(CNN)Rapper Kid Cudi checked himself into rehab for depression and suicidal urges and posted a message on his Facebook page saying, "I am not at peace."
"I haven't been since you've known me. If I didn't come here, I wouldve done something to myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions everyday of my life. Theres a ragin violent storm inside of my heart at all times," the post said.
Cudi revealed on Facebook late Tuesday that he had gone to rehab on Monday, after grappling with anxiety and depression throughout his life.
He wrote that he didn't know what "peace feels like" or how to relax.
"My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it. I cant make new friends because of it. I dont trust anyone because of it and Im tired of being held back in my life. I deserve to have peace."
He apologized repeatedly throughout his post.
"Im scared, im sad, I feel like I let a lot of people down and again, Im sorry. Its time I fix me. Im nervous but ima get through this."
He signed the post with his birth name, Scott Mescudi.
Other artists express support
The rapper has openly shared his battles with depression before. Earlier this year, he told Billboard that he had used drugs to cope with his depression.
"I thought about how much of a struggle it has been the past eight years, to be in the news and pretend to be happy when, really, I was living a nightmare," he told Billboard in April.
"I have everything I ever dreamed of in terms of stability. But I hadn't been living that reality, because depression was f---ing me up."
Most adults with depression aren't treated, study finds
Cudi's frank admission about his mental health drew support from other artists.
Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz tweeted that Cudi's "speaking out and letting the world see your humanity is inspiring."

I don't think it's a stunt. His baby mama got a restraining order recently and turned over 145 text messages that he sent in a 48 hr period. That's some unstable ? . -

Nah but clinical depression is not a joke. It's a chemical imbalance caused by low serotonin.
I don't know much about Cudi except for that Day and Night song.
But his actions throughout the years that I've seen is clearly caused by some type of mental disturbance. I don't think it's a publicity stunt. -
