On the second episode of her talk show on Facebook, ‘Peace of Mind with Taraji’,
the actress revealed that she’s had her share of dark moments during the pandemic.
Henson said she was unable to get out of bed for days and didn’t care about anything.
She then started to have thoughts about taking her own life, noting that there was a gun in her home and that at any moment, she could’ve ended it all.
Started like, ‘if I could go in there right now and end it all’… cause I want it to be
over like, but it’s in my head, you know?”,she said.
However, Henson thought about
her 26-year-old son, Marcell Johnson, and how it would the act would affect him. “I said, ‘he’s grown, he’ll get over it.’ You know what I mean? I just didn’t care. I felt myself withdrawing. People were calling me and I wasn’t responding. I didn’t care.”
Taraji eventually shared this with one of her close friends and opened up about her
thoughts in order to sort out them out.
