Miller posted the news on Twitter, stating that he could have committed suicide without the support he received from his coaches.
I would not normally share such information. Because I’ve played football, however, I’m no longer allowed to keep my private information. So I’ll share my story briefly before any more articles ask, “What’s wrong with Harry Miller?” he wrote. It is a great question. This is a good question. I’ve asked it many times.
Miller claimed that he had told Ohio State football coach Ryan Day that he wanted to commit suicide before the football season. Miller claimed Day connected Miller with health officials, who provided support.
He wrote, “After a few week, I tried my luck again at football with scars on both my wrists, and throat.” With my wrists taped up, it was hard to see the scars. Perhaps it was difficult to see the scars in the bright colors on the TV. Perhaps the scars were difficult to hear in all the interviews and talk shows. These scars are difficult to see and easy to conceal, but they can be very painful. The television set had a dead man, but no one knew.
According to the Ohio junior, he has seen people ignore the seriousness of mental illness. He added that he hopes that “if someone’s hurt can only be taken seriously for one time, it can also be mine.”
He wrote, “A person such as me, who supposedly holds the whole world before them, can be fully ready to give up the entire world.” This is not a problem reserved for the far away. It is at our homes. It is in our conversations. It is in our relationships with the people we love.”
Miller thanked Day and said that he was grateful for the opportunity to “find a way to help others within the program.” He also expressed his hope that other athletic departments will do the same.
He said that his coach’s words were not a reflection if it wasn’t for him and the staff. They would be evidence at a post-mortem.”
Miller ended the letter by saying that he was “okay” and reminding readers that “there’s help, always.”
He said, “And so, I will love more that I can be hated and laughed at. For I know the people who sneer need most of the love I was looking for.” “Apathy can cost you your life. But kindness is a small act of kindness that will save it.” I live a happy life because of the kindness shown to me by others, even though I couldn’t produce it myself.
