‘Love Is Blind’ alum Marshall Glaze is sharing a deeply personal part of his life. On the June 4 episode of ‘What’s the Reality?’ Podcast hosted by Amber Desiree “AD” Smith, Glaze revealed how tough the past year has been on his mental health.
Marshall Glaze Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles
“Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life,” he said. “It just got to a point where I had always been morbidly curious, but never thought about how to do it.”
Glaze described a dark time when nothing could lift his spirits. “One day, I’m just down in the dumps, just crazy depressed. Nothing is going right for me in my life, or I feel like nothing is going right, that’s what my internal monologue is telling me,” he said.
“Those voices, that darkness just got a little bit louder, got a little bit darker.”
He felt trapped, as if he were stuck in a shrinking space. “I was in this box, and the walls were just getting closer and closer and closer,” he shared. “No favorite meal, no favorite movie, no favorite song, could lift me out of that.”
Glaze realized how serious things had become when he spoke to his mom. “I knew I had a problem when, this particular time I talked to my mom, I was okay with that being the last time I talked to her.”
“I Want to Live”: Marshall’s Moment of Clarity
He explained how a walk in the rain changed everything. “Seattle is a very rainy city, and this was at peak rain season,” he said. “I lived on a very busy street in downtown Seattle, and at any time of the day, there’s buses, cars, bikes, people walking, and nobody was out there.”
Wearing just a cut-off T-shirt, basketball shorts, and slides, Glaze walked around the Space Needle. When he returned to his apartment, he had a life-changing realization.
“I walked around the Space Needle, came around back to my apartment, and I’m like, ‘I want to live.'”
Sharing his story is part of his healing. “I hope that someone out there can resonate with that and choose life.”
