You tend to thing to people who seem to have it all, or who seem so strong, are immune to the very human issue of mental health.  I’m proud of Taraji for speaking out on this. The Oscar nominee described the harrowing “dark moment” she experienced in recent months. “For a couple of days, I couldn’t get out of the bed, I didn’t care. That’s not me. Then, I started having thoughts about ending it,” she said during her Facebook Watch series, “Peace of Mind with Taraji,” The “Empire” star, 50, said these thoughts occurred “two nights in a row, and noted that she owns a gun, which she keeps in a safe. “If I could go in there right now, and just end it all ’cause I want it to be over, ” Henson recalled of her thoughts. “Thought about my son [Marcell Johnson], I said, ‘He’s grown, he’ll get over it,’” she continued. Henson said she felt herself withdrawing from loved ones during this period. “People were calling me, I wasn’t responding. I didn’t care,” Henson said. Henson said she finally told a friend about her headspace, adding she felt partly “ashamed.” “I was like, ‘I don’t want them to think I’m crazy.’ I don’t want them to, you know, obsess over me or think they gotta come and sit on me,” Henson said. “So one day I just blurted it out to my girlfriend. She called me in the morning and I was like, ‘You know I thought about killing myself last night.’” Henson, who conversed Wednesday with licensed psychologist Dr. LaShonda Green, said she felt if she kept her thoughts inward it would become a “plan.” “At first it was like, ‘I don’t want to be here,’ then I started thinking about going to get the gun. That’s why when I woke up the next morning, I blurted it out because I felt like after a while it was going to take over me and it was going to become a plan,” she added. “There would be days when my brain wouldn’t stop racing with the worst scenarios in the world, which would heighten my anxiety,” she told Self magazine at the time. “There was no shame when I started to recognize it. It was like, ‘I have to get some help,’ because I’m the life of the party and when I go dark, I go dark. I don’t want to leave the house.” The post Taraji P.

John Mulaney checked himself into rehab this week for alcohol and coke addiction.  I have to admit, this came as a shock to me, although die hard fans new he struggled for a long time. Long time friends, fans and fellow comedians reached out via twitter to share the love and positive energy while their friend completes a 60 day stint. ????????????????????????????????@mulaney???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? — Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) December 21, 2020 Sending SO MUCH love and support to John Mulaney.

Gillian Anderson and Peter Morgan have called it quits after four years of dating. The Emmy-winning actress, 52, and the creator of The Crown, 57, have amicably split, according to a report from U.K. columnist Baz Bamigboye of the Daily Mail. According to Bamigboye, Anderson and Morgan began dating back in 2016, though the former couple never moved in together. A source tells PEOPLE that the pair — who worked together on the recent season of the Netflix royals series, as Anderson portrayed British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher — have “highly-demanding schedules.” A rep for Anderson declined to comment on the actress’ personal life. Morgan’s rep also declined to comment. Anderson split from first husband Clyde Klotz — with whom she shares daughter Piper, 26 — in 1997, and from second husband Julian Ozanne in 2006. The Sex Education actress was later with Mark Griffiths from 2006 to 2015. They have two children, sons Oscar, 14, and Felix, 12. Morgan has five children from a previous marriage.
