      I had depression for a couple of years, it was circumstantial; an accumulation of stress and it chickened me out.
      I haven’t felt such darkness ever.
      I became afraid of myself, my own thoughts.
      So, she’s a champ. Very strong woman.

      What people without depression don't realize is that it takes great mental strength to take your life. It's not as cut and dry as most people think, nor is it selfish.

And she always talked about her constant ideation when she felt very low about jumping off a bridge near her home.

There’s a TV movie about the Judds where there’s a scene where her character says that award shows cause her to have panic attacks. Maybe the Hall of Fame awards were the final straw.
    She hung on for so long.

She learned what this world is capable of and she carried that with her till the end.

      It is Demonic! That's why there's no medical cure. We have to face this if we ever want to end it. The Demon passes through the intimate act. Then the victim has to fend for themselves and either give in or fight against it.
      If only people realized and could find a way to protect against this.

There should not be a stigma around it as we all will be depressed at one time or another, whether you have lost a loved one, friend or family, a compassionate person, lost a job, career, disability, finding out you have an incurable disease, chronic pain, isolation which I believe social media adds to it especially in our youth, assaulted, environment etc. etc. very few people will go through life never feeling it, but with some it is chronic due to genetics and environment.
    We should help those that are suffering, with this and stop being afraid or ashamed of it.
    Losing Naomi is a great loss, but I have to say she was a strong woman to fight through this for so many years.
    My sympathies to her family and friends

    Naomi Judd will live forever through the music...she was so brave speaking about mental illness and her life with this disease. she was a fighter and nothing less!! I thank her for her braveness and willingness to speak on this subject publicly. I'm a 58 year old divorced woman who lives with mental illness. It's people like Naomi that help us to press on...and remember that where not alone in our struggles. To Ashley and Wynonna, so sorry for your loss but please know that your mother going public with her own illness was a true blessing for many if us
    You should be very proud of the woman you call mom.. thank you for sharing with the world. It means more than you'll ever know.. God bless you both and your Pop.and remeber you are loved by so many... Thank you again from northern Cali.

    I had a patient once who was absolutely gorgeous, but because she was getting older, didn't feel it. Nothing I could say would change her mind. She went home that night and committed suicide. I noticed as time went along that more people (women mostly) who had once been beautiful had the most difficulty with aging. They seemed lost without their good looks to provide them with meaning.

