Kid Cudi Checks Himself Into Rehab

Kid Cudi posted an emotional letter to his Facebook page today where he spoke in detail about his struggles with depression. The rapper let his fans know that he has checked himself into rehab to battle this disease.

"It's been difficult for me to find the words to what I'm about to share with you because I feel ashamed," the troubled artist wrote on Facebook. "Ashamed to be a leader and hero to so many while admitting I've been living a lie. It took me a while to get to this place of commitment, but it is something I have to do for myself, my family, my best friend/daughter and all of you, my fans."
 

Kid Cudi continued, “I am not at peace. I haven't been since you've known me. If I didn't come here, I would've done something to myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions everyday of my life. There's a ragin' violent storm inside of my heart at all times. Idk what peace feels like. Idk how to relax."

His fans have been more than understanding. Millions have shared his personal letter on their own Facebook pages and thousands more have publicly expressed their support. Many others who also suffer with depression have commended Cudi for seeking help and shared how his music helped them during their own struggles.
