Eddie Kingston opens up about his mental health and how suicide has impacted his life.
Eddie has never been shy about his mental health struggles, harnessing it in a visceral fashion week in, week out on AEW TV. He has destroyed the walls of how a men’s wrestler should act off screen and his openness about his emotions has lead to many fans admiring that part about Kingston’s personality.
While speaking to Bleacher Reports Doc Mueller, Kingston would reveal how suicide has personally impacted his life.
“I’ve lost a couple of friends to it. Myself, I didn’t attempt it. But I was extremely close to that breaking point, as I like to call it. It feels like the word ‘suicide’ has been around all my life, you know? It seems like it’s always been there. I don’t remember a day where that word wasn’t around.”
