Colton Haynes opened up about his experiences with depression, and substance abuse, and why it's important for him to speak his truth
star wants his social media to give fans a more unfiltered look at his life — because, like the rest of us, it's not perfect."I no longer want to project a curated life," he wrote."I get immense joy when someone comes up to me & says that my willingness to open up about depression, anxiety, alcoholism, & addiction has helped them in some way." But until now, Haynes hasn't quite been able to find his place in the discussion.
"I've struggled the past year with trying to find my voice and where I fit in & that has been the most beautiful struggle I’ve ever had to go through," he wrote. But the actor made a major breakthrough in hisinterview earlier this year, when he spoke openly about how his use of drugs and alcohol spiraled following his coming out in 2016."I came out and, in a way, my downward spiral started," he told the mag.
In 2018, said he"fell apart" while dealing with the death of his mother and split from husband Jeff Leatham simultaneously."I got so heavily involved with drugs and alcohol to mask the amount of pain I was feeling that I couldn’t even make some decisions for myself. I was drowning in my own shit." Now, the actor would much rather use his platform to show people that they're not alone."Worrying about what time to post on social media so I can maximize my likes or being mad at myself that I don't look the same way I did when I was addicted to pills is a complete waste of why I was put on this earth," he wrote before revealing why he's chosen to open up now, a year later.
"I'm a human being with flaws just like you," he added."If ur in the middle of the dark times...I promise you it doesn't have to last forever."
