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.

When she's hanging I hope she has the good judgment to not wear a dress!

And the good judgment to wear an iron bra and a girdle. Otherwise she might suffocate.

PLEASE do not talk about suicide as if it were a joke...It happened in my family...and we will never recover from it or understand why it happened...after it is over it's the family that suffers...please think about that before you make a joke about suicide again.

" . . . hangs upside down for up to a half-hour a day to improve her mental state."

Uh, I don't think it's working.

[Redleg Duke]

She certainly should not be taken seriously.

[oldenuff2no]

I just have to laugh.
By her own words we now know that she isn't just and absolute moron, she has admitted to being a mentally unstable idiot.
How can people look up to this pathetic loud mouth ignorant beast?

"When she's hanging I hope she has the good judgement to not wear a dress!"

Of course not...it isn't a cross-dresser!

Sorry. This can't be true.

I thought she was the most stable and clearest thinking person in the land?

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.

Hence, the "victim" card. Poor, poor pathetic Rosie is depressed. THE DONALD WAS RIGHT.

For God's sake what a bunch of pansie a$$es in Hollyweird. (I didnt say faggots) Seasonal Affective Disorder? Get a grip on your life!

Please don't demonstrate this Rosie, we'll take your word for it.

When she hangs up side down, who is she hanging with?

[LilyBean]

So do bats. And they are still rabid little buggars.

[rintense]

She needs professional help.

[kaboom]

Perhaps Dr Kevorkian can help her out.

Good question. Columbine was in '99.
