Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about having suicidal moments in the wake of the recent suicides of Kate Spade and

Anthony Bourdain.

On a Instagram post Jada says:

"With the suicides of Kate and Anthony it brought up feelings of when I was in such despair and had considered the same demise…often," she wrote. "In the years I spent towards my healing, many moons ago, I realized the mind and heart can be extremely delicate without the foundation of a formidable spirit. What I eat, what I watch on TV, what music I listen to, how I care for my body, my spiritual practice, what people I surround myself with, the amount of stress I allow and so on… either contribute to or deteriorate my mental health. Mental health is a daily practice for me. It's a practice of deep self-love."
