this book you're talking directly to the

look I was I talk about what I

10
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:52.159
call living in the grave, which
is depression anxiety add by polar I was

11
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:57.280
born with it in the sucks.
And one thing I realized that helpsting through

12
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.520
it as to have teams. And
my Fox invos on a team as a

13
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.119
team for me. My fight team
is a team for me. God is

14
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:04.840
a team for me. But I
realized there's so many more teammates out there

15
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.480
for me. The more I can
open up about this, the more I

16
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.560
can walk this walk with other people. The more it's not just gonna help

17
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.319
me, I in turn could help
everybody else out as well. So,

18
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.280
yeah, you're all my teammates.
Unbreakable is the book, and Jay Glazer

19
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:23.000
is here. You say you were
born with ADHD and bipolarism. When did

20
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.760
you realize you had it? Oh? No, that's my earliest childhood memory.

21
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:32.280
Like childhood was rough because you don't
really understand what's going on. You

22
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.040
just know that, Man, Why
am I sad all the time? Why

23
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.840
am I so anxious all the time? Why can't I sleep? I'm fidgeting,

24
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.760
I'm just it just doesn't stop.
And you know, it wasn't until

25
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.079
and even like listen, I started
having my first anxiety attack. I was

26
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.920
an empty Raiders stadium in two thousand
and five doing a hit for Foxing of

27
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.719
All Sunday, and all of a
sudden, I felt like I was having

28
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.840
a heart attack. The walls started
caving in, my eyes started shaking and

29
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.000
started shaking. And we didn't talk
about mental health at back then. We

30
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.239
didn't know what anxiety attacks were.
Back attacks were back then, And it

31
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.280
happened every single week I've ever been
on TV since. So I was getting

32
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.479
my heart checked out for a heart
attack all these years, and that's the

33
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.919
scary world. You will walk around
and for all that time thinking I'm gonna

34
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.240
die on TV for all these years
and actually welcome to Terry Broudshaw start talking

35
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.120
about it. I was like,
oh, wait a minute, that's what

36
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.120
it is. And Terry was ahead
of his time. So I know that.

37
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.080
The more I can talk about it
and people go, oh, that's

38
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.240
what I have. Okay, I'm
all right, and we're safe. And

39
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.800
we have these packic attacks, these
anxiety attacks. We're safe. But you

40
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.479
know, not enough people tell you
that. So I want to make sure

41
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.280
I can give it words with the
depression, like, look, I wake

42
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:47.039
up every single day in my life
in this gray of man. The sky

43
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.319
has fallen, the universe hates me. Everything that's going to go bad is

44
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.400
going to go bad. And the
truth is the universe conspires to help us.

45
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.159
But it's a difficult way to wake
up every day. I had to

46
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.599
learn tools and not just get out
of bed every day. But once I

47
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.439
did, how to go be relentless. So I now want to show people

48
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.879
you can have this level but still
live in the blue. You can beat

49
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.919
the gray and live in the Blue
and I went from mental health to mental

50
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.159
wealth, and I'm trying to show
everybody we could all do that. Like

51
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.319
my mental health issues motivated me,
and that's what this book is about.

52
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:29.000
Motivated me to go be successful,
to go to all these great things.

53
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.639
I've overcome an awful lot to get
here, and that's my Money's not my

54
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:38.639
wealth. What I've overcome, that's
my wealth. And he talks all about

55
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:44.240
it in Lessons for Living from the
Mental Health from a Mental health Warrior Unbreakable.

56
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.479
How I turned my depression and anxiety
into motivation and you can too,

57
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.080
Jay Glazer a Fox News Sunday you
know, and also NFL Insider, What

58
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:58.560
role did the sports have in your
process? So for me, I need

59
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:03.599
teams and I fought for years.
And it's so funny because in my teammates

60
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.039
are the battitudes and the platfor Chuck
Lindell and Randy Coutur, and we would

61
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.960
be in the cage and we would
beat the dog snot at each other,

62
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.599
and then after that's when we would
sit around and we start talking about our

63
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.720
lives. We would be crying each
other. I think people walk past the

64
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:24.560
cage were like many really beat the
helling each other. But that's when we

65
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.480
learned how to be vulnerable. And
once I started learning about that vulnerability,

66
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.759
and I realize, man, this
is what makes us strong. I gotta

67
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.240
teach this to other dudes out there. I'm gonna teach you to other people.

