"You’re not stupid. You’re not bad. It might feel that way sometimes. But it’s not true."
His message was met with kindness from fans who commented: "Thank you for sharing and helping thousands who may be struggling," and another said. "Thank you for being honest. This will help so many more people."
Rob - who co-owns the Welsh football team with Ryan Reynolds - was inundated with many more messages as he received an outpouring of love from his social media followers.
