FOB’s Pete Wentz Talks Depression
In the “Emo” music scene, the more real singers get with emotion, the deeper they connect with their teenage fanbase. And Fall Out Boy bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz confessed that his battle with Depression has affected his life considerably.
The boyfriend of Ashlee Simpson came clean about his bipolar disorder recently. He told press, “I have manic depression. I obsess over everything. When I am depressed, I can’t get out of bed. But right now, it’s sunny and 65 in my head, so it’s OK!”
It’s been a long 10 years for the 28-year-old musician, who was diagnosed with the disorder just after his 18th birthday. Wentz says he’s been medicated ever since.
“I am on anti-anxiety medicine. The technical term is Lorazepam. I am supposed to be on antidepressants but I think it’s part of my neuroses that I don’t take them.”
With a celebrity ally like Pete, the bipolar kids around the world have someone that they can look to for inspiration when times get tough.
