In the tell-all pages posted on People, the Red Table Talk alum opened up about mental health and her ongoing battle with severe depression.
Jada confessed to suffering from complex trauma with PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) and dissociation, in which she felt disconnected from herself and the rest of the world.
The Gotham actress wrote: “For two decades, I had been putting on a good face, going with the flow, telling everyone I was okay.
“Yet underneath, bouts of depression and overwhelming hopelessness had smoldered until they turned into raging hellfire in my broken heart.”
The Worthy author continued: “Unwelcome feelings — of not deserving love — made it harder to understand the disconnect between the so-called perfect life I had achieved and the well of loss I carried with me.”
She concluded: “Therapy helped up to a point. It got me to forty! But to what end?”
Worthy will be released in bookstores on Tuesday, October 17.
Jada and her husband, Will Smith, 55, share their two children: Jaden, 25, and Willow, 22, alongside Will’s son Trey, 30, from a previous relationship.
The revealing pages came as fans became concerned with the graphic images their kids posted online.
FAMILY STRUGGLES
On Saturday, September 23, Jaden showed off his outfit in a deleted Instagram post and gave fans a peek at his diamond rings and the grill on his teeth.
In the following photo, Jaden was sitting at a table when a pair of paramedics entered the room with medical bags strapped to their backs.
The After Earth actor captioned the photo: “Super Duper Ski.”
A concerned fan wrote: “This kid doesn’t look good TO ME anymore.”
On Monday, September 25, Willow sparked concern with an image hinting at her somber mood.
In the image, a huge warrior stood dwarfing a much smaller man.
The gigantic warrior was labeled: “Inner demons,” while the man facing back was titled: “Willow.”
There was also a message that read: “You either quit or keep going, they both hurt.”
‘EMRACE IT ALL’
On Tuesday, September 26, Jada responded with an emotional post and uploaded a family photo with her husband and the children.
She wrote: “On this Divine assignment we’ve chosen to walk together, I am grateful for the wells of laughter along the trails of tears we’ve shared.
“Thank you for helping me learn to embrace it all…with a smile. Here’s to 100+ more birthdays full of growth, acceptance, and joy.”