    I had the wonderful opportunity to have met Naomi and Wynonna on more then a few occasions, the type of work I was involved with allowed it in addition to many other public figures. The Judds were very pleasant, accepting, warm, easy to speak with, after all people in public eye are human just like us, difference is their job entails performing, more well known due to the nature of the job. The performance permits to take us away but if just for a moment in time to another world of forgetting our troubles, it does the same for the performer as well. Music is an exchange of energy of emotions between artist and audience, a slice of heaven where everything in the outside world is forgotten, a moment of blissful opportunity for us to be in touch with our feelings, sometimes the song touches a spot where we release tears. Music is emotions applied to lyrics, tones and melody, it's birthed out of emotions. Everything we do and create is birthed out of emotions.
    My greatest hopes is we never forget, we don't ever have amnesia from what she struggled immensely with like millions of people do. The stigma of mental health has to be stopped. The brain can become unwell just like any other organ in our body. When a person is born with a heart defect, their lifestyle has to be different then a person born with a healthy heart, if not their life expectancy is shorter. If a persons family has chronic mental health in their gene pool, if they're exposed to traumatic events or succumb to trauma, likelihood of triggering setting off imbalance of chemicals in the brain and effecting central nervous system is high, sometimes it can never rebalance, even through extensive treatments, they're resistant to treatment.
    Just as with a family with inheritance of diabetes, a family member can carry the gene however if they live a healthy lifestyle, odds are greater in their favor for gene not triggering.
    If we knew a person had diabetes, we're not going to oblige in asking them if they want a piece of cake, we'd know it's harmful. If we evolve to a place where we can speak openly about mental health, we can arrive to a place a person can freely mention they have temporary or chronic struggles therefore it will change the approach in how we speak to them. If the cake would effect the diabetic, the nature of words we use and our tone would be accommodating to the person struggling with mental health. The word mental is a variation of the mind, it does not mean crazy, health is to do with condition. There's physical and mental health.
    What would happen if a person felt shameful sharing with anyone they had a broken bone, they felt so utterly shameful they kept it a secret, because of the shame they didn't want to visit a doctor? It goes untreated, means no healing. In able to freely share, they'll get advice from a family member, friend or even a stranger. They'll be concerned about how it happened, how much pain they're in, and advise to go to the ER or doctors. By not having "shame", they're freely able to share, therefore able to have support and treatment from a doctor. Family and friends will offer support to help with necessities if they're immobilized. As long as there's "shame"/a stigma around mental health, it means a person doesn't share the thoughts they struggle with, don't express their feelings, they either hide as much as they can, either behind a smile or behind closed doors, which follows not seeing a mental health doctor, equals no treatment, which could manifest into decline.
    Addictions which is self medicating to numb and escape feeling certain emotions, is from burying trauma, in addition trying to cope with life stressors, "not in all cases", sometimes it's rooted in people that have a very sensitive disposition, they're sensitive to energy, they feel extremely deeply, it's the nature of whom they are. There's some coping tools they can adopt to help navigate in the unfortunate reality that our species can be harsh, but their personality won't alter, it's part of their gene pool. We wouldn't want to try and strip someone of who they are, it's like breaking into a persons house and stealing.
    There's absolutely nothing wrong with being sensitive, as far as feeling deeply goes, there is a problem if our sensitivity is projected in a way it inflicts harm upon another person. Feeling deep in this world, having sensitivity is perceived as a weakness for most part, because our species is still operating from the survivalist mode, the mentality of the strong survive, survivalist perception is "strength" (most popular and powerful, wealth, status, most awards, most intelligent, talented, most attractive, biggest house, etc....), we should not ever have to prove we're worthy to be loved or to survive based on accolades, appearance, degrees, etc...., it's superficial, not genuine in any capacity, the survivalist paradigm BRINGS out the worse in our species, which in turn inflicts trauma on each other. We were raised more on how to survive rather then raised on how to love. We've been living on a stage for generations performing, scared to show reality of ourselves, out of fear survival. We're overly competitive against each other due to fear for survival. Until we evolve into freely accepting our "humnaness" completely = able to discuss our burdens, trauma, our struggles, our shadow side/our flaws, our insecurities birthed from wounds, etc...., we'll not be able to heal collectively, therefore not evolve. Healing is done when we share, when we heal or at least manage the wounds our wounds will not project onto others, if they do bleed, at least we'll have the tools to resolve issues or reconcile. I understand fully it's frightening sharing the most intricate and delicate parts of ourselves within a species that perceives sharing the most human aspects of ourselves as weak, fear being taken advantage of, or looked at strangely, fear of rejection or abandoned from family, friends or society, but if want a healthier and loving species we'll have to. Our forefathers and mothers took leaps of faith and big risks before us to get us where we are today, we're here because of them, and one day future generations we'll be thanking us for taking risks. I'm not implying for us just to share with anyone, we must not do anything we feel will put us in harm's way, it be mental or physical, and also certainly must not do it if we're not ready, but if ever ready and safe to do so would be wonderful, if not ever ready it's ok too, doesn't mean weakness whatsoever, it's a personal right and choice, there's reasons known to person they don't feel comfortable doing so.
    ❤As Mrs. Naomi Judd stated in lyrics : "Love can build a bridge, between your heart and mine, love can build a bridge, don't you think it's time, don't you think it's time"
    YES IT'S TIME ❤🌉❤
    I thank Mrs. Naomi for all that she's contributed to the world. I'm so incredibly sorry for her years of struggling the internal fight. 🕊
    Where there's love, we will survive. The old survivalist mode needs to be said goodbye to. When there's love it opens the door to our humnaness. It will provide to us the experience and emotions just like we do when surrounded together before the music.
    My deepest love and condolences to Wynonna and Ashley, their family and friends. My heart breaks for her daughters and grandchildren. They'll be in my thoughts and well wishes of comfort. ❤🕊

    I don't want to sound glib, but I used to have severe depression where I could not get out of bed and severe anxiety/paranoia where I would walk into a Mall food court and feel like everyone was watching me. I grew up with gender dysphoria in a Conservative home so I thought the past bullying and PTSD was the cause of my depression. But at the age of 36, I went to Vegas and ate Buffets for 4 days (Eggs, Prime Ribs, Crabs) and the depression lifted. I am turning 50 this year and it is difficult to tell Vegans that eating Meat saved my last 14yrs of my life. Pharma Drugs just made things far worse for me. Considering I already had body dysphoria and eating disorders, I am not sure how drugs that turn people bloated is going to cure my Depression. I am often times amazed that I can now speak in public or meet new people and not have that crippling anxiety.

Mental Health Doctors rarely will look at nutrition. And Doctors in general nowadays believe that Plant Based is the one and only prime diet for humans. They instantly demonize anyone (Tom Cruise for example) who implies that depression and other mental illness could be a physical and nutritional disorder. Many people are having success on Carnivore Diet, but people are still unsure if it is avoiding sugars or the processed oils or even plants in general that is healing them.

I just cried out to God..”God I hurt, God I hurt.” Everyday until eventually one day I just stopped and one day I realize that constant mental emotional pain was gone!

      If you believe in God, pray for Him to heal them and memorize scripture and recommend they do the same. Prayer and God's word is very healing. Also getting them great counselors will help too. The more they talk about their pain/depression, the closer they'll get to healing. God bless!!

    Of course she has problems, because as a three year old she was being abused by a great uncle and was terrified everyday of her little life. So yes, she does have big, horrible emotional trauma, but what a survivor.

      Naomi put up with a mother that treated her like dirt. Her death teaches me to NOT put up with anyone. Not even a mama.
      You could tell she was fragile. Now, folks are fascinated with her because she's dead. I was a fan when she was alive. THAT makes me a TRUE fan and not a hearse chaser.
