In an interview with the New York Times, two-time national champion Gracie Gold discussed her mental health issues in greater detail than she had in the past.
“I was suicidal for months,” she told the Times. “If I had just continued the way I was in Detroit, I’d probably be dead.”
She lived in Detroit for several months following her split with California-based coach Frank Carroll in Jan. 2017.
Gold said there were periods of time where she would sleep the entire day, then stay up for three days straight.
