I love her mother’s words… she deserves credit for staying as long as she could. That sent chills through me. I suffer with anxiety and depression, it’s a day to day- a lot of times, moment to moment battle. I’ve heard everything from “just stop stressing out “ to “ try and be positive”. Unless you live this, you don’t understand. Those comments don’t help. My heart is broken for this beautiful young woman, and her family. This has me sobbing, because I get it. 😰🙏🏻
I suffer from it too. Its a everyday fight. Some days are good, some are okay, some are hard and some are just plain brutal. That was a very "chilling phrase"....
I love that April said Cheslie deserved credit for fighting a hard fight against her depression. Depression is an insidious maze of emotion that can lead anyone into the pits of despair and sometimes unable to see a way out. God bless Cheslie and her family. This was a great interview.
It’s literally a fight daily.I know because I suffer from depression myself,one day everything is good,and the next those voices are taking over your mind 💔💔💔 only people keeping me alive are my children,and the therapy I’m receiving.
@@mariehill6427 oh wow it must be so hard one day at a time is all u can do my ♥ goes out to you and I wish u all the best and always remember your beautiful children needs u
Any brain disease that can involve suicidal thoughts (depression, bipolar, schizophrenia) should be regarded as a potentially-terminal illness...surviving depression is brutal and takes a tremendous amount of courage every day...this brain disease convinces people that they are not loved, that they are alone and that their suffering will lever end...this is a national epidemic that is not getting the research support and attention it needs due to ongoing stigma around suicide...love and admiration to her parents for honoring her legacy
@@lifestraight I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm praying Jesus sends someone to show you His love for you. You are so loved. Hang in there.❤
*Quite touching interview. I appreciate that Rachel didn't hold back her tears and that they were not edited out, etc. Those are genuine tears. This story has gripped me like for no other public figure...*
When Whitney Houston died and experienced the same emotions. I just ask, how many more of these tragic and painful experiences must we live through? I call out to Jesus even now.
@@pocahontasreese1423 The mom should have spoken to WHOM years ago? NOT to the public. A depressed person doesn't want to be outed publicly by their parent...or ANYONE else that they have confided in. And THEY DID try to get her help when she attempted suicide previously.
@@sharon4951 If bringing the problem to the light will save a life, I advocate for the revelation. What are we doing now? We are asking people who stuggle to get help. Perhaps stepping out of the eye of the public (pretending to be well ) and doing whatever it takes to deal with the root causes of the depression would have given us a different ending. If indeed Cheslie jumped to her death (which I don't believe) we have to step up our game. The Church has a greater responsibility to care for Christians. This piece of the puzzle must be placed properly. I am thinking about the next Cheslie. Bring the issue out of the dark. The light will play a huge part in the healing process.
Her mom is hiding something. Ur child doesn't just text u that (how convenient it was a text,) u don't see any prior signs, or anything & she supposedly leave a S-note, that merely says..."I leave everything to my mother?" Her mom doing all this press, is SUS alone. But seeing how accomplished she was....If I was the mom I would be asking a million QUESTIONS. I just learned about this but the mom, something is up with her.....I feel it.
That girl didn’t self delete no way!!!!! High functioning depression my ass . I refuse to believe she took her own life and to jump from 29 stories???? Sorry!!!! The narrative they are pushing to the masses isn’t going to go past me!!!!!!
Such a sad story. I feel so bad for her and her family, that her life was cut short like that. But as someone who struggles with depression, I understand the feeling of wanting to end it all. Hopefully the people that love her can find some peace in knowing she’s not suffering anymore.
I’m so sorry you struggle, I do as well. I understand you. For me, it’s not that I think “ I want life to end “, it’s more “ how do I keep living life like this?”. I have beautiful people in my life, I have my precious dogs… I can’t leave them. Let’s hold on together. You’re not alone. I don’t know you, but I love you and I understand you. 💜
It is sad. I learned about depression in middle school. I know it can effect friends and family after someone dies. Therapy, church, and movies help me deal with depression. Comedy and faith base movies.
