Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios opened up about his mental health and drug use in an Instagram post Thursday, providing an introspective look into the ups and downs he has faced over the last few years.
The picture that Kyrgios posted was from 2019.
“This was me 3 years ago at the Australian Open,” Kyrgios wrote.
“Most would assume I was doing ok mentally or enjoying my life...it was one of my darkest periods. If you look closely, on my right arm you can see my self harm. I was having suicidal thoughts and was literally struggling to get out of bed, let alone play in front of millions.
