Spiranac’s depression had gotten worse over the years and reached its apex when she was a senior in college. She described feeling low and not wanting to get out of bed. She stated, “[I] just didn’t want to deal with life anymore.”

Her antidepressants were only making things worse because Spiranac had not stopped drinking. Her breaking point was when she thought about taking her own life. She climbed onto the roof of a building in a parking lot and stared down, contemplating a jump. But she couldn’t do it.

Years later, Paige went through the same overwhelming feeling and wanted to take her own life. Just before her first game as a golf professional in Dubai, someone threatened to release Spiranac’s naked photo. The social media icon could not stomach the thought. She stated, “I locked myself in the bathroom, just trying to find anything I could to not deal with tomorrow.”

How did Spiranac deal with her depression?

Her mental stress in college had left Spiranac broken and at the bottom. She could no longer take it and decided to do something about it. She altered her diet and started working out. The golf beauty also stopped partying and drinking and got off her anti-anxiety medication. All she hoped for was to be her happy self before college.

Paige explained that she was tackling one problem at a time. And after her drinking and pilling stopped, she was left to deal with her biggest issues. “Now with my anxiety and my depression I just try to handle it head-on,” she stated.
