I have so much respect for Jarren's decision to talk about this publicly. The more we talk about mental health, depression, and suicide, the more awareness we build and the more people feel it is okay for them to talk about it too. Talking about it saves lives.

😢 Feel for him, depression is a vicious enemy.

Thank you for handling this story so well, Pete. The mama bear in me wants to give him a hug. I hope he feels love and support in the coming days, especially. And every day. He is brave.

Really nice article Pete.

Would love to see the Globe not paywall an article like this.

We're running a business. Our hope is a person interested in journalism still being a business will support that. Giving away our most-read work would defeat that purpose, no?

Understand that Peter, but it would be a nice gesture to have this as a gift article. An uplifting article about depression and suicide could prevent another kid from taking his own life.

The important stuff is free puts us out of business in a hurry.

Well written Pete. Proud of Jarren for sharing. Haters will always be there no matter how good you are. Hopefully this helps him heal, and will undoubtably help others who struggle. Jarren, you are a shining star!

And please tell Jarren I’m glad he’s still around. He matters. He matters a lot.

Well written, Peter. Thoughtful and real. As someone who has Generalized Anxiety Disorder and has felt many of the same issues, thank you for that. Much gratitude. Would you add the 988 hotline to the note at the bottom? Be well my friend.

JFC … my hair stood up.

Great that he felt could share this. Also hope he is still getting the support he needs. I hope this helps other players feel they can talk more about stress and Mental Health.

I hope a story like this makes some "fans" think twice before saying vile things to players.

Great story Pete and thanks for sharing it. Jarren is an inspiration and is a powerful example for others struggling.

Nice job of reporting this. Now that people have had a chance to read and process, and based on the outreach to Samaritans @alexspeier.bsky.social shared, I expect you'll see a much more demonstrative reception for Duran from those who brave the elements tonight. Thanks for the work you do!
