Content warning: This article discusses suicidal ideation.

Marshall Glaze is getting honest about a dark period of his life.

More recently, the former participant from “Love Is Blind” shared insights into his battles with mental health issues that peaked during the past year, a time when he seriously considered ending his life.

He shared with Amber Desiree “AD” Smith during their June 4 podcast episode that he had always been intensely curious but never considered how to fulfill it. One day, feeling deeply down and extremely depressed, with everything in his life seemingly going wrong, he admitted that’s what his inner voice was telling him.

He went on saying, “The voices grew a bit more menacing, and the darkness seemed to deepen and press in around me, making it feel as if I was trapped inside a confined space. Regardless of my attempts to turn or move, it felt as though the walls were closing in on me. Nothing—not even my favorite meals, movies, or songs—could break free this oppressive feeling.

The 29-year-old also detailed the moment he realized his mental health had reached a new level.

Marshall stated that he realized something was amiss when he accepted the fact that his last conversation with his mother was the only one they had recently, despite speaking daily before. He went on to say that he intended to follow through with what he felt was necessary, but couldn’t.

Instead, the reality star decided to step outside and change his current environment.

He vividly recalled his time in Seattle, a city known for its persistent rain, where he resided on a bustling downtown street. At any given hour, you would find buses, cars, bicycles, and pedestrians, but not that day. There was an unusual stillness—no vehicles, no cyclists, no pedestrians, just the sound of the rain. I found myself trudging through it, walking aimlessly. Then, I circled the Space Needle and returned to my apartment, and I thought to myself, ‘I yearn to live here.’

And when AD said she was happy he took that walk, Marshall affirmed, “Me too. I’m glad I’m here.”

In a straightforward manner, Marshall, who was part of season four of the popular show “Love is Blind“, also clarified the reasons behind him deciding to divulge his experiences.

He remarked, “It seems almost absurd, as if I were to verbalize my struggles, I’d respond with disbelief: ‘Really?’ However, it’s the silent dialogue within me that leads me further into confusion, and it is this openness about topics such as suicide, depression, and overall mental health struggles that helps me gain perspective, making me realize I may have been misunderstanding things a bit.

He said, “It aids my healing, and I sincerely hope that someone elsewhere might relate to this and make the decision to live.
