Wednesday, January 31, 2024 – American comedian and actor, Drew Carey has opened up about some of his darkest days.
During his appearance on Max’s “Who’s Talking to Chris
Wallace?” Friday, the “Price Is Right” host, 65, recalled trying to take his
own life when he was 18 and in his early 20s.
“I think the suicide attempts were calls for help,” he said
according to Entertainment Weekly.
“I was so mad that everybody was having a good time. I
remember that.”
“I remember walking down the stairs and everybody’s drinking
and I was like, ‘What the hell are they so happy about?'”
He added, “I was just angry that they were so happy. I was
just tired of my life and [thought], ‘Who’s gonna miss me?'”
“I was so mad that everybody was having a good time. I
remember that,” he recalled
The comedian admitted that even now, he still has
“Who’s-gonna-miss-me?” type of thoughts.
“A lot of times I think to myself. Like, ‘If I die, I’m just
gonna have my body cremated.’ No funeral and anything associated with, like,
all my mementos and stuff,” he detailed.
“You can just burn them and give them away. Like, who
cares?”
Carry now says that his mental health is doing much better
today than it was during the roughest periods of his life.
Carey has opened up about his mental health in the past,
revealing to Access Hollywood (via Today) in 2007 that he was “depressed for a
long time.”
He said he learned to work through his rough mental health
days by looking forward to all the opportunities life was giving him.
“I learned how to believe in myself. Learned how to set
goals, you know, self help books man,” he said.
“I just read every single one I can get a hold of and I
still do. I read that stuff all the time still.”
He added, “I am always coming out bigger, better, stronger
and happier
He told Wallace that his success has molded him into a more
confident person.
“[Fame has] changed a lot of things for me. Like, don’t take
things personally,” he stated
“I took everything personally. If somebody wrote a bad
review, I’d be like, ‘What the hell? Coming after my money?'”
“All that’s gone.”
