It hurt to even hold a pencil, and I was ashamed of how my hands looked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After leaving university, Carey enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve in 1980 and served for six years as a field radio operator in the 25th Marine Regiment in Ohio. He adopted his crew cut hairstyle while serving in the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/02\/06124852\/drewcareymilitary.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164030\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Drew_Carey#\/media\/File:Drew_Carey-Marines.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He later opened up about his suicide attempts, explaining that he first tried at 18 and again in his twenties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know what I was doing,\u201d Carey admitted. \u201cThe first time, I drank a couple of beers and took a whole bottle of Sominex, thinking it would work. My fraternity brothers rushed me to the medical center, and as I was throwing up, my friend Paul started singing the Sominex jingle: \u2018Take Sominex tonight and sleep\u2026 sleep\u2026 sleep.\u2019 I laughed so hard in that moment. Humor has always been my way out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, Drew Carey turned things around. He began to rediscover himself, with the help of books and therapy. He learned to cope with his depression in a healthier way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI started reading books by Wayne Dyer, and one of them really hit me: Why am I walking around feeling guilty about everything? I realized I had been apologizing for existing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-tragedy-in-2020\">The tragedy in 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2007, Drew Carey has been the host of the iconic game show&nbsp;<em>The Price Is Right<\/em>. He also made the decision to lose weight, and for a while, it seemed like his life was on the right track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in 2020, disaster struck with full force. That year, the heartbreaking news broke that Drew Carey\u2019s former fianc\u00e9e, Dr. Amie Harwick, had been tragically murdered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 2018, Drew and Amie were more in love than ever, and the couple excitedly announced their engagement, revealing they\u2019d been together for six unforgettable months before deciding to take the next step and marry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, Amie Harwick worked as a licensed marriage and family therapist, as well as an accomplished author, having written self-help books such as&nbsp;<em>The New Sex Bible for Women<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite their breakup, there was no denying the strong affection they still had for each other. In fact, Drew got emotional when he spoke about their time together on his Sirius XM show \u201dDrew Carey\u2019s Friday Night Freak-Out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During one broadcast, Carey recalled that in September 2018, he had been in the \u201dbest relationship\u201d of his life with Amie. He admitted that even after their breakup, they still loved one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/02\/06125115\/GettyImages-894560424-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164032\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Drew Carey and Amie Harwick (Michael Bezjian\/WireImage)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Drew described Amie as fun, beautiful, and someone who truly cared about others, and it brought him joy to witness her improve their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOut of the blue, she texted me: \u2018Hey, it\u2019s Amie. I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about forgiveness. I would love to get together and talk.\u2019 I told her I loved her and that I\u2019d see her the next week,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just days later, Harwick was killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt destroyed me for a while. There was no closure,\u201d Carey said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA friend later told me that she shed tears when she read that message. She still cared. I still loved her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s clear that this tragedy, along with everything else Drew has gone through in his life, has deeply affected him. I truly admire his strength in sharing such personal and painful experiences so openly. I believe his story has the power to help many who are going through or have gone through similar situations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rest in peace, Amie, and Drew, we think you\u2019re truly amazing!
