[Trigger warning: suicide, self-harm] US actress Constance Wu made a suicide attempt three years ago, bruised by a bitter social media backlash, the “Crazy Rich Asians” star said.
After surviving the suicide attempt, Wu put her career on hold and left social media to focus on her mental health.But she decided to return to online platforms and share her story in order to launch a broader discussion about mental health among Asian Americans.“While we’re quick to celebrate representation wins, there’s a lot of avoidance around the more uncomfortable issues within our community.
Wu said in her post on Thursday that those tweets were “careless.” She had also explained at the time that she was upset because the show’s renewal would put her other projects on hold. “Even though I’m scared, I’ve decided that I owe it to the me-of-3-years-ago to be brave and share my story so that it might help someone with theirs,” the actress wrote.
If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Center for Mental Health hotline at 0917-899-USAP ; 7-989-USAP; or 1553 .
