Rosie says she's treated for depression

29 minutes ago

Rosie O'Donnell says she began being treated for depression after the Columbine school shootings and hangs upside down for up to a half-hour a day to improve her mental state.

When gunmen killed 13 people at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999, O'Donnell said she felt as if it had happened to her children.

"I couldn't stop crying," she said on an episode taped for ABC's "The View" and due to air Friday. "I stayed in my room. The lights were off. I couldn't get out of bed and that's when I started taking medication."

Anyone concerned about the stigma of taking medication for depression should know that "it saved my life," she said.

When she began taking antidepressants, O'Donnell, 44, said she began yoga and "inversion therapy," where she hangs upside down by a swing for 15 to 30 minutes a day. She demonstrates it on "The View."

O'Donnell said she also has seasonal affective disorder, often called SAD, the wintertime blues that can strike when the days grow short. SAD is characterized by recurrent major depressive episodes during the fall and winter.

She's "instantly happy" on sunny days but feels as if she's being tortured when it's cloudy. She feels the most important thing to do when you're feeling depressed is to get up and move.

Yeah, but if her head burst, who could tell?

Maybe then her head would burst and the American people wouldn't have to be subjected to her asinine drivel on a daily basis.I/i>

It has..... that melon of hers is a menace. Really it concerns me if it gets any bigger it could start generating it's own gravitational pull. Affecting the moon the tides....

I think she also suffers from mental anguish disorder, better known as MAD.

Is it just me, or are we being treated to "The Disfunctional 'Celebrity' of the Day" lately? Not a day goes by that someone "famous" doesn't confess to being depressed, having some disorder or another, being an addict of one type of drug or another, going into rehab for some disorder, etc., etc., ad nauseum. SHEESH
(Oh, by the way, don't let Tom Cruise know that you are taking drugs for depression, Rosie.)

I stopped watching the show when I heard they were putting Rosie on in Meredith's place, so I missed it. What the heck did she say to Elizabeth? Elizabeth is the only sane person on the show now!

She's made so many mistakes, the latest being the incredibly rude remarks to Elizabeth H., that even her "gay base" is turning on her.

Is she going to shave her head? I bet she can fit quite a few more sixes on her head than Britney managed to fit...

Hearing Rosie is on medication is like hearing that gambling is going on in a casino. Everyone knew she was going to complain of being a "victim" of Depression. Next she will complain she is depressed because Christians are mean to her.

I am sure you are right..Maybe ABC got so many complaints about her she had to do something..I never really watched The View and when I found out she would be on there I did just to see how many times she downed anyone that did not agree with her..I was not disappointed at all it didn't take her but that show to see I was right..it must be awful to be so bitter all the time like she is..

Can you say "Fathead"?

Or maybe she's trying to get the fat to float to the "top" when she's inverted. 'cept I don't think there's any room there either.
