Senator speaks out about his struggle with depression | CNN Politics

I totally get it with John Fetterman, you know? I've been there too, after a huge win at work 🏆. It's like everyone expects you to be this superhero, but nobody asks about the battles you're fighting in private. Mental health is super important, and we need more people talking about it openly 💬. I'm glad he's taking steps to focus on his well-being, even if it means being a little "broken" right now 🤕. It's actually kinda refreshing that he's not trying to put on a brave face or pretend everything is fine when it's not 👌.
 
omg did u no that senator john fetterman went thru so much after wining his election?? 🤯 like, ppl think politicians r always put together but idk about him he said he was broken after it all 🤕 and its not just about being strong for fam tho, he struggled 2 maintain a good facade while dealin w/ mental health issues himself 🙏 i feel so bad 4 him, no one should have 2 go thru that kinda thing 😔
 
I feel bad for this guy 🤕 He's been under so much stress since the election and people don't even realize how hard it is to put on a happy face in public when you're secretly struggling with depression 💔. Did you know that 1 in 4 Americans will experience a mental health disorder each year? That's like, almost everyone! 🤯 The thing is, depression isn't something you can just "tough out" or "snap out of". It's a serious condition that requires help and support 🤝. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, only 31% of people in the US seek treatment for mental health issues... like what's going on with our healthcare system?! 🚑 Anyway, John Fetterman's coming forward about his struggles is super brave and inspiring 💪. Here are some stats that might interest you: depression affects 9.1% of women and 4.3% of men in the US; 1 in 5 people will experience mental illness each year 📊... and we still have so much to learn about mental health! 🧠
 
Meh, I've gotta say, John Fetterman seems like a pretty normal dude considering how much pressure comes with being in politics. I mean, it's easy to put on a brave face and pretend everything is fine when you're actually drowning in anxiety. 🤯 But seriously, can't we just talk about this stuff without making people feel like they need to "be strong" for everyone else? It sounds like Fetterman was feeling really alone in his struggles with depression, even from his own party members. We should be supporting him, not telling him to toughen up and put on a happy face. Mental health is way more important than winning an election, if you ask me.
 
yeah i feel bad for him, winning a election can be super stressful, especially in todays climate 🤯... it's cool that he's being open about his struggles with depression tho, mental health is still a big thing we dont really talk about often 💔... maybe if more ppl like him speak up, its gonna help reduce the stigma around it 👍
 
🤕 it's crazy how politicians have to put up a brave face all the time while dealing with their own demons... John Fetterman is totally speaking my truth, I mean, who wouldn't feel like they're losing themselves when you're under that much pressure? 💔 depression is no joke and it's so important that we start having more open conversations about mental health. Fetterman seems like a good dude who's willing to be vulnerable and use his platform for good 🙏