I read a comment from a story on RUclips a while back wherein a person suffering from depression and having suicidal ideation realized they would not actually stop their pain by committing suicide but instead they would be transferring their pain to their loved ones; the person noted this realization kept them from taking their own life. I hope you think about the people that love you so much that it will shatter their world if something like that ever happen. I hope you’ll continue seeking support from your loved ones, and mental health provider.
She basically had everything! Beauty, brains and seems nice so it’s hard to understand the depth of despair this women struggled with. Depression is such a hopeless and insidious disease 😫🤦🏾♀️ joy is the greatest gift we can have. You see how people who have absolute nothing can still have joy and it challenges you to rethink everything you think you know about what matters in life.
Why do I feel like this last text thing is a big FAT lie. "You've done nothing wrong, you've done everything right". Why go around for interviews when your child has just committed suicide by throwing herself off a building. There's so much more to this and I will never believe this last text nonsense.
Wow so tragic.I've suffered with depression and suicide ideation.I attempted suicide once and was unsuccessful.I thinks its very important to have a support system.Avoid being alone for long periods of time.Adopt a pet,volunteer to help senior citizens or people with disabilities.Always keep a joournal.Develop your spirituality.Last but not least pray!!
Just goes to show just because someone is beautiful, has a great career, accolades, accomplishments, lots of friends, etc and "appears" happy or "to have it all" doesn't mean that they do, or that they don't have their bad days like the rest of us. Depression is that enemy, that demon trying to tear all of us as God's children down. I've been through it, suffered anxiety during my teenage years. But now I'm 33, not even close to half of the thing Cheslie accomplished, but one thing I always tell myself is this life is temporary, it's an illusion...... getting money, success, a spouse, this and that is all created by the world, which puts pressure on all of us to have by a certain age, etc. Our happiness shouldn't come from things, but rather just who we are and GOD. God is the centre of it all
As a person who's battling depression and has attempted suicide when I was in my 20's I can honestly say that it is a constant fight, that others will disregard. Call you crazy. I'm doing so much better now, I no longer wish to take my life, but sometimes I still find myself alone in my room......... It's okay to talk about it!!! Your feelings are real!!!! You are not crazy!!!!!
It truly is. If it weren't for Jesus Christ, who knows I may very well have went through with it in my own life. He is the answer. Without Him its so much harder
Sorry but there's something fake about her mum her dad looks really gutted but the mum seems to love the limelight and is far too measured. The person in the picture with the glasses is that really a man or a woman being a man. That person is well suspect find out who they are.
Listen. I struggle and my family has no clue. No one knows. They think im just a lil down. But boyyyyy oh boyyy the things that run through my mind. I get so close. I fear one day i may slip too.
I pray the dark clouds will be removed and happiness will take over your life. Stay strong! You got this. Yes, life throws curve balls, we all fall short, but just know, it will get better. Talk to your doctor about how you feel, ALSO, talk to someone you trust (family, friend). Keep positive words and energy around you. You're worth the effort it takes to get stronger and better 💪💖
I literally cried for cheslie. As someone who's struggled with major depression most of my life I understand her pain. She just wanted relief. She was tired. She looked at her past and saw no end in sight, no escape from it in her future.
The sadness in their faces is so hard to see. This woman seems like she was a sweet person. It's so unfortunate that she struggled with depression and it overtook her.
Lots of people that laugh, smile a lot are hiding lots and are usual sad inside, feeling less than. We are admonished not to envy others. We don't know what they're going through.
That blonde wig thou🙄🙄 Even the interviewer demonstrated a genuine grief and sense of loss. Stepdad facial expression shows sadness and pain while Mom is busy rendering emotionless intellectualized presentation. This is not about being strong. Something is oddly off.
Don't give in. Don't give up. I live in Africa, in poverty BUT I refuse to give in to the devil's lies that life is not worth it. I chose to believe in a higher power, God, and He sustains me moment by moment, day by day LITERALLY. I live hand to mouth. But I choose to live. I choose life. Choose God, choose life.
The resilience of her mother is beyond admirable. I can't begin to imagine the depth of her pain. Thankful for her candor and willingness to share in such a personal space. I wonder if one day she'll discuss what if anything began Chesley on her path of depression. Was there any childhood trauma or was she just born with this insidious perspective that her life wasn't worth living.
