“I thought I was possessed,” Pinkett Smith said in the clip. She also opened up about how it felt when she realized that they were her thoughts. While it was undoubtedly a difficult time for the star, her memoir, Worthy, also talks about how her children helped her through that phase. Jada Pinkett Smith also revealed that she had had suicidal thoughts, however, she had already opened up about how she dealt with those feelings.

While not everyone approved of how she had made it through to the other side, she revealed that her children, Willow and Jaden Smith, were the ones who changed her outlook on life.

How Jada Pinkett Smith overcame her struggle with suicidal thoughts

Over a decade ago, Jada Pinkett Smith was in the worst phase of her life. Even though the actress had so much going for her, she struggled with her mental health. Especially with her self-esteem and suicidal thoughts. A month ago, she opened up about that time in her life. While she had already penned down a lot of it in her bombshell memoir, Worthy, there were some pieces of the story that fans already knew.

She recalled that her son, Jaden, had told her about one of his friend’s dad who had gone through a similar situation. He told her that the dad had been a part of an ayahuasca ceremony and it had helped him make his way through the depressive fog. That is when the star decided to try it for herself. Thankfully, the first experience was enough to push away the suicidal thoughts completely. However, she did not stop there, she also went through a psychedelic experience with her children that when revealed did not sit right with fans.
