Jarren Duran Mental Health Journey

Professional Baseball player Jarren Duran revealed that his performance struggles in 2021-22 triggered severe mental health issues and a suicide attempt. He credits divine intervention for surviving and uses journaling and daily affirmations to stay focused. His candidness brings awareness to mental health challenges in professional sports.

“I got to a point where I was sitting in my room, I had my rifle and I had a bullet and I pulled the trigger and the gun clicked, but nothing happened. So, to this day, I think God just didn’t let me take my own life because I seriously don’t know why it didn’t go off.”
