        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pete Davidson opened up about his &#8220;dark and scary&#8221; battle with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts.</p><p>&#8220;I got as close as you can get — just like testing the waters,&#8221; he <strong>said on &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning&#8221;</strong> of contemplating suicide, &#8220;Until I met the right treatments and met the right doctors and did all the work that you need to do to not feel that way, it got pretty dark and scary.&#8221;</p><p>In a scene from his forthcoming, semi-autobiographical movie, &#8220;The King of Staten Island,&#8221; Davidson drives with his eyes closed and nearly crashes.</p><p>&#8220;I used to do that,&#8221; Davidson, 26, said. &#8220;I used to close my eyes on a closed road usually at night and I would ride without a seatbelt.&#8221;</p><p>In December 2018, Davidson sparked panic on social media when he <strong>appeared to threaten suicide</strong>.</p><p>“I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore,” he wrote at the time. “I’m doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don’t know how much longer i can last. all I’ve ever tried to do was help people. just remember I told you so.”</p><p>He ultimately deleted his Instagram account and <strong>entered rehab</strong>.</p><p>The &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; star said writing and filming the Judd Apatow-directed movie was therapeutic for him.</p><p>&#8220;I really wanted this to be cleansing for me,&#8221; he said on the morning show. &#8220;I feel like I got to speak about it in the biggest way possible, and I could get my story out there, so I feel like now I could let it go.&#8221;</p><p>The comedian, <strong>who lives at home with his mom on Staten Island</strong>, said he had no immediate plans to move.</p><p>&#8220;Right now I really feel comfortable here,&#8221; he said.</p>]]></content:encoded>
