Replying to Is Alex Schlopy OK?
In the last couple days, Schlopy posted stuff to his Instagram that seemed pretty revealing of someone going through severe depression. In the last few months, he's changed his Instagram bio to something to the degree of "Enough of the past, on to the future." I know he has lost most of his sponsors (all? if he's not with Head Skis anymore) which would definitely change his life to a degree given that his occupation was "Pro-skier" and now he's been doing some cinematography stuff with his dad's company. I'm not sure if all the sponsor dropping stemmed from those Instagram comments for Gus Kenworthy after Gus came out like a year ago, but it definitely could be due in part to that.
Anyways, has anyone noticed anything similar with Schlopy or have any insight as to what's going on? After reading his Instagram post yesterday, which features sentences like, "The weight is stacking up," and, "Sadness and pain have pretty much found the way to engraving the picture of insufficiency, loss and pain in us." I honestly felt a little worried for him just based on words like that and felt like I should say something just in case. You never know!
