As the year comes to a close, Zachary Levi took a moment to reflect on his past battle with depression.

The Shazam star posted a long and moving message on his Instagram account, chronicling that difficult time in his life and thanking those that helped him get better. “Two years ago today I was moving to Toronto, for the 4th time 3 years, to begin working on @shazammovie, one of the single greatest gifts I’ve ever been handed. Ironically, just 4 months prior, I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to live anymore,” he wrote. Levi even confessed that he was not sure if he wanted to live anymore.

Levi credited therapy and his role in Shazam in helping him get past that difficult time in his life. He also thanked the studios and Jim Lee for helping him get the role and for believing in him. Levi attached an original drawing of his character by Lee on the post.
