Singer Ginuwine lost his father to suicide in 1999 and then his mother the next year, and according to him, the grief left him wanting to take his own life. He would eventually receive the help he needed, but it wasn’t easy.

“After my father shot himself to death and my mother died from cancer less than a year later, I really didn’t want to be here anymore, I didn’t want to live and tried to commit suicide more than once,” he said. “There was no one around that I really loved at the time, so I turned to the drinking and drugs like weed and ecstasy. I was done mentally and emotionally to the point that I had to go see a psychiatrist, but that didn’t do any good because I wasn’t interested. In fact, the two times I visited him I was high. I was depressed and felt like I had nobody to talk to that could relate to me.”
