He experienced major episodes of anxiety and insomnia, two things he has been experiencing for a long time, but last year, he reached his limit, so he retired. A very brave decision that I still applaud six months later. He had the courage and this withdrawal has become an example for people who are suffering.
Anyway, all this leads me to a very emotional and inspiring text from Guillaume Lefrançois, who spoke with Kyle Okposo. As a reminder, Okposo went through periods of psychosis, paranoia, and insomnia in 2017, so he was in a good position to contact and dialogue with Jonathan Drouin.
"I'll keep what he told me between us, but for my part, I told him what I had been through. I basically had an episode of psychosis and paranoia. I couldn't sleep, I had insomnia, I was hospitalized for eight weeks. Jonathan had no idea that I had gone through this. He hadn't spoken publicly at the time of our conversation. I'm really glad he came forward with his experience to help people!" - Okposo
Jo certainly had to be touched by this call from Okposo, who took the time to check in on #92. That, to me, shows what a great human Kyle Okposo is. Perso, I love this type of story, it really touches me!
