James Middleton Opens Up About Family’s Fear Amid His Battle with Depression

In a heartfelt revelation, James Middleton, brother of Kate Middleton, has shared the emotional turmoil his family experienced during his struggle with depression.

In his latest book, “Met Ella!

The Dog That Saved My Life,” James recounts a particularly harrowing moment when his sister Pippa left a tearful voicemail, fearing he might have gone to end his life.

The book details James's journey to the Lake District, accompanied by his beloved dog, Ella.

It was during this trip that he confronted his mental health issues head-on.

As he traveled south, he became acutely aware of the growing concern from his family back home.

The messages began to flood in, each one more anxious than the last.

“Where are you, James?

We're anxious to get hold of you,” they pleaded, their worry palpable.

Reflecting on that time, James expressed regret for not recognizing the depth of fear he instilled in his loved ones.

“My family thought I had gone to die.

I realize that now,” he admitted, acknowledging the weight of their concern.

It's a painful realization, one that weighs heavily on his heart as he navigates his own feelings of anger and frustration.

He described feeling controlled and irrational, despite being an adult capable of making his own choices.

“This has been the hardest journey of my life,” he wrote.

Contrary to what his family feared, James clarified that he wasn't seeking to end his life; rather, he was on a quest to rediscover his purpose and find reasons to live.

As he continued his trek, the emotional toll of the situation became clearer.

He shared that he received a voicemail from Pippa that left him shaken.

“James, we're all so worried about you.

Where on earth are you?” she implored, her voice tinged with tears and concern.

The juxtaposition between his journey and his family's fears highlights the often unseen struggles many face.
