Michelle Obama shares advice on overcoming depression: ‘you're not going to feel great all the time’

Michelle Obama appeared on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” Tuesday, where she opened up about her low-grade depression and how she overcame it during a pandemic and racial strife.

“For me, it's turning off the noise that is upsetting, you know, that I can't keep reading all the feeds that are fueling my anxiety and taking a break from it,” Obama said. “I surround myself with things that make me feel good -- family, friends, walks, exercise.”

Obama also revealed she has talked to her children about depression and hopes that they understand life isn’t all Beyoncé hugs.

“When I talk to my kids about that, I try to urge them to understand that the valleys are temporary and so are the peaks,” Obama said.

Oh the humanity, poor Michelle is so oppressed that she's experiencing depression.

Here, contained in this article, she shares her words of wisdom. (I was going to include a BARF ALERT, but that seems to be considered verboten by some).

I doubt very much that she had real clinical depression. Just a bit of sadness over events that transpired. Big difference

Trannies, gays and lesbians have more depression than normal people. So Big Mike can relate.

I overcame a lot of depression when she and her husband left the White House.

The simplest way to “overcome depression” is to take vitamin D supplement (D3) or spend more time in the sunshine in the summer. In the winter go for the D.

Why are Democrats always trying to depress everyone?

My husband (who is younger than I) was reminiscing about the Carter years, and how lousy things were for his rural family during that time - and how much better things became when Reagan was elected.

I asked him if he’d seen the ‘fireside’ chat or the ‘malaise’ speech...he didn’t recall those, but he and his family certainly experienced the effects of those times.

Stop smoking weed. Your depression will magically go away.

I was depressed for eight years. It left for four years but has returned.

If she’s that depressed, I think she should go to the all-white community on Martha’s Vineyard where she has her waterfront home, and go drown herself.
