Katie Price has heartbreakingly admitted she tried to take her own life four years ago, revealing ‘I just didn’t want to be here anymore’ before being admitted to The Priory
Katie Price has bravely opened up about her heartbreaking suicide attempt four years ago after admitting: “I just didn’t want to be here anymore.” The former glamour model spoke candidly about the ‘lowest point in her life’ as a guest on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast.
Katie, 46, who has five children, admitted she was “self-medicating on coke” to “numb things” before she made the devastating decision to take her own life. With tears in her eyes, she said: “I tried to commit suicide and then I woke up. My phone was down the toilet. I had a black eye, Just didn’t want to be here anymore.”

Admitting she would lie to her family about how she was really feeling, she said: “‘Kate are you alright?’ [her family would ask] and I’d be like ‘yeah yeah I’m fine, I’m fine’ and then I’m in bed depressed, didn’t want to get up, didn’t want to have a shower, not me.
“When really when I did get up to go to work, people would be like ‘are you alright?’ and it was like inside I wanted to cry and go ‘no, I’m not’ but I had to put on the face.”
After her suicide attempt, Katie was admitted to The Priory as a general patient where she stayed for five weeks, explaining: “I thought oh my god, I’ve got to do something, this isn’t me.”
Saying her experience in The Priory has made her more understanding of the seriousness of mental health, she explained: “That’s why I don’t judge anyone or when they talk about mental health, because I think it is an actual, real, serious thing.
“You have got to want to do it yourself, by taking accountability of the situation I was in and owning up to how I felt.”
Concluding that she was now “in control” of her life after being ‘dictated to’ and ‘controlled’, she admitted to ‘hurting’ her family, but was now “better”, saying: “You’ve got to take accountability to people you’ve hurt, you know, your family, yes, you’ve got to own it and realise by getting through it, what doors have opened. It’s like the sunshine.
“Look what opportunities you’ve got now. Why? Because your head’s better. I’m not being dictated. I control what I do. No one’s controlling me. I know where I’m at. I’ve just been in control and communicating.”
Thankfully, Katie is now at least free of her financial burdens after admitting the last six years of her life have been “hell”.
The OnlyFans star was declared bankrupt for the second time last year, owing a whopping £750,000, which forced her to downgrade her home and leave the Mucky Mansion.
However, Katie recently revealed that she has cleared her debts as she opened up about ‘learning her lesson’ on a recent episode of The Katie Price Show.
Speaking to her sister, Sophie, she declared, proudly: “I’m not bankrupt anymore! I’m out of it, I’m out of both of them.
“The last six years have been hell – mentally and personally – everything has been hell. I’ve worked so hard to communicate and get rid of what caused all the trouble and I’m out of it.
“It’s such a nice feeling not to be bankrupt anymore. I’m in control of everything now.”
