Behind his beaming Instagram smiles and charismatic demeanor, Harry Jowsey has battled some serious inner demons. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, the reality star admitted that his seemingly perfect life on social media is a stark contrast to his life before fame. “I used to cut the top of my arm instead of the underneath. There is a scar there,” he told the publication, adding that he told his parents the scars were due to accident injuries as a cover story.
The “Too Hot to Handle” star admitted that negative thoughts plagued him throughout his adulthood, sometimes due to toxic relationships. “There was more recently as well where I had a really dark time and I couldn’t figure out how to get through it,” he explained. While Jowsey admitted that he still experiences obstacles with his mental health, he’s used therapy as a coping tool. “It comes in waves, but there’s never been a moment where I’ve been like, I’m going to end it all now. There has always been light,” he exclaimed.

Staying single may be the key to Jowsey’s ups and downs with mental health. He admitted as much after his breakup with Georgia Hassarati, which was the trigger for him to start seeing a therapist. “I think that I just need to focus on myself a little bit because this last breakups [sic] have possibly been the hardest thing I’ve ever been through,” he told E! News, adding that he plans to stay single until he turns 28.
