the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative affect on her mental health and even had her temporarily contemplating suicide. "So during this pandemic, it's been hard on all of us and I had a moment.
I had a dark moment. I was in a dark place," she said on Peace of Mind with Taraji on Facebook Watch. "For a couple of days, I couldn't get out of bed, I didn't care.
That's not me."She suddenly thought suicide might be the best solution."I started having thoughts about ending it," she said. "It happened two nights in a row and I purchased a gun not too long ago, it's in a safe, and I started like, 'I could go in there right now and end it all, because I want it to be over.'"The "Empire" actress' said she even began wondering how suicide would affect.
