disliked it becaue the volume was too variable. Music too loud then could barely hear them talking. I just couldn't watch more than 10 minutes even though I wanted to.

Kimberly - Wow. What a petty thing to dislike a message like this for. Whatever.

Kimberly what video were you watching? I'm deaf in both ears and cannot listen to someone speak and music at the same time. I heard ever word that was said. But hey ho you do you.

Idiots

Wether it's warranted or not. I'm willing to be that there are plenty of people out there who are going through stuff so vile and difficult that they watch this and thing "This rich good looking kid who's medalled at the olympics got down because of this???" I can see plenty of people disliking a video like this for their own reasons.

I'm the same hun, I can see a lot of myself in this, I went from training my whole life with horses and learning from anyone and everyone one to getting to be an Eventer, the high I got from it was like nothing I'd experienced before and then at 20 (17yrs ago) I did to 2disks what Nile did to his and then they started crumbling, except mine is too dangerous to operate on, I just keep hope that one day there will be a safe way to have a 2disk replacement, but I'm so glad Niles could be cos I wouldn't wish this on anyone

R.i.p. sorry for your loss

I know that feeling my really good friend killed himself and then his mum took her life after. I’m proud your still here ❤️

Sorry for your loss x

Suicide is a terrible shock, take care of yourself. God bless you in your time of need. 🤗

I am so so sorry that you lost your son, a suicide survivor myself. I can honestly say that in his heart of hearts he probably thought that by not being here he couldn’t/wouldn’t be a burden on anyone. Everyone Who says.... “suicide is the cowards way out” Has never truly been in the depths of the darkness of your own mind. The times I have attempted weren’t cowardly, have you ever tried to get the courage together to take a couple of boxes of pills. It takes a lot of guts to go through with it. I’m sure your son battled in his head for weeks before committing suicide. Most people who are suicidal aren’t scared about their own death, they are scared that they will leave behind distraught loved ones who’s lives will never be the same again but at the same time they have that other ‘voice’ in there head saying “just do it, you’re a burden and a waste of Space anyway, they are all embarrassed by me” With thoughts ranging from can I do this, will I be successful, if I’m not successful will I wake up with life changing injuries etc. (These are generic thoughts not that of your son). My good friend passed away on January 1st WHILST IN A PSYCH WARD ON A 1-1. Meaning a staff member had to see and hear her at all times. I’ve had staff who fall asleep on my 1-1, or sat on there mobile phones whilst they are supposed to be watching me. I literally have so many pics of stuff sleeping. Disgusting! She was mid-late twenties.. Then in April another young friend a girl 22 years young, took her own life at home, she suffered from anorexia/borderline personality disorder and OCD. IT NEEDS TO STOP ✋🏼 🛑💛 THERE HAS TO BE MORE SUPPORTS IN PLACE. I know it’s in the middle of a Global Pandemic but MENTAL ILLNESS NEVER GOT THAT MEMO 📝 MENTAL ILLNESS doesn’t just disappear because the world is on lockdown, MENTAL ILLNESS doesn’t take a break for birthdays, Xmas, Holidays, I hope that you and your family are getting grief counselling or have a Therapist you can offload to. You can even do online therapy which I have found much less stressful as I’m wheelchair/bed bound so getting to appointments is a massive upheaval as I need to take my *tube feeds*, *feed pump*, *Portable Oxygen Machine*, *Non Invasive Ventilator*, *Epilepsy* Rescue Meds*, *EpiPen*, *Dexcom* (blood sugar monitor, which is a sensor that is injected into the subcutaneous tissue just under the skin giving me my blood glucose readings 24/7, *HypoKit* (pure glucose injection that you have to draw up and inject which is for my rapid and severe low blood sugar which can drop as low as 1.1mmol/l causing seizures, coma and death As you can see, it’s a task and a half. I’m basically a wheeling/wheelchair Hospital and Pharmacy 😂 lol So yeah if you prefer the comfort of your own home. Or you want to get a feel for what it would involve some places offer a first time session free of charge. Again I’m so sorry for everything you guys been through. My heart ❤️truly hurts for you guys. Sending Prayers From Glasgow, Scotland. IG @gillys_journey83

There is such a thing as out of the woods you just have to work to stay out of the woods once you get there not out of the woods may be different for everybody! There is hope even in the midst of mental illness! There was portion of the last 3 years where I was out of the woods because I was making good choices one day at a time but then I forgot and started focusing on the past and the future and I got back into the woods!!! There is hope and as you said it’s one day at a time

Just shows fame and money doesn't equal happiness.

The hardest of times are when we force our biggest smiles.

I remember in one of his vlogs he said somebody asked him how is he happy all the time and he said he isn't he's a human being just like everyone else, I watched that clip a few times and I could see the pain and uncertainty behind his eyes and his speech the way he sounded, I knew then that something was coming. He's very lucky to have good people around him, and he is a very strong person to come back from such a low place

Nile you are an Insperation to so Many! I just started to watch you 6 months Ago! I was in gymnastics loved it but you Do Get hurt! It can be a Dangerous! I laugh so much watching your show !I Been Where You Are the Happy Go Lucky PERSON !

things will get better!! Don't try to simply forget but own what happened to you, and you will come out of the tunnel stronger than before

simone madaschi thank you 💕

YES! The main thing to remember is that however dark things get, IT IS BOUND TO CHANGE!

DM me on insta if you ever need a chat ❤️

Amen

I know exactly what you mean. I’m a former psychiatric nurse who has had hospital admission with depression and I couldn’t shake the idea that I should be able to just shake the feelings off

This has to be the biggest misconception people don't talk enough about. I had a difficult childhood. And i've always though that once i learned enough about why it still affects me. I could easily figure out how to stop the feelings. Well i've learned quite a lot. But It does not work that way... depression and anxiety becomes physical. And it takes very difficult work to make progress.

Yes! I had postpartum psychosis, PPD, PPA based rage, and birth trauma PTSD. I basically treated myself. This kept me and my baby alive but it wasn’t until I got a therapist that I started to actually heal. EMDR mixed with cognitive behavioral therapy (which I was already using on myself), plus finally letting God lead healed me. Having a background in counseling psychology plus birth trauma PTSD, I was terrified of medical professionals trying to prescribe something or taking my baby away. Thankfully, I found a counselor that specializes in birth, she ended up being my birth doula for my second birth, and she is natural minded and understood how pharmaceuticals have repeatedly negatively impacted me, including during both births and was basically found to be the reason for my psychosis. Trying to survive under my own knowledge and strength was one of the hardest things I did, but it was harder admitting the truth to someone else.

I would like your comment 1000 times if I could, I too suffer with very bad mental health issues, and I know that I need to speak to my mental health nurses more, especially about how I deal with grief but I usually hide my deepest, darkest thoughts in a vault at the very back of my brain.

Thanks for that comment

I'm praying for you. You are not alone. I've been there too but there is a way out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fcqxzXMRGoc.html
