Hip-hop artist and actor Kid Cudi announced
yesterday that he is currently receiving treatment for depression and
suicidal thoughts.
In a Facebook post he said, “It’s been difficult for me to find the
words to what I’m about to share with you because I feel ashamed…”
Shame and guilt are, unfortunately, emotions that often accompany depression. The illness takes a big toll on a person’s energy levels, often leading them to stop doing things they feel they should do, want to do, and need to do, and can leave them feeling “lazy” or “worthless.” As they struggle to complete day-to-day tasks and goals, their self-image may also start to suffer, and they may feel ashamed of not achieving their goals or living up to the expectations they have for themselves.
