Jordan Cashmyer, star of Season 5's "16 & Pregnant" announced on her Facebook page that she was finally released from the hospital after she tried to commit suicide. The 18-year-old MTV star revealed that she had been struggling a lot since giving birth to her daughter, Genevieve Taylor, in March.
Things reached a breaking point for the teen mom around the end of October/beginning of November.
"I am happy to tell you that I am home from the hospital," Cashmyer wrote. "I have been struggling with a lot of different things, emotionally, since I had Genevieve. I was diagnosed with post-partum depression and was on medication for a little while but I never followed up with my appointments. After that things started to get out of control. My mood wouldn't stay stable for very long, I was extremely impulsive, couldn't focus... my anxiety got worse, as did my depression and OCD. It got to the point where I didn't know what to do or how to handle it because I had lost everything that was important to me."
"I felt that there wasn't much of a reason to live anymore. After trying to overdose, I was taken to a hospital and have been in there since then," she continued.
Cashmyer said she is now back on medication "and feeling great."
According to Hollywood Life, Cashmyer was homeless during her time on "16 & Pregnant" and shortly after she gave birth to her daughter, she split from boyfriend Derek Taylor. Back in August, blog The Ashley reported that Cashmyer had started working at a strip club in Maryland in order to make ends meet.
Not long after she started the job, the site claims Cashmyer got into a fight with a coworker which triggered her downward spiral. Reportedly, producers of the reality show had been trying to get in touch with Cashmyer for the Season 5 "Where Are They Now?" special but have not been able to reach her.
