Sharon Osbourne revealed that she attempted to take her own life three times.
"The Osbournes" matriarch made the confession on "The Talk" on Wednesday, telling her panel, “I was joking about this but I shouldn’t, talking about my depression, and it’s like, you know saying, ‘Oh, the first time I tried to kill myself was OK, the second — all right, the third time, oy!'”
“But it’s like, I’m still here. I still do what I do and you struggle.”

Osbourne, 66, admitted that her ongoing struggle with depression hasn't been easy, but that medication has helped her tremendously.
Still, she says, “I wish everybody could think flowers and daisies and princesses, but you can’t."

In 2015, she took a month-long break from "The Talk," revealing a year later on the show that she'd had a "complete and utter breakdown."
“I woke up in Cedars-Sinai Hospital and for probably three days, I knew nothing. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t talk, I could do nothing. My brain just shut down on me," she said. "It took me days before I could even speak. I didn’t want to speak, I didn’t want to eat, I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I couldn’t keep thoughts in my head. My head was like a whirlpool, going round and round and round, and not one thought would stay in it. I was just like, a thing.”
