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.

I would have guessed an eating disorder...........Freaking swine.
It's not the hanging upside down that helps, it's the two guys beating you with sticks that does the trick!
Trust me.
That's one big hog!
No wonder she's got $hit for brains.
Put a big, full moon behind that and you got it!
Wow, she must have really been depressed after 9-11.
Just another way for her to whine about guns...
Of course her bodyguard has one, but that's OK. He'd need an arsenal to guard that fat swine.
-I had to read the headline twice....the first time I read it I thought it said she hung herself......
I thought she spent much of her time in Hollywood. Gee I hear it rains there once in a while. Rosy should try living in fly-over country or New England and see how the weather affects her. Maybe she'd be visiting the gun section in Walmart.
I-Beam.
FuitLoop.
What she actually means is that she hangs right-side up, 'cause she's upside the rest of the time.
Crazy as a bat ;-)
I looked for one. LOL
And this just goes to prove the point that liberals are unhappy individuals who want everyone else to validate their unhappiness and be unhappy, too.
I didn't know gays could be SAD.
shove a spit down her throat and spin her and you have pig roast
If Ann and Rosie were together you'd have on average two normally weighted American women.
