Thomas Suchek’s report on depression in detail
“It was two years of horror. I was ashamed to talk about it, even to my parents. They had no idea what was going on until I decided to write my story. I got to the point of thinking about quitting football”
“Insomnia, depression, fear of the future. At first it was kind of annoying, but then it became unbearable. I was playing without an hour of sleep. Every match was torture. I was afraid of failure, reactions, everything.”