Just goes to show, you think someone has it all (looks, career, money) and you wish you had their life. But you don't know how torn up they are inside. You don't know their real story, their pasts, their hidden traumas. Be happy for what you have and don't compare yourself to others.
NeoMoses. This interview took place three months after Cheslie’s death. The father is still in shock and grieving the loss of his daughter and how she died. It will be years before he’ll come to terms with that. No one grieves in the same way, her mother may appear strong and stoic, but in private she’s grieving very much I’m sure. There’s no such thing as grieving the ‘right way’. Everyone grieves in their own way and no matter how long it takes, it is OK. P.S. My father passed away suddenly many years ago, I was unable to cry and didn’t cry until eleven months later. That’s when I began my grieving journey.
@@Lauren-j468 thank you for replying to my comment, I understand the frustration and sadness I lost my dad last year in December. I appreciate you being patient and kind to me with my response, I understand it’s difficult and different for everyone
She was such a beautiful young lady and was always so full of energy. You just never know what people are dealing with. My thoughts and prayers are with her parents and everyone who loves and cared for her.💙
Bless her family. Depression is like an acting job. You go to work, you smile, gripe, joke, work. Under that mask is another story. I hid it from my friends and my family because I I grew up in a time where you didn’t admit to not wanting to get out of bed, to shower, eat, go to work, talk to anyone. Her mother speaks true. It’s a battle.
There's nothing a suicidal person wants to hear more than the validation that they fought as hard as they could for as long as they did. It is not without horrific agony that suicidal people choose to leave their family. It's almost always the reason they hang on as long as they do, sometimes the only reason. And it would be endlessly comforting to anyone who could hear their family members still be able to smile when they talk about them, and to appreciate how hard they tried to give them all the years they had in them.
As someone who struggles with depression daily, I am wrecked by this. I pray her precious soul is at rest now. Her mother is my hero. Her strength is beyond amazing. ❤
Do you know Jesus? I am wondering how much more Christians can help those who struggle with depression. This is a wicked and cruel world. It is difficult to endure so much pain alone. She should have alerted more than just a few family members. Her soul is not at rest if she took her own life. If her mom really thinks this is the case, as a Christian, she should be mourning the bad decision that Cheslie chose to take her own life. It almost seems like the mom is at peace with the choice. Life is precious and only God must take it. Whether it is a newborn, elderly, or any other created being, we are not authorized to take life that God has given. Living in Darkness will keep you bound. Shed light on the problem and face it head on. There were so many that could have helped Cheslie. There are many that can help you too, Meca Hunter.
@@pocahontasreese1423 I use to believe the same their soul doesn’t rest.., I now do not believe that to be …depression is a disease (the person experiencing depression has no other way out) they take their life .., I believe she will make it to heaven it’s just going to take time!! God wants us to be with him and he will fight for us if you believe in Him… I’m praying for this beautiful Soul and All those that deal with Depression !!! God Bless
@@staycb.8623 Are you a Christian? The Bible teaches us that Jesus is the only way to heaven. Moses and Abraham looked forward to Jesus. Read Luke 16: 10-31, the Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar. Jesus speaks to us. Depression is just another illness and we must respond like we would others. You cannot take your life because you are unable to live according to your own will. Do you know of any disciples in the bible who took their own life? Only Judas, the evil one, the deceiver. Life is tough. We have to sustain ourselves and live by the word of God. Our Careers will not give us the eternal peace that we seek. If Cheslie was so mentally unstable, she never should have been in the eye of the public. Perhaps she should have focused on her mental health more. Her parents hid her illness from the public. This was wrong. It could have been much worse. Cheslie could have taken more lives. She could have jumped and injured innocent bystanders. I pray for her mom because I know hindsight is always better. If given another opportunity, I think the family would have taken a different approach and helped Cheslie. Mentally ill people must be cared for in a different manner. We should never hide this dark secret.
exactly...all sound bites and generalizations... not very helpful to prevent others from committing the same act.. the mother seems to want to preserves Cheslie's image of perfect achiever... over sharing the exact struggles of Cheslie, the diagnosis and how others can learn from this
Something about this mother doesn't sit right in my spirit. The way this woman is smiling and joking just isn't normal. The father on the other hand looks very sad.
