Wentz Admits He Tried To Kill Himself

Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz, has revealed he once tried to kill himself after suffering from depression. The Emo rocker admitted his desperate cry for help in a video interview for the 'Jed Foundation's Half Of Us' campaign, aimed at cutting student suicide rates. During the interview, Wentz says:
"The darkest moment was when we had just finished recording our major label record and two days later...I felt completely lost. At that point, I'd seen some doctors and they were Hollywood doctors so they gave me a cocktail (of prescription doctors) but I was kind of the drugstore cowboy, so I took the cocktail the way I wanted to take it."
Wentz admitted that he visited some doctors, who prescribed him 'Adavan', and a number of other drugs designed for combating depression and anxiety attacks, which he took all in one go. He added:
"I got in my car. I remember I was listening to Jeff Buckley doing Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' and sat there and took a bunch of Adavan in a Best Buy parking lot. I called up my manager because I was, at that point, completely out of my head with Adavan. And I was talking to him and slurring my words, so he called my mom and my mom called me and she came and got me and we went to the hospital." "I came home and we realized that we needed to do more than just keep my head above water. It's not really about keeping your head above water, it's about feeling all right and feeling safe in your own skin. It's not about keeping your head above water and barely keep going."
