Love Is Blind Star Reveals Heartbreaking Struggle with Suicide Thoughts

Love Is Blind Star Marshall Glaze Opens Up About His Darkest Struggle: Battling Depression and Suicidal Thoughts

The drama, the romance, the tears – we thought we knew it all about Love Is Blind, but little did we know that one of its stars was secretly fighting a much bigger battle. Marshall Glaze, the 29-year-old Netflix sensation from Maryland, has finally broken his silence on the mental health struggles he's faced in the past.

On Wednesday's episode of What's the Reality? podcast, Glaze poured out his heart to host AD Smith about experiencing dark thoughts that took him to a terrifying point. "Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life," he revealed with heartbreaking honesty.

Glaze admitted that before this point, he had always been morbidly curious but never thought about how to end his life. However, as the low points mounted, he began to feel like he was trapped in a box, with no escape from the darkness. "One day, I'm just down in the dumps, just crazy depressed," he recalled. "I feel like nothing is going right – that's what my internal monologue is telling me."

Glaze candidly shared how his thoughts turned into voices, and the darkness began to consume him. He felt like he was losing control, and it took a toll on his relationship with loved ones. When talking about his mom, he revealed, "I was OK with that being the last time I talked to her... I talk to my mom every day, multiple times throughout the day, and I was OK with that being the last time." This statement shook listeners as they realized just how dire things had become for the young reality TV star.

But in a shocking turn of events, Glaze told Smith that it was during a rainy walk outside his Seattle apartment that he made the decision to choose life. "I want to live," he declared, finally breaking free from the chains of depression.

Glaze has been open about his personal struggles on social media and in interviews, including sharing his engagement with Chay Barnes in January 2024, which ultimately ended in September. Before that, fans remember him falling head over heels for Jackie Bonds on Love Is Blind, but their love story didn't have a fairytale ending either – they called off the wedding in an explosive April 2023 episode.

This isn't the first time Glaze has spoken out about his mental health journey, but it's clear that sharing his story brings him peace and helps him heal. "Sharing my story helps me heal, and I hope that someone out there can resonate with that and choose life," he said on the podcast.

When asked how he finds strength in speaking up, Glaze explained, "It almost sounds silly, like if I say what I was dealing with out loud... But it's just that internal monologue that drives you deeper down that hole. That's why I feel it helps me talk about it."

The reality TV star emphasized the importance of breaking free from the stigma surrounding mental health and sharing one's struggles to find solace in knowing they're not alone.

It's clear that Glaze has found a new sense of purpose by using his platform to raise awareness and help others struggling with depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts. And it seems like he's not doing this alone – the podcast teased their latest episode on Instagram, hinting at an explosive conversation between Glaze and Sandy Gal from The Ultimatum.
