Catelynn Opens up About Mental Health & Suicidal Thoughts
Over the years, Catelynn has been open about her struggles with mental health and has used her platform to help create awareness for depression and anxiety.
During a June 2019 appearance on the podcast “Reality Life with Kate Casey,” Catelynn revealed she had struggled with suicidal thoughts after having a miscarriage.
The “Teen Mom” star told the host she kept waking up with panic attacks after losing the baby.
“I think when you keep waking up with panic attacks over and over, it leads me into a depression, and I just remember thinking like, ‘I don’t wanna wake up like this anymore,'” she shared.
Catelynn said her panic attacks led to suicidal thoughts.
“I was just thinking random things like, ‘I’m going to drive off the road and hit that pole,’ or thinking of all these different ways that I could commit suicide,” she told Kate Casey in 2019.
The MTV star then recalled a particularly troubling instance where she considered taking her life while at home.
Catelynn revealed that one day she noticed a belt that her husband had left hanging up on a hook in their bedroom.
“I remember thinking to myself, ‘I could totally use that belt and wrap it around my neck and just be done with it.,'” she revealed.
Thankfully, Catelynn confided in her husband about her mental health struggles.
“I was honest with him,” she said on the podcast.
Catelynn revealed that she told her husband she “needed help” because something was “not right.”
According to People, Catelynn checked into rehab for her mental health struggles in November 2017.
