This isn’t the first time the comedian has acknowledged his battle with depression.
In 2007, he spoke about his darker days, but also emphasized the work he had done to break free.
“I learned how to believe in myself. Learned how to set goals, you know, self help books man. I just read every single one I can get a hold of and I still do. I read that stuff all the time still,” he said. “I am always coming out bigger, better, stronger and happier.”
During his recent interview, Carey shared with Wallace the valuable lessons he learned which help him in the battle against depression.
“Like, don’t take things personally. I took everything personally, if somebody wrote a bad review, I’d be like, what the hell? Coming after my money? You know, so yeah, that’s — all that’s gone.”

Dollar Tree Makes Shocking Announcement, That Leaves Customers Fuming
Inflation has hit the United States hard, with a shocking 4.2 percent rate in July, the highest in decades. This economic pressure has forced businesses, incIuding Dollar Tree, known for selling items at $1, to make significant adjustments.
Dollar Tree faced a decline in stock prices, dropping nearly seventeen percent in one trading session, as it grappled with rising shipping costs and the need to combat inflation. Dollar Tree’s decision to sell items for more than a dollar came after investors saw a hit of $1.50 to $1.60 per share of profits, a substantiaI blow for a retailer focused on the one-dollar price point.
The company cited the economic challenges posed by inflation and the pandemic as reasons for the pricing adjustments. CEO Michael Witynski acknowledged the shift in a prepared statement, stating, For decades, our customers have enjoyed the ‘thrill-of-the-hunt’ for vaIue at one dollar – and we remain committed to that core proposition – but many are telling us that they also want a broader product assortment when they come to shop.
Despite the drop in stock prices, Dollar Tree emphasized its commitment to providing value to customers. Witynski stated, We will continue to be fierceIy protective of that promise, regardless of the price point, whether it is $1.00, $1.25, $1.50.
The announcement sparked mixed reactions among customers, with concerns about the impact of the price change on the store’s appeal. While the stock prices have shown signs of recovery, the decision to sell items for more than a dollar raises questions about whether customers will continue to shop at Dollar Tree.
In a market where consumer goods are becoming more expensive due to increased shipping costs and inflation, retailers face the challenging task of balancing prices to remain competitive and meet customer expectations. Whether Dollar Tree can navigate these economic challenges whiIe retaining its customer base remains to be seen.
