The 9 to 5 hitmaker candidly opens up on her mental health struggles.
Dolly Parton has opened up on her mental struggles Dolly Parton has opened up about her past mental health struggles and recalled once feeling so low she considered taking her own life. The 78-year-old country music icon may have enjoyed decades of success, but she has revealed there was a time in the 1990s when a number of struggles left her feeling ‘wounded’ and ‘betrayed’. ‘I was overweight, I was feeling bad and I was going through a business relationship and I had felt betrayed.
Writing in her 2017 memoir Dolly on Dolly, she said: ‘Suddenly I was a middle-aged woman. I went through a dark time, until I made myself snap out of it. ‘On top of being medicated, Dietin’ Dolly would go on liquid protein, Scarsdale, Atkins, the water diet, then I’d binge, diet, gain, start all over again. Eventually my system wouldn’t work anymore. My body couldn’t hold up under that strain. Overeating is as much a sickness as drugs or alcohol.