@@IndigoCosmic if you notice what supposedly brings her closure is in her estimation her name being cleared. It disgusts me as a parent to hear her say that. She sounds like a narcissist.
@@fromhopelesstovictorious275 Totally agree. My Spirit said the same. Not only does she sound like a narcissist, she look like one too! She come across to me like the witch in the story of Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs that constantly looked in the mirror & repeated "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? Furthermore; the mother said that she knew Cheslie was battling depression so if she knew, why is it that she never speaks on how she encourage and assist her daughter to see a medical Professional so that Cheslie could be properly diagnosis & treated with "Anti -depression medication. ?????? Where the proof of medical documentation? I believe the Mother is trying to bring closure so that she can go on with her own Narcissist's life. A lying & '"gaslighting is embedded in the personality of a narcissist and if one is not careful the Narcissist will be the cause of your early death...poor Cheslie and that whole family!
@@BeneIsrael I completely agree! Idc, idc, idc… something is terribly off with her mom. If you’ve ever dealt with a narcissist, you can spot that spirit a mile away.
I don’t think she’s making about herself. I think she was asked what the last message was and it was her daughter telling her that she did everything right. I think it’s because when a loved one commit suicide the family members and friends blame themselves. But that provided her with closure, that would release her from any guilt.
I agree. Something just feels off about her. Even if my daughter had sent me a text telling me I did everything right I would 1) go visit my child asap and if they didn't live close I would call for a wellness check to be done, especially if I knew she was suffering from depression & had tried killing herself before. 2) If I was too late I would still blame myself despite her message and I would be devastated. I do have a daughter who suffers & has tried killing herself before. Which is why I always show up if her messages seem off & I would never be able to forgive myself if anything ever happened to her. Maybe she is just a stronger woman than I am.
@@CM0891 I've never trusted her mother. I see a woman who would sell her soul. I do not know her mother and it is not because she is with a WM, because I am with WM but I have to be honest there is a segment of BP who are with whrs and who are not with whts, who would sell their soul for wht validation and trinkets. They hate them selves so much. Ketanji Jackson brown, I don't trust her either as well as judge Tammy Kemp. Even though I don't know them personally, I cannot shake this feeling of dirt about them.
@MadgeMackles - yes, it can be hard for people who don't suffer from depression to understand what would lead a person to take their own life, but I've been depressed and it's such a heavy feeling, and even though Cheslie was able to get out of bed and work, and go about her life, there are those who struggles for days and weeks just to leave the house because they are so depressed, and I think that it's those moments where an individual might reason "what's the point of this if I'm going to be living with this pain every day?' For some people therapy and medication can work, but for others who can't seem to find a way out of the darkness in their minds, suicide seems like the only way to resolve the situation.
Beautiful interview. This person that interviewed her knew her from Xtra and was obviously grieving for her friend. May God wrap His arms around you all and surround you with peace. Cheslie's heart was so big.🌾💗
Yes she was in tears. I still can't wrap my head around why she did what she did and the way she took her life by jumping off of a building. Who could muster up the courage to do such a thing. If your life is too stressful walk it back quit your job downgrade find a less stressful job. If your friends are toxic dump them. That's what you should muster up the courage to do not kill yourself
@@2sense110 That's so ignorant. Depression is not a joke. Every day I suffer with it. I wish I'd die. It's not that simple. Even being a stay at home mom now. It's not enough. My life is not enough. I don't know about her but I was abused by my own father for most of my life. People can absolutely change your course with their actions.
