The band suffered a setback , however , when Wentz had an emotional breakdown in February 2005 , culminating in a suicide attempt . He had withdrawn from the rest of the group , with his condition only apparent through his lyrics , and had also become obsessed with the recent Indian tsunami and his own self-doubt . " It is particularly overwhelming when you are on the cusp of doing something very big and thinking that it will be a big flop " , he said later . Wentz swallowed a handful of Ativan anxiety pills ( he described the act as " hypermedicating " ) in the Chicago Best Buy parking lot . After being rushed to the hospital and having his stomach pumped , Wentz moved back home to Wilmette to live with his parents
