Jemimah Rodrigues reveals struggling with mental health issues and anxiety
Jemimah was visibly emotional after her perfect score, as her struggle wasn’t easy. She had to stage a comeback constantly. After winning the Player of the Match award, Jemimah revealed that she has not been doing well mentally. Not just this, the cricketer also revealed going through anxiety throughout the tournament.
Jemimah, who has been constantly put to the test, has faced many tough situations. She wasn’t included in the 2022 World Cup squad, but she didn’t let that deter her spirit. Speaking about the same, she said:
“It was really hard this last month, it feels like a dream and it still has not sunk in. Last year, I was dropped from this World Cup. I was in good form. But things kept happening back-to-back and I could not control anything. I have almost cried every day through this tour.”
Jemimah Rodrigues revealed she remained calm despite going through anxiety
In the same post-match interaction, Jemimah thanked God for taking her through the difficult time. The cricketer also shared that she began quoting scripture from the Bible towards the end of the match. In her words:
“Not doing well mentally, going through anxiety. I knew I had to show up and God took care of everything. Initially, I was just playing and I kept talking to myself. Towards the end, I was just quoting a scripture from the Bible, to just stand still and that God will fight for me. I just stood there and he fought for me. A lot inside me was left, but I was trying to stay calm.”