@@janeabailey8889 I assumed this young lady had what a lot of us don't have and that is money and with money you can make moves. Some of us are so broke we can't even pivot. I myself suffer from depression but I guarantee if I had her money I would find a way to ease the stress and burden of life
@@2sense110 I agree that you can make moves with money but it does not make everyone happy. Money settles many things in the moment but it does not fulfill loneliness or pain. There are thousands of people with money that STILL commit suicide. I pray you receive what you need to ease your stress and burdens that you speak of.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful but something doesn't look right to me how can a beautiful woman look so happy have a beautiful career who's on top of the world interviewing so many celebrity take her own life'm not saying people don't get depressed and take their own life but something just doesn't sound right
I would just to to compare the mom’s reaction to the Judd daughters…. And they say losing a parent is NOTHING like losing a child. Obviously something is super weird with the mother…

Cheslie was such a beautiful person and inspiration. It is so heartbreaking that she experienced so much personal pain. I hope her and her family are at peace. 💕🌹
I went through most of my life as an optimistic and happy person. In my late 20s, a series of events forced me to reevaluate my life and set me into a spiraling depression. Even at my lowest point, I never considered killing myself… But I definitely thought the world would be better off without me. My heart goes out to people who reach that point. My four children are probably the only reason I have never considered that. ❤
1:38 Not just women though.. As a gay person of color who deals with anxiety and depression, I'll always admire and be inspired by Cheslie. I hope i can one day accomplish even just a small bit of what she was able to fulfill.
Her mom is so sus, you can tell she is a narcissist. I don't get how anyone easel doesn't see it. That girl was under a lottttt of pressure. The pressure of perfection which was a standard her mom put onto her. Also it is so bizarre to make your suicide public by posting a picture of yourself on insta. Like I sympathize with her depression but I do not sympathize w that model for trauma dumping on however thousands of insta followers she had. An attention thing. Just like her mother. Do we not see the similarities now? That mom without a doubt contributed to this. Also every person who puts their death like her or others NEEDS to be deplatformed. Her pic is still up?? Why. This is going to give young impressionable girls a really bad idea. Like really bad.
Amen. Really works I try for myself! Our father in heaven is literally only reason today that I stand and write this im not lying. I feel, thought I had all issues, problems at same time soon as I broke and started praying within seconds I bounce right out that now when I go through it I smile I know its going to be ok, just amazing how faith, his word, his works just comes over you. Thank you father GOD in Jesus name. Amen
But the mom seems ok in knowing that her daughter was basically Dr jekyll and Mr Hyde. I am just not understanding. She knows that her daughter was suffering in silence and she basically allowed her to stay in New York by herself? Ridiculous.
@@fatgirlmagic4703 @Fat Girl Magic Although your thoughts are understandable you can't watch a grown adult 24/7. It is obvious Cheslie had a support system around her led by her mother and a therapist. However, when a sufferer of mental illness makes up their mind carry out the act of self-deletion, there is very little others can do. In other interviews, the mother said Cheslie's final text was sent when she knew her mother was in an exercise class and not close to her phone. Such is the savageness of this disease.
It has been 3 months since she passed and I am amazed how strong her mom is, how she is coping with this loss and giving comfort to others who grief with her
She seemed to have it all. Beauty, brains, full of life etc. Yet satan is a thief and made her feel sad. I've been there before. Trust in Jesus Christ and he will get you through the storm.
The mother is a lil TOO STRONG for me....Seems like she is enjoying being the person they all interview to talk about HER DAUGHTER'S depression 😐Wish she could tell her own story...Rip luv💕
You don’t know how many tears she cried before making the video. Social media does not and will never reveal the true essence, of a person, all we get are bits pieces through a narrow lenses that feed people desire to be judgmental.
@@hadiyahmg Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And please, excuse me, the death of a child is a total wreckage to normal parents. Something is off with her.
@@afrikanheritage99 I’m thinking because it had been years of her knowing what Cheslie was going through and because she had attempted before.. she probably knew for a longtime, her daughter could attempt again and pass away that way.. I think how she feels & is expressing herself, is different to a parent that had no idea what their child was going through & this happening..
