Simone Biles was forced to withdraw from five of the six finals at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (Credit: Agência Brasil Fotografias/ CC BY 2.0/ Wikimedia Commons)

Thanks to hours of training, gymnasts seem to effortlessly fly through the air at impossible heights. However, a psychological condition, known as "the twisties," can sidetrack even the most experienced gymnast. The phenomenon, attributed to stress, disorients the athletes and causes them to lose awareness while they are in the middle of a routine. It can lead to serious injury.

        As someone with mental health issues, I can say that even though I don't have the twisties, I can say that yes, at the end of the day we are still human. We still have feelings and a life. I think that some people forget that and treat us differently. But always remember, that if you feel out of place, or that you're alone, you're not! You are loved by so many people. Ugg, now I'm getting emotional. But anyway, I think that Simone was right in putting her mental health first. Remember, you are SO much more important than an Olympic Medal. And think of how much that is! #Youareloved <3
