  • Regina King Reveals Why Her Son K!lled Himself | She Needs Help!
    So, after about two years of low-key disappearing from the industry Regina King opened up about her only son Ian going through depression and unaliving himself. Honey, we are gonna need another word to describe the process she went through koz devastation doesn’t cut it.
    Okay, when fans were hit with the news of Ian’s death, it was not exactly clear what pushed him to unalive himself but he had said days before his death that social media, especially Instagram, was very unhealthy for his well-being.
    In one of his last tweets on January 15th he wrote, “I don’t think Instagram is healthy for me.” He also used a popular image from SpongeBob Squarepants where the cartoon character is surrounded by tiny clones cloaked in wild flames to illustrate exactly how he was feeling and said, “You know that episode of SpongeBob where they go inside his brain and it’s a bunch of mini sponge-bobs just losing their ish…..yea that one really hits home.”

    I’m a late 30s black male who is an only child to a mom who recently became a widow, and between the death of my dad and all the other cumulative life traumas (phew there’s been ALOT), last year was the first time I’ve felt suicidal to a major extent. Had been actively thinking it’d be better to not be here than to constantly deal with the pain day in and out. I’ve experienced severe depression and anxiety most of life. I can remember being depressed @ 9 years old. 25 years of it can take an immense toll on someone’s spirit, even though I’ve been in therapy for about 10 years. Thank you for highlighting mental health issues in black men. It can truly be horrid for us living in this world.
    UPDATE: WOW, was not expecting my comment to even be noticed let alone received with such warmth. Thank you, kind humans. I’m doing much better as of now. My stress levels were WAY too high trying to take on everything. Broke my body down and my mind. Been slow progress decentering my life from working sun up to sun down trying to “be” and “do” and “better my life” at the detriment of my mental health.. and I’m so appreciative of the progress nevertheless. It’s been about 8-9 months that I was last suicidal. Thank you especially to all the women here who have rallied & been so kind and supportive with their comments. Men don’t generally get a lot of emotional support from their community let alone random strangers for much of anything so this feels new & overwhelming & truly touches my heart. I pray that anyone who has felt anything similar can feel lighter with the support shown here, knowing it can be here for you too. Thank you.

    I lost my only child nearly 15 years ago & he was only 24. They say time heals all wounds, but the lost of a child is something you never get over. It leaves a whole in your heart that never closes. God restores our joy, but He understands our pain whenever the grief hits us. This is an exclusive club, I'd never ever want to ask anyone to be a part of.

      For a mother losing child child like a child losing their mother…you never heal. You just learn to live with it. That is the cruelest lie you can tell someone who has lost a child or mother. The fact that they’re literally a part of you forms a bond that can’t even be explained.

      I also lost my son at his age 27 to a reported suicide October 2021. I just don’t believe it. He was planning to leave his wife she was the last to leave and next day the first to find him hanging from rope in the basement. Even more trauma gut wretching is she had authority over his body. She would not let us see his body at the morgue. So I never got to see my son’s ashes nor to bury him with his ancestors. She promised she 😅would have a release of his ashes to the ocean. She did a go fund me to raise the money. People donated some most didn’t and she did not have a release of his ashes. She did have a small funeral not allowing all people to visit. People today are still grieving. Then more of this nightmare that’s actually I have experienced she posted a pick of her self how to get away with murder. My son went by Jayy Wills/Jayy Alejandro as for his videography biz and then his artist name. I’m not saying she did it all thought she seem suspicious. I won’t believe he did this to himself. I go through the stages of grief and I started counseling. But why can’t she give his ashes back. I feel like this violated my son’s spirit and ashes should be in a proper place. 😢

It's been almost four years and my heart breaks everyday with the pain of losing my child. The sadness is a hole that can never be filled. Someone told me that grief is the pain we feel for having loved someone. I now know that love really does heart. I will continue to pray for her and I am happy to see her doing the things that would make her son so proud. Be blessed.

    I think many of us have experienced deep depression and suicidal thoughts. I know I have. For men, especially Black men, I feel it’s a very different experience. He said he was tired of talking. I wish there were more spaces where they could talk and from a young age. Maybe that would be helpful. When you’re in your head, you have to decide if the fight is worth it for you. For me the answer was to truly believe in who Jesus says I am and I dove in to that. But there are some who choose to no longer fight…and that is their choice. We have to give them the grace to make the choice for themselves. They live in their body and mind. God gives us all the power to choose, we don’t have the right to not extend them grace to choose. I was a 911 operator and I didn’t get this until my experience in that job.

      There are so many spaces to talk these days. Been at it nearly 15 years and therapy groups, meditation groups etc used to be almost all women. 2023 I had one 50/50. Men just have to know it's okay to ask for help. For anyone in the midst of their illness cannot see that sometimes. We need support, ally. I had no friends or family so I relied on the medical professionals, still do.

Yes, he was her baby, i get that, i have two grown sons, but ladies, our babies grow into young adults, young men......and even as loving mothers who want the best for them, we cannot do things that will possibly or ultimately hender their growth & learning process, as a young man in society!

      Yes, I said something similar to this, but didn’t specify as much as you tactfully did. He was in the shadows of her everything, every life event, almost like her emotional crutch of sorts. All her losses were his losses. Then he had his own life and losses. It got complicated with the multiple abandonments they had experienced together. I hate that this happened to him and to her, especially being he was her ONLY child.

      You made a very good point. It’s good that we’re openly talking about importance of mental health, but we’re not focusing on asking the RIGHT questions as to WHY that person feels depressed or WHY they got to the point in life where they felt like ending their life was the best solution to their problem. The reasons will be different for every person. Not everyone who commits suicide is suffering from mental illness. Not feeling like you have a purpose in life, or not being able to tolerate boredom in life is a common reason a lot of people feel suicidal. These are reasons that get so overlooked.
