Taraji P. Henson opened up about her personal mental health issues amid the quarantine, revealing that things got so bad that she thought about suicide! Here’s what she had to say!
During the latest installment of Peace of Mind With Taraji – her Facebook Watch series – the star spoke to Dr. LaShonda Green and has been very open about the things she has been through that year.
Apparently she felt isolated and withdrawn due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the dark thoughts took over, causing Taraji to consider killing himself!
She recalled, “It was difficult for all of us during this pandemic, and I had a dark moment. I was in a very dark place. I couldn’t get up for a couple of days, I didn’t care. That is not me. Then I started worrying about ending it. It happened 2 nights in a row. ‘
To make matters worse, Taraji announced that she had bought a gun not long ago and thought to herself, “I could go in there now and finish it all because I want it to be over.”
Even when her 26-year-old son came to mind, she was trying to convince herself that he would survive losing his mother since he’s already an adult.
At one point, she stopped responding to concerned family members trying to reach out to her, and then she realized that she really needed to open up about how she was feeling.
“Eventually, I was talking to a friend of mine and I knew I was smart enough to say,” I have to say it. “Because part of me was ashamed. I said,” I don’t want you to think I’m crazy. I don’t want you to be obsessed with me or think that you have to come and sit on me. ‘One day I blurted out my friend. She called me in the morning and I just said, “You know, I was thinking about killing myself last night. Oh my god, I feel a lot better. I’m not going to do it now.”
