Killswitch Engage's Jesse Leach Reflects On Suicidal Past

(TeamRock Radio) Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach recalls the moment he overcame suicidal thoughts and says there is always hope for anyone in a similar situation.

Leach says he "could not have asked for a better home to be raised in" but adds that even that wasn't enough to keep him free of depression. Raised as a Christian, he says it was when he began to question his faith that his depression really took hold.

He tells the You Rock Foundation: "I had one night in particular where I was ready, it was just total hopelessness. I had divine intervention, whatever you want to call it, it happened to me. Call it what you will, if you don't believe in God, call it intuition.

"I was watching the leaves fall off this tree and I felt like I was one of those leaves that just gave up. It was as if all this pain could be gone if I just did this. I scared myself because I had entertained the thought enough where I considered it.

"From that point on something happened and I went into survival mode. The thought that I could get up right now and do anything. That was the hope that came into my life." Read the rest of his comments here.
