Charlie Sheen Tells Life & Style: 'I'm Losing My Mind'

By Sarah Crow Posted Mar 9th 2011 06:00AM

After starting what will go down in Hollywood history as the most highly publicized meltdown of all time, Charlie Sheen is finally admitting to his problems and reaching out for help.

In the latest issue of Life & Style, the actor admits that his life has taken a sharp decline in recent months and that, despite adamant declarations that he's "winning," his life has fallen off course.

"I'm really starting to lose my mind," says Sheen. "I'm ready to call anyone to help."

Sheen, who recently lost his job on 'Two and a Half Men,' in addition to custody of his twin sons, Bob and Max, to estranged wife Brooke Mueller, now realizes that his lifestyle of excess has become unmanageable.

"I"m really trying to contain myself right now," says Sheen. "My lawyer wants to come over to my house and take the bullets out of my gun."

Friends are increasingly concerned about the actor's well-being, particularly since his children were removed from his home.

"It's crazy over here at the house," says a friend who was with Sheen when he learned he had been fired from his CBS show. "Charlie's losing it. He's really mad about the show, and dealing with the kids and Brooke is getting to be too much. Charlie is a ticking time bomb, and we all fear he could do something drastic like committing suicide or falling back on hard drugs."

The actor says his main priority is regaining custody of his sons, telling Life & Style, "I'll do anything to get them back. Now I don't give a f**k about the show or about anything [else]."

A source close to Sheen says that time is of the essence when it comes to getting Charlie's life back on track. "Anything could happen at any minute," says the source. "He's a danger to himself -- a really big danger."

Sorry Charlie, its not "LOSING" its LOST. Like most of the people
in Hollywood, YOU let your money go to your head. No body or
nothing is cast in stone. You bettcha, you are replacable just like a burned our light bulb.

By Larry W. Bruce

If Sheen really said " I'm losing my mind" it's because he's been cut off at the pockets. The money has stopped.

By JW

MK Mind Control / Monarch Project. He's a 911 Truther. Time to shut him up! Now he's "crazy" so no one will believe what he says anymore, i.e. Michael Jackson, poor Brit Spears....the list goes on. These people mean business. Be afraid.

Been where your at, Charlie, please reach out now for the help. Recovery is possible, and you will survive this. Take care man.

it's time charlie's dad follow's through with what he said. if you say something you follow through on your word MARTIN get him help !!.

I hope its true that he realizes he needs help. I too, never know what to believe in magazines and take everything with a grain of salt. If the two bimbos he lives with really cared about him, they would convince him he needs help and help him get it. I guess they may be afraid they will lose their meal ticket, so they probably won't say anything. If they have and it didn't help, they should join forces and leave. Then he will realize that he is sick and no one is going to tolerate his behavior.

Charlie, NOW is the time to call for help. Why we must hit Rock-Bottom before we can pick ourselves up again is a mystery. Sierra Tucson has a very high success rate. Check in for a couple of months.......no excuses.
YOU CAN DO THIS !

He's a troll, drunk or sober.

By pacrowderholyoke

losing his mind? Hmmmm what was his first clue?

By susanb

I'm really happy the he admitted that he is losing his mind. I how he really believes it and does something about it. I don't believe he's losing his mind, but just losing control because of his lifestyle. Hope his firing wakes him up. Perhaps that is why they fired him, so he would wake up and realiz what it was doing to him. I believe he thought he is so cute no one would dare fire him. Perhaps reality is beginning to enter the picture. I really do hope so. Another very handsome addict just died due to drugs.

this is in response to JD

jd i am bi-polar...and there are different types of bi-polar disorder...i am of the type that is called "ultra-rapid cycling"...without my meds i can be very depressed and unable to do much of anything...5 minuntes later i can be ready to go out and shop shop shop...then spend the next 2 weeks in bed crying and not eating...

so who knows what type of bi-polar disorder charlie may or may not have...we've seen the manic side...but i doubt we've seen the depressive side
