Singer Justin Bieber Struggled With Suicidal Thoughts, Says 'The Pain Was Consistent'
It is easy to mistake celebrities for having it all. Their lives are full of glitz and glamour, but there's a lot that hides behind those extravagant mansions. Most of them find it hard to deal with fame and to maintain it.
Justin Bieber, the Canadian singer-songwriter, who skyrocketed to fame at the age of 16, recently revealed about his struggle with suicidal thoughts.
"There were times where I was really, really suicidal. Like, man is this pain ever going to go away? It was so consistent, the pain was so consistent," he said in his latest YouTube Originals documentary Justin Bieber: Next Chapter.
"I was just suffering, right? So, I¡¯m just like, man, I would rather not feel this than feel this," he said and added that his faith gave him the "overwhelming confidence" to recover. "I had no idea that this life would take me by storm. I had no idea that I would just get sucked up by all of this stuff."
He urged his fans to seek help if they feel lonely.?"I just would encourage people, like, ¡®Hey, if you¡¯re feeling lonely, talk about it. Say it out loud.¡¯ There¡¯s a freedom in that. I could have avoided a lot of pain."
Post the release of the documentary, he also took to Twitter to give his fans a update about his mental health. ¡°The last 8 months have been a time for growth. Happy and healthy,¡± he tweeted.
