Tish Cyrus's candid revelations on her mental breakdown and divorce
Tish's recent appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast provided insight into the emotional toll of her divorce and personal struggles. She shared how the COVID-19 pandemic compounded her challenges, leaving her grappling with profound loneliness and grief following the loss of her mother, sharing, "My two biggest fears in life were being alone and my mom passing away. I was alone during that time, I had to go through it alone, and I literally can't believe I did that. It was so crazy.”
Tish recounted experiencing a severe mental breakdown, marked by overwhelming emotions and a sense of despair. “I had one month of a complete psychological breakdown. It was the worst thing, it was not good. I just kind of pushed the mom thing under the rug, and then the divorce thing came. I could not eat, I could not sleep, I could not stop crying. I don't have my mom, and then I don't have my husband that has been my husband for 30 years. Like I'm scared,” she remarked.
Despite her anguish, she found solace in reflection and self-care activities during the pandemic, eventually leading to her healing in the company of weeds. She added, “During that period, I took a really good, hard look at life, my life, and like, 'What was I gonna do?’ Because it had not been in a good place for a long time. And I think I did stay so long out of fear of being alone…Being alone, and all of a sudden just having kind of the weight of the world off my shoulders, and I was able to just breathe. And smoke pot and garden, and go skinny dipping in my pool. That's what I did during Covid. It was hugely transformative…I am a Christian and I love weed."
Tish's love journey though didn’t end as her new beginning included finding love once again. In November 2022, she confirmed her relationship with actor Dominic Purcell, known for his role in Prison Break. The couple announced their engagement in April 2023 and exchanged vows in August 2023, surrounded by loved ones in Malibu, California.
As she embarks on a new chapter of love and growth with Dominic Purcell, Tish’s openness while addressing her mental and emotional struggles is surely commendable.
