Taraji P. Henson Opens Up About Suicidal Thoughts & Mental Health
Shining a light on psychological health.
Last month, Taraji P. Henson exposed that at the height of the pandemic, she thought about taking her own life. Now, in discussion with E! News’ Justin Sylvester, the Golden Globe-winning, Oscar-chosen starlet is opening up about the dark duration in her life, in addition to her continuous psychological health battles, in the hopes that others will understand they aren’t alone and attempt to look for assistance.
“I went to sleep and kept imagining that gun,” Taraji remembered on Friday, Jan. 29’s Daily Pop. “I knew that I had to get it out of my head. I knew that I had to say it, because if I didn’t say it, if I keep it to myself, then you think about it so much it, then it becomes a plan.”
Thankfully, the 50-year-old did admit what she had actually been considering, and eventually leaned on her buddy considering that seventh grade, Tracie Jade, for assistance.
