WWE Chronicle: Bianca Belair is now available on demand on the WWE Network. In the clip above, Belair revealed her battle with depression that led to her being admitted to a mental hospital.
“I went to try to talk to someone to solve this and they gave me a medicine,” began Belair. “I ended up leaving that college and transferring myself to another college to start over, instead of facing my problems and thinking that I’m just going to get away from it. I stopped the medication and you can’t do that, you have to get away.
“When I stopped, everything collapsed back. I was very, very depressed and didn’t know why. I didn’t know what was going on. I just thought, ‘I don’t want to be here anymore.’ So, I tried not to be here anymore. I ended up in a mental hospital. I remember being in this room and there was a lady screaming all night. My parents are visiting me, they are in shock because they had no idea what was going on.
“Now I feel bad because I feel like, ‘Oh, God, they think I’m crazy. I feel like a failure. ‘That was the moment when I thought,’ I need to go home. I can’t keep running from college to college. I have to face this. ‘I was able to sit there and talk to my parents and know that I had their support. That was the moment when I felt very safe and thought, ‘Okay, this is going to get better.’ I was not better at that moment, but I felt I was going to get better. ”
WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E reacted to Belair’s story and commented:
“Bianca is obviously a star. I didn’t know her story, but it will positively impact many lives. It is so easy to twist. “
