The season 4 Love Is Blind star was a guest on the Wednesday, June 4, edition of Amber Desiree "AD" Smith's podcast, What's the Reality?, during which he discussed his mental health journey over the past year.
"Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life. It just got to a point where I had always been morbidly curious, but never thought about how to do it," he said.
"And then, one day, I'm just down in the dumps, just crazy depressed. Nothing is going right for me in my life or I feel like nothing is going right, that's what my internal monologue is telling me," continued Glaze.
The star went on to note that "those voices, that darkness just got a little bit louder, got a little bit darker."
Glaze described feeling like he was "in this box," and "the walls were just getting closer and closer and closer."
"No favorite meal, no favorite movie, no favorite song, could lift me out of that," he said. "I knew I had a problem when, this particular time I talked to my mom, I was okay with that being the last time I talked to her."
Glaze said he knew what he was going through was "bad" because his mother was someone he talked to "multiple times throughout the day."
"I was going to do what I felt like I had to do, but I couldn't," he continued, adding that he then went for a walk that he "will never forget."
"Seattle is a very rainy city, and this was at peak rain season, and 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," said Glaze.
He recalled walking around in the rain while wearing a cut-off t-shirt, basketball shorts and a pair of slides.
"I walked around the Space Needle, came around back to my apartment, and I'm like, 'I want to live,' " he said.
Glaze said that sharing his story ultimately helps him "heal."
"I hope that someone out there can resonate with that and choose life," he concluded.
