Jarren Duran, a Boston Red Sox outfielder, candidly discussed his mental health challenges in the docuseries The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox. During 2021 and 2022, he faced significant struggles that led him to attempt suicide. A failed attempt propelled a turning point in his life, fostering a commitment to mental wellness, including journaling and daily reminders of resilience. His story serves as an inspiration, showcasing his courage and the necessity for open discussions about mental health, as echoed by Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy who supports Duran's honesty and courage in sharing his experience.
I didn't even want to be here anymore. ... 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.
Jarren's decision to share his story is an act of courage that reaches far beyond baseball. By opening up, he's showing others who may be struggling that they're not alone.
On [the tape on] my left wrist, I write, Fuck em,' because it's me telling my demons, You're not going to faze me', Duran says in the docuseries.
And on my right wrist, I write, Still alive' because I'm still here and I'm still fighting.
