Cavs: Delonte West spotted walking around Houston barefoot

**djohn2oo8** · 02-21-2016

All jokes aside, Delonte West is probably off his meds. The former NBA star, who has battled mental health issues in the past, was spotted in Houston, Texas—barefoot.

Reports TMZ:

It’s actually a sad story … the person who shot the photo is a huge basketball fan and said they noticed the former 1st round draft pick wandering around outside of a Jack in the Box around 10 PM all by himself with no shoes.

When the fan approached him and asked, “Are you Delonte West?” — he replied, “I used to be but I’m not about that life anymore.”

We tried contacting West to find out if he’s okay — and even reached out to his old agent — but we couldn’t get in touch with him.

The last we heard from Delonte West, a reportedly suspect Instagram account credited to him was throwing shots at LeBron James at the top of the year.

Delonte West was diagnosed with bipolar disorder during his stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers but it’s his “self destructive behavior” that ushered the 31-year-old out of the NBA.

If you know someone who is in either extreme stage of bipoloar disorder--manic or depressive--the right thing to do is help them get back on their meds or get them to a hospital before they hurt themselves.

Being bipolar is extremely terrible because even the meds make you feel like .
My sis is bi-polar and my friend of 27 years is also.

My sis takes meds and hates them, but she can't function without them, unless she wants to turn into the Joker (trust me- she was one scary mother er. A beauty that wanted to kill you should you even just fart when she's in her "mood". I felt bad for all her boyfriends. She married 7 times). My bud is even more crazy, but he scrapped the meds because he, like her, hated how they made him feel and turned to weed to level him out.
Massive amounts of weed. Daily.

And it doesn't even work, but it can keep him calm from time to time. Such a terrible mental disease- to not be in control of your own emotions...
And the meds, while they may help, make you feel like total .

Damn.

Bipolar is no joke. Meds only allow the afflicted to walk the edge of a cliff. One wrong step and it's back to square one with a load of collateral damage.
