Martin attempted suicide 'on multiple occasions'

Retired lineman Jonathan Martin wrote that he attempted to kill himself and lived with crippling anxiety during much of his NFL career, which included a bullying scandal that became national news when he walked out of the Miami Dolphins locker room in 2013.

From his Facebook post:

You were raised in a good household. You know that you are a flawed person. Have done stupid, regrettable things. But you know right from wrong. And consider integrity to be incredibly important. The worst of all, in your mind, is being called a liar.

Your job leads you to attempt to kill yourself on multiple occasions.
