Michelle Williams Is Opening up about her depression.
Atlanta – Michelle Williams was on CBS yesterday on “The Talk” where she opened up about being in the spotlight and being mentally depressed on the inside. On the talk she opened up about feeling depressed in her early teenage years and how she thought it was just a phase.
Williams goes on to say “For years, I was in one of the top-selling female groups of all time and i was suffering with depression. It got really bad to the point of being suicidal. I was at that place where it was so dark and heavy and i knew i was the provider, I take care of people, so why am i feeling this way? what do I do? and I wanted out.”
With Michelle feeling so down and out she did make an attempt to seek out help to conquer her mental health issue. With seeking out people for help her, she mentioned how she vented how she felt to her ex group manager Mathew Knowles. Knowles responded “You all just signed a multi-million dollar deal. You’re about to go on tour. What do you have to be depressed about?”
After re assuring herself that she was okay and just tired, Sadly things were getting worse from there. When she kept ignoring her depression issue that’s when her mental health turned to suicidal and she wanted out of the group.
Williams states “I think at the age of 25, I found out what I was feeling at the time, I’ve been suffering from depression.”
What got her to open up about this situation is seeing other women do it and seeing powerful women and men using their voice to help others overcome their depression and pain. Don’t be afraid to reach out to others if you need help, because we all go through it.
