Miller says he attempted suicide before the start of last season and praised Ohio State head coach Ryan Day for the immediate support he provided when the assistant referee opened up to him about it.
“I would not normally share such information,” Miller wrote in a two-page Twitter message. “However, because I played football, I no longer have the privilege of privacy, so I will be sharing my story for a while before more articles continue to ask, ‘What is wrong with Harry Miller.
“That’s a good question. It’s a good enough question for me not to know the answer, even though I’ve asked it often.”
Miller says Day put him in contact with two doctors who gave him support. A few weeks later, Miller tried playing football again “with scars on my wrist and throat”.
He continued, “It may have been difficult to see the scars while my wrist was tied with duct tape.” “Maybe it was hard to see the scars through the bright colors of TV. Maybe the scars were hard to hear on all the talk shows and interviews. They’re hard to see, and they’re easy to hide, but they definitely hurt.”
“There was a dead man on the TV, but no one knew him.”
Miller says at the time that he “would have preferred to die than be a coward” and was afraid to reach out because of the reaction he saw to others in his position.
“I’ve seen the old adage about how our generation was blessed with a second, but I can tell you my skin was rough,” he says. “It should have been. But it was no stronger than the sharp metal of my box cutter.
“And I saw how easy it was for people to dismiss other people by saying they were just a stupid college kid who didn’t know anything.
“But fortunately, I’m an engineering student, and I have a 4.0 and any awards you might need, so maybe if someone’s mischief can be taken seriously for once, it could be mine.”
Miller, a former five-star recruit, says Day is helping him find a different way to help others in Ohio’s football program who may also struggle with mental health, and he hopes “athletic departments across the country will do the same.” thing.”
“If not for him [Day] And workers, my words won’t be a reflection,” Miller says. You will be evidence at the autopsy.”
