Xavier Woods decided to share a bit from his personal life, revealing that he had dealt with his own demons back in the day.
A younger me once made the decision that I wasnt worth being here anymore. Right before that moment ended, a friend saved me and I'm forever grateful. If you ever feel this way then please talk to someone. Know that you ARE worthy & you ARE worth it.#WorldSuicidePreventationDay

Woods revealed that, at one point, he believed he didn’t deserve to live. Thankfully, a close friend of his helped him realize his worth.
Now, Woods is a YouTube star, a 5-time WWE Tag Team Champion, and has a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology. The man behind UpUpDownDown continues to spread the Power of Positivity, as his message hit close to home with fans.
