Singer Madison Beer and talk show host Drew Barrymore opened up about their struggles with mental health during a recent interview on The Drew Barrymore Show. Madison, who recently penned a memoir titled The Half of It, spoke about her experience with suicidal thoughts and post-traumatic stress disorder.

She revealed that she made two attempts at taking her own life, having reached a point where she could no longer ignore her deep-seated issues. Madison shared that she had been living a life assigned to her, pretending everything was fine until everything caught up to her.

She described being in a suicidal mindset for at least a year before her first attempt. Drew, who has also experienced similar struggles, empathized with Madison, revealing that she had attempted suicide twice in her younger years. “I don’t know if I wanted to leave the Earth.

I was so desperate that I did not know where else to turn,” Drew said. Madison chimed in, describing how she just wanted a “temporary death” to escape her pain. Madison shared that she underwent mental health retreats and therapy and committed to doing a lot of inner child work, eventually finding a better place in her mental health.

She stated that she had started to love herself as much as she tried to love others, which made a significant difference. Drew praised Madison for her openness and bravery, acknowledging the importance of seeking help and realizing that you don’t have to be anyone but yourself.

This candid conversation between Madison and Drew highlights the importance of speaking up about mental health issues and seeking help. The duo’s honesty and willingness to share their stories can inspire others in similar situations to reach out for support.

It is crucial to remember that struggling with mental health issues is not uncommon, and there is no shame in seeking help. Madison’s story proves that, with hard work, commitment, and self-love, it is possible to overcome even the darkest moments.
