Million Dollar Listing fans were shocked when Luis D. Ortiz decided to quit the show, left his real estate career behind and headed off on a mission to see the world. Luis has always radiated a positivity and happiness that was almost contagious. You couldn’t help smiling at his joy. If you’ve been following his Instagram account these past two years, you know he’s been adventuring around the world and sharing his wild ride with his followers. But this weekend the usually joyful Luis shared a serious moment of complete honesty about things not always being rainbows and sunshine in his life.
Luis took to Instagram to share a powerful statement of truth about his battle with depression and suicidal thoughts. He also shared an inspirational message of hope and help. He began, “I have been wanting to share this for some time now but have been very reluctant to do so for the very same reasons most of us choose to keep our truths in the dark. However, ever since Kate (Spade) and (Anthony) Bourdain committed suicide, I have been feeling the strong need and responsibility of sharing my truth with the hopes of a positive change.”
“For the past year I have been struggling with depression and during the last three months all I can think of – day and night – is putting an end to it all.”
