Anxiety is a mental illness that affects many people around the world, and having a big figure in a global game like Osuna admit he’s battling it will help countless people in their own fights. After hearing Osuna open up, I wanted to let him know how his openness will affect people who strive through mental illness. Here is my letter to Roberto Osuna.
Dear Roberto Osuna,
On Saturday we learned that you’re battling anxiety issues. Hearing this made me feel conflicted. I was so happy that someone of your stature would be strong enough to admit what they’re going through, but I also felt deep sadness that someone else is facing this.
