Jelena Dokic opens her struggle with her mental health.

In an honest report on Instagram on Monday, a former Australian tennis professional posted a photo with tears in his eyes and told his followers they were not alone.

“04/28/2022 – I almost jumped off the balcony on the 26th floor also took my own life. I will never forget that day,” he began. “Everything is dull. Everything is dark. There is no tone, no image, no meaning … tears, sadness, depression, fear, and pain.”

Dokic continues, “The last six months have been hard. He’s always been crying everywhere. From hiding in the bathroom at work, wiping my tears so no one can see them, to the uncontrollable crying at home in my four unbearable walls.”

She said she experienced “constant feelings of sadness and pain” that “did not disappear, also my life was broken.”

The athlete told fans that he did not believe “I deserve to be love” and add, “he is afraid.”

Although he knew he “should be grateful for many things,” he said he experienced a “vicious circle in my head,” adding that “I don’t have to be [grateful] because I want to end it all.”

The result: On April 28, I almost jumped off the balcony on the 26th floor. I will never forget that day, I just want to stop the pain and suffering, “he wrote. On this occasion, Dokic said he could” get on the sidelines, I don’t even know how to do it. It is. “

He praised “professional help” as something that “saved my life.”

“It’s not easy to write, but I’m always open, honest and vulnerable to all of you, and I believe in the power of sharing our stories to help us get ahead of each other and help each other,” he told his followers. .
