Sharon Osbourne has attempted suicide three times: 'I’m still here'

Sharon Osbourne has spent decades in the public eye, but many of her battles were fought privately.

During a candid conversation on Tuesday's "The Talk," Osbourne casually disclosed that she's attempted suicide three separate times: "I was joking about this, but I shouldn’t, talking about my depression," she said. "You know, saying, '‘Oh, the first time I tried to kill myself was okay, the second — all right, the third time, oy."

She continued, "I'm still here ... I wish everybody could think flowers and daisies and princesses, but you can’t."

Osbourne, 66, has spoken before about her lifelong mental health difficulties: “I think if you are born with [depression] you have it all your life, and it’s an ongoing battle," she told Access Hollywood in 2016.

During a particular "low point" in her life, "I had given up. I just couldn't deal ... I was very frightened about what was going on with me mentally and the thoughts that were going into my head constantly."

Her daughter, Kelly Osbourne has also spoken out about her mental health journey. In 2018, the 34-year-old told the Sun that she believes everyone should give therapy a fair shot: "You work out to keep your body good, so you go to therapy to keep your mind good," she said.
