I hope he gets the help he needs. Mental health is no joke. No joke at all.

I don't know the rules on players' social network accounts. Apologies if I'm not allowed to post this, but here is D.J.'s statement:

Poor kid.

Quality of life is way more important than a game and there is no way to fake your way through mental health struggles.

Really brave of him to put himself out here like this.

Good luck D.J., all of us are behind you and understanding of your decision.

Be well.

Props to DJ for speaking out and prayers for him to get better.

The first step to recovery is to delete all your social media accounts. Dopamine control is killing this generation's cognitive abilities.

I cannot say it any better so I am not even going to try.

Take care of yourself and come back when you are fully healthy. I have unfortunate first hand knowledge of PTSD and anxiety disorders. No idea what his diagnosis might be but learning to manage it takes some time.

Could be depression issues as well.

Get well soon.

I have incredible respect for this young man. God bless and take care of yourself! You will get through this because of how you do this!

Or just about anything really. I hope the kid focuses on taking care of himself and having the right people around him.

On a related note, that’s one of the things I really admire about Ryan Day. His talking about and work on these issues really helps with the stigma associated with mental health disorders. Turning tragedy into an opportunity to do some good is kicking life right back in the ass.

Sounds like from Holt's presser that there were some negative responses from "fans" to DJ stepping away. Holt said the negative replies made him angry.

probably the "in my day, we just rubbed some dirt on it and walked it off; kids today are too weak and entitled" crowd.

The last sentence of his mother's tweet is reassuring if he can get healthy again.
