Bunnie Xo and her husband have both committed to living healthier lifestyles in recent years.<\/p>\n

Jelly Roll has lost hundreds of pounds<\/a>, and Bunnie has joined him on the diet train.<\/p>\n

Like millions of other Americans who are looking to shed a few pounds, Bunnie experimented with GLP-1 medications \u2014 but it seems that she won\u2019t be going down that road again.<\/p>\n

In a new interview with People<\/a>, Bunnie explained that the controversial weight loss and diabetes drug made her deeply depressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was one of the darkest times of my life and it was scary,\u201d she told the magazine while promoting her upcoming memoir, Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, set for release on February 17. <\/p>\n

\u201cI prided myself on the fact that I only had anxiety. I never had depression. So when you get slammed with suicidal ideation and visions and just, oh, it was horrific,\u201d she continued, adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou want to have anxiety because you want to be scared to die. You don\u2019t want to have depression because you literally don\u2019t care if you want to die. So yeah, it was really dark.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little weird to pride yourself on not being depressed or to talk about chronic anxiety like it\u2019s a good thing, but we think we get what Xo was trying to say.<\/p>\n

Bunnie says things got so bad that she experienced suicidal ideation for the first time in her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I just went through a bout of suicidal ideation from using a GLP-1, which, I really think people need to talk more about this. I just told them, I said, \u2018I haven\u2019t had suicidal ideation like this since 2020.\u2019 That\u2019s how bad it was.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m good now,\u201d but admitted, \u201cDecember was a rough month, let me tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I could be part of the cool crowd and be skinny and freaking not have a care in the world,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want people to know you\u2019re not alone. Everybody goes through ups and downs and you are worth staying here. Please stay. Everybody, please stay because you\u2019re here for a reason and you\u2019re going through this, but do not make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion because it will go away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bunnie has spoken candidly about her troubled past <\/a>on numerous occasions, and her honesty is one of the things fans love best about her.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re sure they\u2019ll appreciate her openness about her troubles with Ozempic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reading Time: 3 minutes Bunnie Xo and her husband have both committed to living healthier lifestyles in recent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":485827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[64,63,137,514,515],"class_list":["post-485826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-health","tag-mental-health","tag-mentalhealth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
