NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Zee took to Instagram Friday, in honor of National Suicide Prevention Week, to share a photo of herself at one of her darkest moments -- shortly after a second suicide attempt.

"This photo always breaks my heart," Zee, 39, wrote. "This was during my first real job on tv at WEYI (in Michigan). This wide, forced smile was not long after my second suicide attempt. Of course no one at work knew. I was a master at hiding my mental health issues. Especially from myself."
