Cyndi Lauper: ‘I Wanted To Kill Myself’

Cyndi Lauper has recently talked out about her depression and said that after a career break in the late eighties she even considered killing herself.
Lauper talked about her rise from poverty and a violent upbringing to become a pop singer. Sge fell into a deep depression after her fame went down when she was living in a hotel room in New York City.
She said:
“I had come so far but felt like I had failed. I disappointed the record company because I didn’t come home with an armful of awards like they expected. It was always like that; it was never enough. It was such a dark time for me. When I was living in that hotel I was two steps off of that balcony.
“I would go to the studio and then sit in my dark room and drink vodka. I had to spend most of my time alone. I was grieving. I thought the sadness would never go away. The only thing that always prevented me from suicide is that I never wanted a headline to read, ‘Girl who wanted to have fun just didn’t’.”
Cyndi left home at 17 after her dad abused her and her sister.
Man With 100 Pound Scrotum Turns Down Free Surgery
The Dr. Oz Show offered to pay for the surgery, as long as they got exclusive interview rights.
Wesley Warren Jr. declined that opportunity.
Some people think it’s because he didn’t want the eyes of the public on him, but his reasons are much more blunt:
“Who would want to live like this? I just don’t want to die during the operation.”
The condition is caused by an excess of watery fluid collecting around his testicles.
What’s strange is that he was even fundraising for the surgery, but now he’s turning down the free one — regardless if it prevents him from holding down a job and makes it difficult for him to urinate properly.
