Lamar Odom is currently in rehab, which he decided he needed on his own after feeling like he was heading in the wrong direction. He reportedly was having a tough time dealing with issues from his infant son’s death, which occurred back in 2006 when six month old Jayden, passed away from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). While he focuses on getting himself stronger again, “The Doctors” released a snippet of an interview they did with Lamar a few weeks ago, where he opened up about his drug use and being scared to death after he realized he couldn’t talk when he woke from his coma.

“I wasn’t in a good place mentally, especially mentally before that incident happened,” Odom said. “Me and my wife at the time [Khloé Kardashian] were going through some things. I was in a dark place. They say everything happens for a reason, so I guess the reason is I’m here. I can tell the story.”

When Odom woke up from his coma, he had no clue what had happened or even why he was in the hospital he told Dr. Travis Stork. That’s when he said Khloe told him that he was in a coma and he got very scared.

“I couldn’t even speak at the time. I couldn’t talk. Nothing would come out when I would open my mouth, so I was scared.”

The snippet is only a few minutes long but it still gives us an insight into how Odom was feeling. Dr. Stork said the full length interview will air when Odom completes his current rehab stay so he can be on the show in person.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we are just happy to see Odom doing better and trying to take care of himself and we hope it lasts a very long time.
