Chelsea Green Opens Up On Mental Health

Current WWE NXT signee Chelsea Green (former Knockout Laurel Van Ness) went to social media today to confess her battle with mental health using the #LetsBellTalk hashtag. In the post, she would discuss a time where she was in a depressive state and relied on self-harm.

Chelsea wrote:

“I was 21 years old when I fell into a dark place. I used to sit on the bathroom floor every single night, in tears, with a razor blade in my hand. I took out my anger and hurt on my body, not because I wanted someone to notice me. I wanted help. I would wake up in the morning, feeling embarrassed. I had a great job, I had an amazing group of friends, my boyfriend at the time was in the NHL, my family supported my financially, yet I was unhappy.

I’ve never been open about my struggles. But each year 1 in 5 females and 1 in 7 males engage in self-harm. There is no look, no shape, size, color, age or gender in mental health issues. Join the conversation. Help end the stigma surrounding mental health. I promise, it gets better.”
