Randy Orton’s message inspires fans

Randy Orton’s message inspires fans

A user on X shared a personal message Randy Orton sent him in hopes of inspiring other fans who may be suffering from depression.

Orton’s battle with his back problems played out publicly for 18 months. Some even thought he would never be able to return to the ring again. He silenced those critics, experts and medical officials in his return to Survivor Series: WarGames.

X member @SamirParvez posted a private message Randy Orton sent him on the topic of depression.

Orton wrote:

“No one is immune from depression. I was off work for 18 months, told my career was over. For 6 months I had a terrible state of mind. You have to find the motivation to start something, then continue, become consistent. Something healthy. For me it was healing my back, eating healthy, going to the gym properly and seeing results. Look for anything that can make you see improvement in what you do. Even if they are selfless acts, like helping those less fortunate. Depression is real, but we are resilient. Do not abandon. »
