Love Is Blind’s Carlton Morton is reportedly seeking therapy after police answered a 911 call that was made from his home.
The call came hours after the 34-year-old reality star shared a disturbing Instagram post on Tuesday in which he said he didn’t want ‘this life anymore,’ according to TMZ.
Morton’s stint on the Netflix reality series ended in disaster after his fiancée Diamond Jack broke up with him when he came out as bisexual.

A videographer caught up with Morton Thursday in Atlanta, and he tried to downplay fears for his safety.
‘I want them to know that I’m dealing with this the best that I can,’ he said.
He said he was getting considerable harassment on social media.
‘Obviously, every day is new. Waking up to death threats in my DMs, social media comments. Just feeling again like I have to rally behind myself constantly,’ he continued.

Morton didn’t offer many details when asked about the 911 call from his home.
‘I’m OK. I had a very tough day and some people apparently wanted to check on me, and that’s all I can really say about it right now,’ he explained.
‘It’s kinda embarrassing. I just feel like the world hates me now.’
According to authorities, someone at his home call 911 about an injury that wasn’t life threatening, and he was later taken to a hospital.
But he also revealed he was on his way to a therapy session for some much-needed professional help.
‘I feel like therapy is everything, and it’s something that in the black community that we don’t really talk about. It’s very important right now to go to those types of sessions,’ he said.
Morton worried his fans and family after venting Tuesday on Instagram about the fallout from his Love Is Blind appearance.
Troubling: Police checked in on him hours after a disturbing Instagram post that read like a cry for help. ‘I feel along and don’t want any of this life anymore,’ he wrote
Didn’t go well: Carlton’s online harassment came in the wake of his disastrous appearance on Love Is Blind
‘I’m really done,’ he wrote, before claiming he wouldn’t be doing any more interviews or press requests.
He also singled out the ‘URBAN MEDIA’ and claimed that ‘Black lives matter until it’s an LGBT Black life.’
He concluded the post by calling out celebrities friends who hadn’t bothered to stick up for him in public.
His caption was even bleaker: ‘Thanks for the 3 of y’all who supported me in this. I feel alone and don’t want any of this life anymore. I’m fighting ALONE. And it HURTS.’
Opening up: After 10 days of speed dating without seeing the other person, he proposed to Diamond Jack, 28
Bad timing: But after coming out is bisexual once they met in person, he got into a blowout with her at a pool over the admission, which she said came much too late
Carlton’s online harassment came in the wake of his disastrous appearance on Love Is Blind.
The reality series puts singles on a 10-day speed dating course, but neither are able to see each other until the man proposes.
Afterward, they’re able to meet face-to-face and continue bonding at a couple’s retreat before briefly moving in together and heading to the altar.
After meeting his fiancée Diamond Jack, 28, in person for the first time, he came out to her as bisexual.
The admission didn’t go well, leading to a major blowout by the pool, which she claimed was because he had waited too long to tell her.
Off guard: Morton said he regretted waiting to tell her. ‘I didn’t think that it would be such an issue because I felt like it was a face-to-face conversation,’ he explained; pictured February 27
Before heading to his therapy session, Carlton seemed to wish he’d handled the admission differently.
‘I do regret it now. I didn’t think that it would be such an issue because I felt like it was a face-to-face conversation, but being how I see that it has affected our story, I’m beginning to regret even being a part of it, just because it’s just been too much,’ he admitted.
On Thursday, Morton was featured in the Love Is Blind reunion episode.
After apologizing to Diamond, he offered her the engagement ring he intended to give her as a peace offering and a sign of friendship, which she accepted.
