Does anyone feel like the life has been sucked out of Antoni lately. He seems depressed or sad in some ways. The energy I use to see in him is gone if you look at his photos lately or videos. It’s like that spark and youth is gone. I know the pandemic was hard. His restaurant closed in NYC. No one liked it but I did and would go. Something is off. Anyone else notice it ?

I know he talked about depression before. I hope he is okay.

On the turning point of his struggles with his mental health, Antoni said: “I have an addictive personality and sometimes that manifests itself in a good way and sometimes not in such a good way. My 20s were nuts.”
He said he understood depression and mental health a lot better in his 20s after he woke up one morning. For the first time in his life, he “felt nothing” and “flatlined”, which he said was the most terrifying moment in his life.
“I decided to reach out to someone who sort of went through a similar thing,” he continued. “Because I knew it was something I was going to be ready for eventually, but I didn’t know to what capacity or how I wanted to go about it.
“I had a really honest conversation with her and she helped me. I made a decision and I made a choice that day, and it’s something that’s ongoing; it’s not like something that goes away and now I’m cured.”
