Comments by the world heavy weight champion have been published two days after he sparked a media frenzy by announcing his retirement in a foul-mouthed tweet, only to later claim he was joking.
The 28-year-old told Rolling Stone magazine: "I can't deal with it and the only thing that helps me is when I get drunk out of my mind. They say I've got a version of bipolar. I'm a manic depressive. I just hope someone kills me before I kill myself."
Good news is I'm getting the right help & I'll be back even stronger than before, try & stop me!!?????????? God is great, blessed is Jesus.

Fury is to due to face a UK Anti-doping hearing next month after the discovery in June of traces of a banned substance in a sample of urine.
The fighter told Rolling Stone he had only turned to cocaine since he stopped training and claimed he had never used performance-enhancing drugs.
Fury also told the magazine he was receiving help for mental health problems and that he now hates boxing, despite loving the sport as a child.
Claiming he had endured racism for his heritage and status as a member of the traveller community, he said: "I've been to restaurants and been told 'Sorry mate you can't come in. No Travelers allowed."
Meanwhile, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) will decide in a meeting next Wednesday whether to withdraw Tyson Fury's license.
General secretary of the BBBofC, Robert Smith, said: "There are a number of issues with Mr Fury that need to be considered, that have been well-publicised. All of Mr Fury's recent issues will be discussed at that point, after which we'll see what we're going to do."
