Train Wrecks
Owens: I Never Tried to Kill Myself

Terrell Owens says he did not attempt suicide and any notion he swallowed 35 pain pills is absurd.

Owens was taken to a hospital Tuesday night after his publicist, Kim Etheredge, called 911 and reported what she believed to be a suicide attempt. Etheredge, who also spoke at the news conference, says the police were wrong when they said she told them Owens was depressed.

Etheredge says she became alarmed when Owens seemed unresponsive, but insists it was not a suicide attempt.

Owens says he's ok now and wants to suit up and play in Sunday's game. Owens denies that he was feeling depressed and also thanked his friends and fans for their support.

48. I read T.O.'s first book & his upbringing was very strange. Paranoia runs in his family. His mood swings - high (manic) & now low (depressed), with many other symptons indicate that he might have BIPOLAR DISORDER
(MANIC-DEPRESSION) - Agitation, Alcohol or drug abuse, Irritability, Violence, Poor judgment with decisions, Talking about hurting oneself, Impulsive financial investments, More arguments, Change in energy level, appetite, or sleep pattern, Relationship problems at work &/or home, Legal/criminal issues, More self-confident than usual, Feeling restless, Thoughts of death or suicide, among other symptons. I'm not a doctor. But this man needs psychological help, before he self-destructs. I hope the Cowboys gets him the help he needs. He is a good football player. I'm not a fan of his, but he sure needs mental health HELP!!!

49. If taking 25 pain pills isn't a suicide attempt, it's a cry for help in the least. Or maybe as it has already been said and T.O. is just a drama queen.
