In a candid and emotional interview on The Bobbycast, WWE Women’s United States Champion and AAA Mixed Tag Team Champion Chelsea Green has spoken out about the mental health struggles she has faced during her time out with injuries.
Overcoming the Dark Periods of Recovery
Chelsea Green, known for her high-flying moves and intense matches in the WWE, has had to deal with her fair share of injuries in recent years. The WWE Women’s United States Champion has been open about her struggles with mental health, particularly during the recovery process. In a heartfelt conversation with Bobby Lashley, Green spoke about the challenges she faced when dealing with the uncertainty and frustration that comes with being out of commission due to injury.
“I think it’s really easy to get caught up in the mindset of ‘I’m not doing anything, I’m not contributing to the team, I’m not performing,’ and that can be really damaging,” Green said. “It’s hard to maintain a sense of purpose and identity when you’re not able to do the one thing that makes you feel like yourself.”
The Importance of Support Systems
Green emphasized the importance of having a strong support system during times of injury and mental health struggles. She credits her loved ones, including her husband Marc Silver, for being a source of encouragement and comfort during her darkest moments.
“My husband has been my rock throughout this entire process,” Green said. “He’s been the one who’s been able to see me at my worst and still be able to tell me that I’m strong and capable. He’s been a reminder that I’m not alone in this and that I have people who care about me and want to see me succeed.”
Breaking Down the Stigma Surrounding Mental Health
Green hopes that by sharing her story, she can help break down the stigma surrounding mental health in the wrestling industry. She believes that by speaking out, she can inspire others to be more open and honest about their struggles.
“I think it’s really important for us as wrestlers to be able to talk about our mental health and to be able to share our stories,” Green said. “I hope that by speaking out, I can help create a culture where it’s okay to not be okay and where we can support each other through the tough times.”
A Message of Hope and Resilience
Green’s message of hope and resilience is one that resonates deeply with fans and wrestlers alike. Her story serves as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is always a way forward.
“I want people to know that they’re not alone and that there is hope,” Green said. “It’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to ask for help. I want to encourage people to be kind to themselves and to prioritize their mental health above all else.”
According to a WWE insider, Green’s courage and vulnerability have sent a ripple effect throughout the locker room, with many wrestlers expressing gratitude and admiration for her willingness to speak out.
