Zachary Levi Reveals Confessions About His Dark Past When He Was Depressed And Severe Mental Health Disorders Even Almost Suicide.
American actor Zachary Levi recently revealed the story of his dark past. Which, at that time, Levi felt empty and helpless due to the mental health disorder he was experiencing.
Through his new memoir "Radical Love", Levi reveals that the darkest period in his life occurred before the age of 37. Levi even admitted that he had the desire to end his own life during those times.
"I've been through a very dark period in my life before 37. When I thought about ending my own life, but this was the darkest," Levi said.
Levi did not deny that depression and mental disorders were one of the factors that caused him to stop acting for almost two years. Levi felt that whatever he did would fail. The thought continued to haunt Levi and made him lose focus in his career.
"I felt like I had failed no matter how much I had accomplished, and in that moment," he said.
Levi realized that many people were surprised by his confession because he didn't look like he was in a slump. Levi admits he is indeed quite good at hiding problems and sorrows.
The 41-year-old actor is also good at recovering and motivating himself. He vents his grief through alcohol, drugs and sex. Even so, Levi has many wounds and traumas that he cannot share with everyone.
"No matter what it looks like from the outside, I'm really good at covering it up," Levi explained. "I'm also really good at self-medicating all these things through sex and drugs and liquor but I'm running from so much trauma, so much pain."
Levi hopes that his experience and life story can inspire many people. He wants those who have experienced the same thing to get up and get back to living a good life.
"For one, it's real and vulnerable, and I hope this book helps some people walk through the fires I can walk through." (wk/Side)
