Reply #66: she was speaking about a time.... [View All]

[pookieblue]

she was going through a deep depression and how she felt at the time when she was first diagnosed. the interview in people magazine gives the whole quote.

I would like to believe that most people know that we don't always think and speak rationaly.

cut her some slack. I remember having thoughts like this, when I was going through a rough period. as I said, there was a time, where I was sitting on my bathroom floor crying, begging god to take me.

It's a human emotion.

she was in no way saying this is how she feels now.

I'm thankful that she was honest enough to share this, since it seems like mainstream socity think and acts like Depression is something to be ashamed of and hide.

Perhaps her comments will help others to open up and speak to their doctors/friends/family about how they are really feeling. They will seek help. no one should have to fight this alone. and no one should be made to feel ashamed for how they are feeling. sometimes living with an illness like Cancer, ALS, MS, Lupus...etc... can be overwhelming..and it's worse when one feels like they are having to deal with this on their own.
