Senator John Fetterman opened up about his battle with depression, discussing the dark thoughts and self-harm conversations he had with himself.
He sought treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after experiencing a stroke and auditory processing issues during his 2022 campaign.
Fetterman initially feared that sharing his inpatient treatment would end his career, but he later considered it a breakthrough. (Trending: Obama Judge Issues Shock Ruling Against Democrats)
“This is a conversation that I’ve had with myself and anybody that knows they’re unable to address their depression, is they start to have dark conversations with themself about self-harm,” said Sen. Fetterman.
“And things continued to kind of tick off the list. And then I kind of hit the emergency brake,” he continued.
He emphasized the importance of addressing depression and encouraged those struggling to hold on and seek help, highlighting the potential for improvement with the right commitment.
Fetterman said, “no matter how bad it might … look right now, I’m begging you, it’s not that bad, it’s not that bad. And even if you think that’s true, hold on. Just, you got to hold on. And you can’t imagine how much better it can get if you make the investment and the commitment to just hold that line and work to get better.”
