Essendon forward Jessica Wuetschner has opened up about the traumatic lightning strike almost three years ago that “ruined her life”.
“I say to the guy who’s working with me, ‘We should not be working right now, it is too bad of a storm, to be out right now,’ but me being just me, little stevedore not in charge, just does what I’m told.”“When this happened, I saw big, bluey white flashes go up my arms, and then I kind of like, from there, just sort of fell to the ground.
Two weeks after the lightning strike, Wuetschner had a breakdown and tried anti-anxiety medication, which had an adverse reaction that ended up making her situation worse. Wuetschner stayed on the medication for about 18 months. It was good at allowing her to get back to some normality in life, including with football, but it didn’t allow her to do the work she needed to move forward with the feelings of anxiety and depression from the incident.Wuetschner played an integral role in the Lions’ 2021 premiership win and was a two-time leading goalkicker for the club.
