Christina Applegate is in a dark place after being diagnosed withย multiple sclerosis.
The โDead to Meโ actress, 52, said that sheโs โin a depression right nowโ on the June 4 episode of her โMeSsyโ podcast with โThe Sopranosโ alum Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also has MS.
โLike a real, f โ โ k-it-allย depression where itโs kind of scaring me too a little bit, because it feels really fatalistic,โ Applegate continued. โIโm trapped in this darkness right now that I havenโt felt like โฆ I donโt even know how long, probably 20-something years.โ
Applegate candidly admitted that she has a negative outlook on her life because of her health struggles.
โThis is being really honest โฆ I donโt enjoy living,โ she said. โI donโt enjoy it. I donโt enjoy things anymore.โ
The new podcast episode was actually recorded earlier this year after Applegate โ who announcedย her MS diagnosisย in 2021 โย made a surprise appearance at the Emmy Awards in January, where she got a standing ovation from the audience.
Applegate said that was โthe hardest day of my life,โ adding that she slept for the next two days after the award show.
After Sigler, 43, told her co-host that MS โis not a reason enough for you to stop living,โ Applegate explained that sheโs โavoidedโ going to therapy since her diagnosis because sheโs โso afraid to start crying.โ
โI just am so, Iโm so afraid for those floodgates to open and that I wonโt be able to stop.โ
Applegate wasย filming the third and final seasonย of her Netflix comedy โDead to Meโ when she was diagnosed with MS.
She stepped away from the public eye to focus on her health, but made an exception at the Emmys earlier this year when she walked onstage with a cane to present theย awardย for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series toย Ayo Edebiriย for โThe Bear.โ
Two months later, Applegate told โGood Morning Americaโ hostย Robin Roberts that she โblacked outโ during her Emmys appearance.
โPeople said, โOh, you were so funny,โ and Iโm like, โI donโt even know what I said. I donโt know what I was doing,โ โ Applegate explained. โI got so freaked out that I didnโt even know what was happening anymore.โ
Applegate has been using her new podcast to share updates on her ongoing battle with MS.
She said in April that she hadnโt showered in three weeks because of the pain from the disease.
โThank God Iโm always alone so that no one smells me,โ the actress said. โ[Sadieโs] always like, โOh Mama, thatโs bad.โ I make her smell my armpits, just to make her vomit.โ
She also told fans that sheโs experiencing โintense painโ and has โno energyโ anymore, and the only thing she can do is โlay in a dark room, watching TV and wanting it all to go away.โ
Applegate, who rose to fame as a child star on the sitcom โMarriedโฆ With Children,โ hinted at quitting acting because of her MS diagnosis.
โRight now, I couldnโt imagine getting up at 5 a.m. and spending 12 to 14 hours on a set; I donโt have that in me at this moment,โ she told the LA Times in 2023.
