A "Love Is Blind" alum is sharing a powerful message about mental health. Marshall Glaze, who appeared on Season 4 of the Netflix dating series, just opened up about a dark period in his life that occurred last year. While appearing on the latest episode of "Love Is Blind" alum AD Smith's "What's The Reality?" podcast, Glaze acknowledged that he experienced suicidal thoughts amid a mental health crisis. 'Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life,' he said. 'It just got to a point where, I had always been morbidly curious, but never thought about how to do it. And then, one day, I'm just down in the dumps, just crazy depressed. I feel like nothing is going right. That's what my internal monologue is telling me.' Glaze went on to explain that his internal "voices" and "darkness" kept getting "a little bit louder" and "a little bit darker." 'It just felt like the walls were just getting closer and closer and closer, and nothing — no favorite meal, no favorite movie, no favorite song — could lift me out of that. And I knew I had a problem when I was OK with, this particular time that I talked to my mom, I was OK with that being the last time I talked to her,' he recalled. Glaze, who noted that he typically talks to his mom several times a day, said he then knew something was wrong. 'I was going to do what I felt like I had to do, but I couldn't,' he said. Glaze said he decided to take a walk in his Seattle neighborhood to clear his head and said this simple act encouraged him to get help. 'I lived on a very busy street in downtown Seattle, and at any time of the day, there's buses, cars, bikes, people walking, and nobody was out there — no cars, no buses, no bikes, no people, nothing," he said. After walking around in the deserted area, Glaze returned home and had an important realization. "I (was like), 'I want to live,'" he recalled. Smith told Glaze she was happy he decided to go on a walk and get fresh perspective. In response he said, "Thank you. Me too. I'm glad I'm here." "I'm glad you're here. We're all glad you're here," she said. While opening up about his decision to go public with his mental health challenges, Glaze acknowledged that the experience helps him "heal." "I hope that someone out there can resonate with that and choose life," he said. "Someone will for sure," Smith said. This article was originally published on

Love Is Blind contestant admits he contemplated suicide after having 'dark thoughts'
Marshall Glaze of Love Is Blind fame is shedding light on his mental health struggles. The 29-year-old Netflix star appeared on Wednesday's episode of What's the Reality? podcast, where he talked about experiencing dark thoughts. 'Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life,' he heartbreakingly shared. Glaze said, 'It just got to a point where, like... I had always been morbidly curious but never thought about how to do it.' He recalled about the low point, 'One day, I'm just down in the dumps, just crazy depressed. I feel like nothing is going right — that's what my internal monologue is telling me. 'Those voices... that darkness just got a little bit louder, got a little bit darker and I felt, like, I was in this box and it just felt, like, walls were just getting closer and closer, and nothing could lift me out of that.' Marshall pointed to a specific interaction with his mom to highlight just how distraught he felt. He told host AD Smith, 'I talked to my mom. I was OK with that being the last time I talked to her. I was like, "OK, all right, you know, this is bad." I talk to my mom every day, multiple times throughout the day, and I was OK with that being the last time. So, I was going to do what I felt like I had to do — but I couldn't.' At the peak of his depression, Marshall left his apartment in Seattle to take a walk in the rain, and by the end of it decided, 'I want to live.' He said on the podcast, '[Sharing my story] helps me heal, and I hope that someone out there can resonate with that and choose life.' Glaze has gone through two public engagements and breakups in the last two years. In January 2024 he announced he was engaged to Chay Barnes, but they called quits on the relationship in September. Prior to that he met and fell in love with Jackie Bonds on Love Is Blind, leading to their engagement. But the couple broke it off in an April 2023 season four episode. Through his mental health journey, the Maryland native has found there's strength in speaking up about his feelings. 'It almost sounds silly, like, if I say what I was dealing with out loud. I'm like, "Bro, what? You good?" 'But, it's just that internal monologue that drives you deeper down that hole. That's why I feel it helps me [to] talk about it. Opening up about all things [like] suicide, depression helps me realize that, all right, maybe I was tripping up a little bit,' he explained. And he added that knowing he's 'not alone' is helpful.