This interview though short and brief was really and truly an eye opener on how we as human view death individually. Some of us need a whole lot of time to mourn and grieve and some of us could not of bear such sorrow agony pain and suffering and just wanna do the unthinkable ourselves. I admire April for holding on she must be one strong and very courageous WOMAN to endure such SORROW and find joy and comfort in times of despair. Cheslie made peace with her mother and didn't blame her for any mishaps nor misfortune that may or may not have occured . Cheslie adored and lived her life through the eyes of her beloved April/ mom/confidant she looked like her she talked like her she was just as small and as petite and just as pretty as her they honestly favor GREATLY I look back over my life and think about where GOD brought me from I think about how momma taught us children that she would not always be around and that there was a greater love out there greater than a mother father sister and a brother and and for many years I tried to copy and live through the eyes of my mother but once I found out about this greater love greater than a mother it was at that moment I stopped trying to live like mother and just be me that's all I can really be I'm just so very sorry Cheslie K ❤️
To be honest what keeps me, is my relationship with God. I don't want to sound cliche, but it's the word and constant prayer that keeps me in line. Now that I recognize it's mental, I say it out loud when I pray and then I speak positive words towards it. If I relayed on myself, things, or the people around me. I would have done it long time ago. No questions ask.
1 Peter 5: 7 "Casting ALL of your care upon him, for he careth for you'' some may say how do I cast all my cares on him? What I learned to do was 1)Pray and repent to your heavenly father God for all your Sins, and let him know that the burden is just too great and I need your help.....Now! 2) Invite Jesus Christ into your heart and make him your Lord and Savior 3) Start reading your Bible and let God minister to your heart & soul 4) Surround yourself with like minded God Believers, then after a while depression starts to fade away because you're so caught up with Jesus Christ until your mind is constantly on HIM, the relationship with Jesus is REAL.....until you don't have anything to be depressed about. 5) Be Filled With The Holy Spirit, let Him lead you, comfort you, guide you, show you how to navigate through this world and through your day to day life. THAT SIMPLE..... Jesus did it for me and He'll do it for you. I had psychiatric doctors, therapist, group sessions, taking 7 different kinds of medications and I Knew that this is not working, I was getting worst until one day I met Jesus Christ The Son Of The Living God and He Healed me and now I have the Joy Of The Lord.
It’s unfortunate that depression is still so misunderstood. I had to become my own advocate. The medications that are pushed can actually make it far worse because many cause emotional blunting which makes you not feel anything. If you’re suicidal then you feel no guilt, no remorse, nothing. I think many suicide victims are in that state. If you feel nothing at all, and everything and everyone around looks gray with no color at all, there’s not much to live for.
@Cece Mccain I suffered from chronic back and hip pain due to a car accident which caused some anxiety and depression. Work stress also contributed to the anxiety. I was put on Cymbalta to help the pain, and they hoped as an extra benefit it would help with anxiety and depression. It suppressed the pain, but also suppressed my emotions, feelings and anything else that would allow me to be emotionally present and care about my life, job, circumstances. I felt like I was floating around stagnant in a gray haze and life was just revolving around me passing me by. My life began to deteriorate. I quit cold Turkey when I realized the danger I was in as the emotional blunting was just getting worse and I was afraid I would commit suicide as I was beginning to think, “gosh I see why people give up.” When you don’t feel anything giving in to giving up begins to look like a viable option. Within 6 weeks I felt better, but the meds can cause permanent residual damage. The side effects were manageable and considering the trade off, I’d put up with them in a heartbeat. I was Overwhelmed with pain and emotions but at least I was feeling things again. In time things calmed down. I was even able to manage and resolve my back and hip injury. When you “feel”, you can do something about it, deal with it, etc. I’m 💯 better now. My energy, zest for life and creativity has returned. I read that 75% of people experience emotional blunting on Cymbalta and neither my doctor or chiropractor mentioned this very severe side effect. Glad you’re doing better as well. ♥️
I feel the same. I wouldn't call it weird but it seems entirely strange. Some have speculated it may have to do with family dysfunction (as mentioned by her biological father) and other more personal issues.

Any brain disease that can involve suicidal thoughts (depression, bipolar, schizophrenia) should be regarded as a potentially-terminal illness...surviving depression is brutal and takes a tremendous amount of courage every day...this brain disease convinces people that they are not loved, that they are alone and that their suffering will lever end...this is a national epidemic that is not getting the research support and attention it needs due to ongoing stigma around suicide...love and admiration to her parents for honoring her legacy
I'm so glad to read about someone that acknowledges mental illness for what it is and does NOT blame her poor mom and upbringing.
