   (CNN)After a nearly three-year break from social media, actress   
   Constance Wu returned to her online platforms on Thursday to   
   share that she attempted suicide in 2019 after a series of   
   poorly received tweets.   
      
   The "Hustlers" and "Crazy Rich Asians" actress, whose memoir   
   will be released this fall, wrote that while she was "afraid of   
   coming back on social media because [she] almost lost [her] life   
   from it," she wanted to share her story to start a wider   
   conversation with Asian Americans about mental health.   
      
   After her ABC sitcom "Fresh Off the Boat" was renewed for a   
   sixth season in May 2019, Wu appeared distraught by the news,   
   tweeting, "So upset right now that I'm literally crying. Ugh,"   
   followed by expletives. She later said that she sent the tweets   
   "on the heels of rough day & were ill timed (with) the news of   
   the show."   
      
   But the backlash was swift and severe, Wu said in her new   
   statement on Twitter. Countless users, including some fellow   
   actors, criticized her for seeming ungrateful about the success   
   of her series, which was one of very few sitcoms with an all-   
   Asian cast in central roles. When a fellow Asian actress   
   messaged her and said she had "become a blight on the Asian   
   American community," Wu said she felt like she "didn't deserve   
   to live anymore."   
      
   She survived her suicide attempt and paused her acting career to   
   focus on her mental health over the last few years, she said.   
   But she's returning to social media now, she explained, "to   
   share (her) story so that it might help someone with theirs.
