“I think that suicide attempts were calls for help,” Carey, 65, said of his two attempts. “I was so mad that everybody was having a good time, and I was just tired of my life and who’s gonna miss me? I have a lot of that still, like, ‘Who’s gonna miss me?’ type of thing.”
Carey continued, confessing, “I think when, yeah, like, a lot of times I think to myself. Like, if I die, I’m just gonna have my body cremated. No funeral and anything associated with, like, all my mementos and stuff. You can just burn them and give them away. Like, who cares?”
This isn’t the first time the comedian has acknowledged his battle with depression.
In 2007, he spoke about his darker days, but also emphasized the work he had done to break free.