Well said
Sometimes it is not a brain disease. Sometimes it is real. There are people who are unloved and not cared about in this world. I'm one of them.

*Quite touching interview. I appreciate that Rachel didn't hold back her tears and that they were not edited out, etc. Those are genuine tears. This story has gripped me like for no other public figure...*
When Whitney Houston died and experienced the same emotions. I just ask, how many more of these tragic and painful experiences must we live through? I call out to Jesus even now.
@@pocahontasreese1423 Same
I agree. It had the exact same effect on me as well.
I pray I never know this type of loss but, I appreciate her parents giving her a voice.
Perhaps the mom should have spoken years ago. Why hide such a deadly illness? When people have cancer, they don't usually hide it.
@@pocahontasreese1423 The mom should have spoken to WHOM years ago? NOT to the public. A depressed person doesn't want to be outed publicly by their parent...or ANYONE else that they have confided in. And THEY DID try to get her help when she attempted suicide previously.
@@sharon4951 If bringing the problem to the light will save a life, I advocate for the revelation. What are we doing now? We are asking people who stuggle to get help. Perhaps stepping out of the eye of the public (pretending to be well ) and doing whatever it takes to deal with the root causes of the depression would have given us a different ending. If indeed Cheslie jumped to her death (which I don't believe) we have to step up our game. The Church has a greater responsibility to care for Christians. This piece of the puzzle must be placed properly. I am thinking about the next Cheslie. Bring the issue out of the dark. The light will play a huge part in the healing process.
Her mom is hiding something. Ur child doesn't just text u that (how convenient it was a text,) u don't see any prior signs, or anything & she supposedly leave a S-note, that merely says..."I leave everything to my mother?"

Such a sad story. I feel so bad for her and her family, that her life was cut short like that. But as someone who struggles with depression, I understand the feeling of wanting to end it all. Hopefully the people that love her can find some peace in knowing she’s not suffering anymore.
Do you have support
Yes please do your best to get some support. Don't keep your struggles to yourself.
I’m so sorry you struggle, I do as well. I understand you. For me, it’s not that I think “ I want life to end “, it’s more “ how do I keep living life like this?”. I have beautiful people in my life, I have my precious dogs… I can’t leave them. Let’s hold on together. You’re not alone. I don’t know you, but I love you and I understand you. 💜
It is sad. I learned about depression in middle school. I know it can effect friends and family after someone dies. Therapy, church, and movies help me deal with depression. Comedy and faith base movies.
I read a comment from a story on RUclips a while back wherein a person suffering from depression and having suicidal ideation realized they would not actually stop their pain by committing suicide but instead they would be transferring their pain to their loved ones; the person noted this realization kept them from taking their own life. I hope you think about the people that love you so much that it will shatter their world if something like that ever happen. I hope you’ll continue seeking support from your loved ones, and mental health provider.
She basically had everything! Beauty, brains and seems nice so it’s hard to understand the depth of despair this women struggled with. Depression is such a hopeless and insidious disease 😫🤦🏾♀️ joy is the greatest gift we can have.

Be strong, remember Jesus' own words, "I will never leave nor forsake you". Hang in there, Jesus loves you.
Just goes to show just because someone is beautiful, has a great career, accolades,
accomplishments, lots of friends, etc and "appears" happy or "to have it all"
doesn't mean that they do, or that they don't have their bad days like the rest of us.
Depression is that enemy, that demon trying to tear all of us as God's children down.
I've been through it, suffered anxiety during my teenage years.
But now I'm 33, not even close to half of the thing Cheslie accomplished,
but one thing I always tell myself is this life is temporary, it's an illusion......
getting money, success, a spouse, this and that is all created by the world,
which puts pressure on all of us to have by a certain age, etc.
Our happiness shouldn't come from things, but rather just who we are
and GOD.
