He has been in a very difficult situation lately Danny Osvaldo. The former striker of United, Inter, Roma, Porto and Boca Junior revealed in a post on Instagram that he is suffering from a severe depressionwhich has made him not recognize himself.
In fact, his words are shocking for drug and alcohol addictionwhile he emphasized that he is receiving psychiatric treatment and has distanced himself from some people from this whole situation.
In detail, what Osvaldo mentions in his post:
“I am not at all well. I want to tell you a few things about my life. I have to say them. For a long time now I have been dealing with a very serious depression, which has made me fall into some addictions: alcohol, drugs.
I’m at a point where my life is getting out of hand. I wanted to share it with you. I’m in psychiatric treatment, I’m on medication, I have a certain disease. I lack self-esteem.
Many times I fall back into my addictions, causing self-destruction but also destroying those around me. I stay alone, locked in my house, never go out, do nothing productive. Sometimes I don’t even want to get out of bed.
I want to tell you all this because I believe that the only way out is for people to know what is happening to me. I have distanced myself from people who loved me and who love me, and who I loved and love. Even from my family and my children.
I want to apologize to Daniela, because because of me she is going through events that she shouldn’t have to go through. I don’t want to play the victim, I just want you to understand that the decisions I make in my life and the anger I feel for the world and for many people have to do with my illness, with my depression.
I do psychiatric treatment, but many times it is difficult, I fall back into my addictions. It costs me too much to continue. I used to be a high level footballer, now I’m a completely different person. without security or trust. I don’t even recognize myself and I’m having a hard time getting away from it.
If there is anyone going through the same situation, or a family member, I want to tell them to talk to their family. It costs me a lot to open up, to get out of the reality that is in my head, that is not real but that exists inside me. For me it is very difficult to tell what is real and what is made up in my head. If there is someone experiencing a similar situation, ask for help, because you can’t get out of it alone. It can happen to anyone.
I have no steady job, no income. But that’s the secondary aspect, because I’ve never been interested in money. I am poor, and I could die poor, but I do not care: what hurts me most is that I am becoming poor here, in soul. I was always a good friend, a good partner, I wanted to be a good father but many times I failed.
I want you to understand that a lot of my behaviors come from a place inside of me that I can’t control, I’m hurting myself. I apologize to my friends, my family, my children and Daniela. I repeat again: I don’t want to be a victim, but somehow force myself not to fall into the same mistakes. I hope one day to be back the way I was before».
