Pete Wentz’s Suicide Attempt
Pete Wentz confessed about his suicide attempt resulted by his growing depression with the success of his band Fall Out Boy.
Wentz was joined stars such as Mary J. Blige and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan as a spokesperson for the Jed Foundation’s Half Of Us campaign which is aimed at cutting student suicide rates.
The trio spilled out on each of their darkest hour in an interview that appear on MTV’s college channel mtvU.
In the interview, Pete admits to being paralyzed by anxiety and depression at the beginning of his career and he felt so lost and alone till a point he attempted suicide.
“I got in my car. I remember I was listening to Jeff Buckley doing Leonard Cohen’s (song) Hallelujah and sat there and took a bunch of (prescription drug) Adavan in a Best Buy (store) parking lot.
“And I called up my manager because I was, at that point, completely out of my head with Adavan. And I was talking to him and I was slurring my words, so he called my mom and my mom called me and she came and got me and we went to the hospital.
“I came home and we realised that we needed to do more than just keep (my) head above water. It’s not really about keeping your head above water, it’s about feeling all right and feeling safe in your own skin. It’s not about keeping your head above water and barely keep going.”
Life may be a challenge but suicide is never the answer!
