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.

Curse those depression meds!
If Ann Coulter were here she might say "thats too bad"
I don't think she owns a dress.
"How does the swing keep from collapsing with so much weight?"
Her fat head weighs as much as her fat ass, so it's balanced.
They have the swing attached to the Empire State Building. So far...it has held up well.
-that was my first thought, she should try walking a half hour each day instead of something so clearly hokey.

Paging Tom Cruise. IIRC, he seems to have an opinion on this subject and would be willing to share it.
But she's got a huge closet full of tents.
Did she even have the kids back then?
Her head is mostly made up of blubber, no brains there.
You know, I think only someone with extraordinarily bad judgment would make all of this known to the public.
This is none of our business. However, now that Ms. O'Donnell has let these details become public, I have this to say: She's crackers, and now we know why.
LOL, perfect!
ROTFLMAO!
I'm not a Doctor but I knew that.
Grandpa Munster knew about this years ago.
"If she'd hang rightside up, it'd improve my mood."
LMAO!!! I couldn't agree more!
Bet shes even uglier upside down.

You will have to ask her girlfriend about that opinon :-)
If I looked like Rosie, I would have a penis transplant and get a job as a lumber jack.
