Jay Guillermo quoted in the article below discussing suicides amongst college athletes. Never knew exactly what he was going through but glad he got the help he needed.

Former Clemson football player Jay Guillermo understands.

The starting center on college football's national runner-up in 2015 and the 2016 national champions stepped away from football during his sophomore year so he could be treated for depression. At his worst, he said he contemplated suicide but never attempted it.

"The struggle, at least I know for myself, was more admitting that I needed to talk to someone," he said in a telephone interview, noting the university and the coaching staff provided the support he needed. "Especially a male athlete, and a football player in such a physical rough sport, you never want to be the guy that's having to admit that something's wrong. You get that mindset of always pushing through. Nothing's wrong. I'm good to go. I think that's the toughest part. At least for me. Not that there wasn't any resources there, but reaching out to those resources."

I knew Jay was struggling, but this really brings to focus how hard it would be to actually seek help. I’m so glad that Jay was able to receive the help he needed, depression isn’t something that goes away
