"I'll be working out and like getting after it, feeling good, listening to the Stones or whatever. I see something like that and you just take a mental note of like, that could probably hold my weight, you know. These thoughts just kind of come."
Marcus King revealed that despite being on SSRIs for depression, he still experiences intrusive suicidal thoughts, including recently noticing where a punching bag used to hang and thinking it could hold his weight for hanging. He emphasized these thoughts come and go quickly and existed before medication as well. King is now questioning whether the medication is actually helping enough to justify staying on it, especially given the emotional numbness it causes.
