Christina Applegate opens up to Jamie-Lynn Sigler on their podcast 'MeSsy' about feeling 'trapped in this darkness' and going through a depression. The 52-year old actress is currently battling MS.
Christina Applegate is clarifying her recent remarks about how she no longer 'enjoys living' amid her battle with multiple sclerosis.
She explained that although she struggles with 'dark thoughts,' it is 'healing' for her to be able to speak honestly about her mental health. Applegate said it bothered her that people made a 'big deal' out of what she said because it perpetuates a stigma around discussions of mental health. 'No, you have moments of feeling, 'This is tiring and I don't want to do this.' But you do it, and by having friends like and my beautiful friends that I have saying this s**t loud it releases the pressure in the balloon, man.'
Applegate clarified that it's not that they don't want to live anymore but that they 'pray to not wake up .' 'Of course, you want to be there. You know, we have children. We have family. We have loved ones. It's OK for us to say,"I don't want to wake up like this,"' she continued.Earlier this month, Applegate described the mental anguish she had been feeling on her podcast, admitting she had been in a 'real' depression as she copes with her chronic condition.
'But what makes it harder is when you compare it to how it used to be. I mean I still do it all the time, but in the moments where I have just a little more acceptance.. it takes a little bit of the suffering out of it,' she continued.
