John Henry reveals he has mental health struggles
Bachelor in Paradise alum John Henry Spurlock is sharing something about himself that he’s never shared much with fans until now. He revealed that he suffers from mental health issues. Like so many across the globe, John Henry shared that he has depression. He mentioned on Paradise that seven years ago he had some depression. John Henry is ready to talk about it more now.
He shared a video on Instagram in which he tells people that social media is a highlight reel for everyone including him. John Henry said people may look at his social media and think he has a cool job and a really good life but there’s more to him. He went on to say he’s traveled all around Europe and lived in some cool cities which is grateful for but nobody sees what goes on behind the scenes.
He continued talking saying that prior to going on The Bachelorette to date Charity Lawson, he was single for seven years. It wasn’t from lack of looking or because he was too busy, it was because whenever he found himself in a low he walked away from whomever he was with.
He’s organizing a walk
John Henry voiced that he knows October is depression awareness month but the funny thing about depression is that it doesn’t wait til October to become a problem.
So, in order to raise awareness John Henry is organizing a walk for depression in Virginia Beach. He noted in the past sometimes all it took was for someone to come and grab him and make him get out of the house and do things when he was in a low.
This walk is his way of grabbing people and making them get out of the house. He knows it will be good for him and thinks it can help others as well.
