After the death of her father, Paris Jackson suffered through suicide attempts, self-harm and an eating disorder, she now reveals.
at the time: “Paris had an accident this morning that required medical treatment. She is currently resting at home and doing fine.”In the Facebook episode, she said that while she battles depression, she prefers not to take antidepressants as they leave her feeling “numb”.
“My depression comes in waves. I’m not on medication. I used to be on antidepressants and mood stabilisers, but it kind of clouded my third eye and I couldn’t laugh as deeply,” she revealed. “So even though the lows are unbearably low, I would still rather that than nothing. Pain is way better than just [being] numb because at least you’re feeling something.”