68
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:39.600
This vulnerability has changed my life,
and you know that's that's been one

69
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.040
of the biggest things for me.
I used to, you know, be

70
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.600
this athlete who know I'm not gonna
show it. I'm not gonna show it

71
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.560
worth back to the show. If
I'm tired, I'm never going to show

72
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.920
it. And that works in sports, but it doesn't work for the rest

73
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:54.199
of our lives. And what I
also do you know, sports for me

74
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.639
and I I tell these general teams, I go talk tom Now, lean

75
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.839
into your teammates, Lean into them, make you so much closer. Every

76
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.800
single time I have opened up to
one of my teammates, it's gotten us

77
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.160
so much closer. No one's called
me a woose. No one said Jay,

78
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.439
stop, your life is great.
Stop complaining. No one's told me

79
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.360
to suck it up and sacked.
Almost everybody said either they've had it some

80
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:21.040
former depression or anxiety, or family
member or kid or something. A man,

81
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.000
I'm so glad he talked to me
about this now and I had to

82
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.439
deals is better and it's something we've
all just suffered in silence, which for

83
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.279
so long. Man, screw that
those days are over. I want to

84
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.399
keep the door open, you're and
make us all talk about this so we

85
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.759
could become one big, badass team
together, like we are a sports team

86
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.800
together. We are our common goals
to be back to gray and live in

87
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.480
blue. Unbreakable is the book.
Jay Glazer is the author. You know,

88
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.839
I'm from Fox News NFL Sunday and
we just you had me chuckling a

89
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:53.120
minute ago. So that's one of
the things you talk about. Never underestimate

90
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.879
the power of laughter, absolutely,
And that's for me when I'm having an

91
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:01.720
anxiety attack after it gets me to
it. So so here I'm on TV

92
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.480
having a major panic attack where I
feel like I'm having a heart attack.

93
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.600
What do you do? I can't
just stop and say, oh, you

94
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.560
guys, I'm having a panic attack. I think I'm having a heart attack.

95
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.000
So I had to learn how to
deal with it. So it's laughter

96
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.720
for me is everything and you and
I'm on the right show to do it

97
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.920
because I want see me and how
we long and straight at Kurt Metaphe and

98
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.759
Jimmy Johnson. You know, it's
all we do at the time is laughed.

99
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.480
So I will, but I'll push
out a joke that may not fit

100
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.040
when I'm having a really bad attack, just to get myself through it.

101
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.279
It helps so much. And now
the difference to me also now when I

102
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.759
am having a panic attack or an
anxiety attack, now I will tell a

103
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.319
commercial break, I will tell how
You're straight at a Kurt oh Man.

104
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.480
I'm going through it right now.
Man, the walls are taping in on

105
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:54.439
me, and the moment I tell
them, I start getting relief because I'm

106
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.399
not fighting it on my own anymore. And that that's been a huge change

107
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.000
for me, a huge difference.
The book is Unbreakable How I turned my

108
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.560
depression and anxiety into motivation and you
can too the books out Now. Another

109
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:10.399
thing you talk about is being of
service or help to others, and it'll

110
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:16.360
help yourself absolutely from my whole life. That listen, when you have this

111
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.319
level of depression, the roommates in
your head start telling you what a bad

112
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.720
person you are, and you live
in this guilt and live in the shame,

113
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.800
and it's really difficult. So one
of the things I've always done is

114
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:33.160
when you're of service, it almost
off sets the negative stories that you tell

115
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:38.279
yourself. So you could be of
service and help other people out and all

116
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:43.439
of a sudden, like I said, it kind of the antidote to feeling

117
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.879
like it's such a bad person and
I didn't know. I'm not a bad

118
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.639
person. I know how to fight
back against what those voices say by doing

119
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.360
this. So and there's ways to
be a service. That put the book

120
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.480
that requires zero money, what's whatever, very little money, the way that

121
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.639
you started big foundations, touchdown dreams, that tells children's MDP, merging DUTs

122
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.199
and players which helps combat DUTs and
athletes. There's things I did you know

123
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.399
with my son, I put in
the ninety nine cent store, and with

124
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:20.040
my toothbrus toothpaste, handy wives,
socks, gloves, m JO and badam

125
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.439
and him at the homeless, at
tape books. So there's just different things.

126
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.959
Or just call my friends and check
them up on them. That's being

127
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.200
of service. Also, gotta go
lessons and learning and live and living with

128
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.639
a mental health warrior unbreakable. It's
