Tim Gunn revealed that he once tried to kill himself. Since the story of a gay college student who killed himself after a bout of pretty vicious bullying hit the media, many celebrities have stepped forward to speak out against bullying.
Tim Gunn – Project Runway’s teacher voice of reason – was the latest to step forward to reveal that he was once a tormented youth.
“As a 17-year-old youth who was in quite a bit of despair, I attempted to kill myself and I’m very happy today that that attempt was unsuccessful but at the time it’s all that I could contemplate. I woke up the morning after taking over a hundred pills and I was in a whole other level of despair. I thought, ‘I shouldn’t be here. This isn’t what was meant to be.’ I frankly just wanted to start life all over again.”
Gunn finishes his statement telling those listening (and possibly heartbroken themselves) that there are people out there to help.
