Kid Cudi checks into rehab: 'There's a ragin' violent storm inside of my heart'

Kid Cudi has checked himself into rehab citing depression and suicidal urges.

The hip-hop star shared the troubling news with a confessional message posted Tuesday night to his Facebook page. Cudi repeatedly apologized as he admitted hiding his demons from the wider world for too long.

"I am not at peace. I haven't been since you've known me," he revealed to his 10 million-plus followers. "If I didn't come here, I would've done something to myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions everyday of my life. Theres a ragin' violent storm inside of my heart at all times. Idk what peace feels like. Idk how to relax. My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it. I cant make new friends because of it. I don't trust anyone because of it and Im tired of being held back in my life. I deserve to have peace. I deserve to be happy and smiling."

Kid Cudi Reveals His Struggle With Drugs and Depression: 'I Was Living a Nightmare'

Cudi, who signed off with his birthname Scott Mescudi, says he checked himself in on Monday (Oct. 3) but naturally didn't name the institution. He assured his goal is to "fix me" and his music biz team has his back while he recovers.

It's a worrying turn of events for the artist who has spoken in the past of his struggles with depression and drugs. Cudi had been moving forward with new music, dropping the track "Frequency" early this year and putting his critically panned alt-rock album, 2015's Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven, in the rearview.

"I wont be around to promote much, but the good folks at Republic and my manager Dennis will inform you about upcoming releases," he notes. "The music videos, album release date etc. The album is still on the way. Promise."
