Former Destiny Child singer Michelle Williams has opened up on her life before she checked into a mental health facility.

She revealed that before she checked herself into the hospital, she broke up with fiance Chad Johnson and ‘questioned life’.

The 38-year-old said, during an interview with People that, “I thought I was over depression. I thought, ‘I’m good! I’ve got love, I’m working out.

“But I was so angry. The rage built up in me. I did not attempt suicide, but I was questioning [life].”

Michelle has been suffering from depression since she was 13 and said that she would have understood if her 41-year-old beau had left.

“He’s been praying for a wife. He didn’t pray for a depressed wife. People fall off the fitness wagon, people fall of the wellness wagon, but I can’t fall off the [therapy] wagon. I have to get healed to live this happy life.”

Chad Johnson, who got engaged to Michelle Williams on the 21st of March after meeting a year earlier during one of his Arizona spiritual retreats, said she uttered some hurtful words during her worst moment.

The Elevate International founder said of his bride-to-be: “Some of the things said and done were very hurtful. But I was like, ‘I don’t even want to talk about what happened. Get well and we can work on us later.'”

Michelle continued to undergo individual therapy and premarital counseling and most of it was filmed for their Oprah Winfrey Network reality show – Chad Loves Michelle – which premieres the third of November.

Michelle, who’s also producing the show said: “It’s not just about marrying Chad. I finally found someone to do life with.”
