• Jordan Cashmyer of '16 & Pregnant' Admits to Attempting Suicide After Having Daughter

    Jordan Cashmyer was featured in an episode of MTV's "16 & Pregnant" that aired last June that left viewers a bit stunned. At the time she was pregnant with her daughter Genevieve and homeless in Maryland. Since having her baby last March, Cashmyer did finally secure a roof over her head, but other things fell apart. First she confirmed that she had started working in a Baltimore strip club, and now she admits her temporary silence on social media was due to a suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization. Rather than letting rumors spin out of control, Cashmyer addressed the situation herself, writing on Facebook: "I have been struggling with a lot of different things emotionally since I had Genevieve. I was diagnosed with post partum depression and was on medication for a little while for it, but I never followed up with my appointment... My mood wouldn't stay stable for very long, I was extremely impulsive, couldn't focus, the smallest things would set me off, and my anxiety got worse, as did my depression and OCD."
