Becky Lynch Opens Up About Her Battle With Depression Prior To Her WWE Career

Becky Lynch was recently interviewed by Pro Wrestling Illustrated. During the interview, Becky opened up about her battle with depression prior to her WWE career.

This came after Becky suffered a head injury in 2006. She would only wrestle a handful of times over the next 6 years prior to signing with WWE.

Here is what she said:

“It felt like death to me. was Rebecca [Knox], the wrestler. And then I wasn’t the wrestler, so who the hell was Rebecca? It was my whole goal that I wanted to change the landscape of women, to just go out there and just wrestle and make people care. Then, all of a sudden, I was just lost with no goals, no ambition. I felt like I let everybody down. And I was so ashamed. I just remember pure shame, of not being able to know what I was going to do with myself, not being able to own up to the fact that I wasn’t doing it, or that I was confused about it.”

just thought that the door closed for me for life. This fear of success, but fear of failure. Fear of … I don’t know … of the future, really. And I went into a depression. But I would always write in my journal that I felt like I had unfinished business. That I should be in WWE, but I didn’t know how to get back there. I felt like I burned these bridges, but this is what I’m meant to do and how am I going to do it? It was a horrible, harrowing feeling, to not know how to get back there. Luckily, some twist of fate or divine intervention – I don’t know what you want to call it – just brought me back to what I feel is my calling, my destiny, if you believe in those kinds of things. And here we are.”
