Known for years as the surly Brit who delivered raw and often deflating critiques on television, Simon Cowell<\/a> is getting candid and vulnerable in evaluating himself.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve suffered from depression over the years, I think we all have \u2026 But that was just something I just thought, \u2018Well, that\u2019s my character trait. You know, I get down,\u2019 And it\u2019s something you know, you deal with,” the “Amercia’s Got Talent<\/a>” creator shared of how he previously viewed his mental health. Now, Cowell says, he wants to discuss his journey “openly.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Mainly because it’s not something I feel embarrassed to talk about.”<\/p>\n

SIMON COWELL WAS ‘UNFIT’ BEFORE DEVASTATING BIKE ACCIDENT BROKE HIS BACK: ‘HAPPENED FOR A REASON’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“If you\u2019d said to me, \u2018Simon, we\u2019re going to be sitting down \u2026 in your garden, talking about mental health,\u2019 I\u2019d be going, \u2018Have I lost my mind or something?'” Cowell revealed on the first episode of The Mirror’s “Men In Mind” podcast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said his life changed a few years ago when COVID seemingly took over the whole world, impacting not only Cowell’s work, but also his mindset.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I suppose COVID was the real catalyst \u2026 The whole world was affected by something. We all were afraid of \u2013 I mean, genuinely afraid of. I was petrified about it, by the way \u2026 I think it was during that time period that I started to think about things in a different way,” he revealed.<\/p>\n

“In the very, very, very early stages, some friends of mine got really ill. And I\u2019m talking about really ill,” he said, which only exasperated his fears of the virus. “So, I thought, \u2018God, if I catch this, maybe the same thing\u2019s going to happen to me.'”<\/p>\n

He also worried that his partner Lauren Silverman<\/a> or their son Eric could potentially get sick.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With all the uncertainty, Cowell remembered also questioning what he wanted to do about going back to work, recalling his decision to not resume “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, as the world began to open back up and “things started to calm down a bit,” Cowell said he realized “it was almost like \u2018Now I\u2019ve got to go from there back into the real world.\u2019”<\/p>\n

“So, I started to read up about stuff, teach myself. Then fortunately \u2026 met some friends who had therapy, benefited from therapy. And that\u2019s when I thought, \u2018You know what? I\u2019ve kind of looked after my body through diet<\/a> and exercise \u2026 pretty well over the years, but what have I done about my brain and my mind?\u2019”<\/p>\n

“And the answer is nothing,” he admitted. “And now\u2019s the time to do it. So, it was almost like my head going to the gym,” he said of his decision to see a therapist.<\/p>\n

“I made the appointment and I sat down, really embarrassed, and I said, \u2018Look, I just don\u2019t know where to start,'” he recalled of the experience. “Within about 20 minutes it was as if I\u2019d known him for 10, 20 years. He put me so much at ease. And you realize you\u2019re talking to a professional, you know. And they don\u2019t judge you, they listen to you.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re not all made of steel and there\u2019s going to be times in our lives where you just need somebody to talk to,” Cowell shared candidly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
