"Growing up, I always tried to be really tough. I just carried that with me and thought I would be fine and I could just work through it by myself. That wasn't really reality." #ASU WBB Robbi Ryan https://t.co/9pxL36QqKq via @azcentral

In honor of Mental Health Awareness month, Arizona State WBB's Robbi Ryan is speaking out about her battle with mental illness. This is a story I hope will help others.

An important and raw story about a topic that still isn’t talked about enough. For every brave athlete like @rryan_44 there are many struggling alone in silence. I really hope that with more of us sharing our struggles, we’re able to end the stigma. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth https://t.co/OeDt7ZVNzU

This article is exactly what I needed. I’ve always been a fan of Robbi (and the rest of the team) and so seeing that some of the people I admire the most also have the same struggles as me was a breath of fresh air. https://t.co/VD7Cf6onbb