God is the centre of it all
Amen ❤️❤️

As a person who's battling depression and has attempted suicide when I was in my 20's I can honestly say that it is a constant fight, that others will disregard. Call you crazy. I'm doing so much better now, I no longer wish to take my life, but sometimes I still find myself alone in

No. You’re not crazy. It’s a brain disease. I suffer from it too. Sometimes I just sleep for weeks
It truly is. If it weren't for Jesus Christ, who knows I may very well have went through with it in my own life. He is the answer. Without Him its so much harder

I don’t believe these two …
I was researching what the first husband said ….and it looks like the mother was too hard in her !
Something is not right about this.
Listen. I struggle and my family has no clue. No one knows. They think im just a lil down. But boyyyyy oh boyyy the things that run through my mind. I get so close. I fear one day i may slip too.
Stand strong, you're loved !!
Keep fighting. And if you need help in the form of counseling or medicine please don't be ashamed to take it.
Know this - you’re loved and treasured. Please don’t give up hope. There’s light at the end of the tunnel
I pray the dark clouds will be removed and happiness will take over your life. Stay strong! You got this. Yes, life throws curve balls, we all fall short, but just know, it will get better. Talk to your doctor about how you feel, ALSO, talk to someone you trust (family, friend). Keep positive words and energy around you. You're worth the effort it takes to get stronger and better 💪💖
Don't be afraid to seek aid in the form of medication. It may not be a cure but it will offer you an alternative to the darkness.
I literally cried for cheslie. As someone who's struggled with major depression most of my life I understand her pain. She just wanted relief. She was tired. She looked at her past and saw no end in sight, no escape from it in her future.

Sad that you and so many more consider "having it all" as looks career and money.
She like most of hollyweird had temporary things that fade and don't offer joy, peace, love etc
I don’t like seeing how mom seem so strong headed and the father is still bothered, it’s something unusual
NeoMoses. This interview took place three months after Cheslie’s death. The father is still in shock and grieving the loss of his daughter and how she died. It will be years before he’ll come to terms with that.
No one grieves in the same way, her mother may appear strong and stoic, but in private she’s grieving very much I’m sure. There’s no such thing as grieving the ‘right way’. Everyone grieves in their own way and no matter how long it takes, it is OK.
P.S. My father passed away suddenly many years ago, I was unable to cry and didn’t cry until eleven months later. That’s when I began my grieving journey.
@@Lauren-j468 thank you for replying to my comment, I understand the frustration and sadness I lost my dad last year in December.

The truth is the mom have something to do with her death
She was such a beautiful young lady and was always so full of energy. You just never know what people are dealing with. My thoughts and prayers are with her parents and everyone who loves and cared for her.💙
Bless her family. Depression is like an acting job. You go to work, you smile, gripe, joke, work. Under that mask is another story. I hid it from my friends and my family because I I grew up in a time where you didn’t admit to not wanting to get out of bed, to shower, eat, go to work, talk to anyone. Her mother speaks true. It’s a battle.
There's nothing a suicidal person wants to hear more than the validation that they fought as hard as they could for as long as they did. It is not without horrific agony that suicidal people choose to leave their family. It's almost always the reason they hang on as long as they do, sometimes the only reason. And it would be endlessly comforting to anyone who could hear their family members still be able to smile when they talk about them, and to appreciate how hard they tried to give them all the years they had in them.
Treat others with kindness...you never know what they are going through, or what could become their breaking point. Have a blessed day everyone!
As someone who struggles with depression daily, I am wrecked by this. I pray her precious soul is at rest now. Her mother is my hero. Her strength is beyond amazing. ❤
Do you know Jesus? I am wondering how much more Christians can help those who struggle with depression. This is a wicked and cruel world. It is difficult to endure so much pain alone. She should have alerted more than just a few family members. Her soul is not at rest if she took her own life. If her mom really thinks this is the case, as a Christian, she should be mourning the bad decision that Cheslie chose to take her own life. It almost seems like the mom is at peace with the choice. Life is precious and only God must take it. Whether it is a newborn, elderly, or any other created being, we are not authorized to take life that God has given. Living in Darkness will keep you bound. Shed light on the problem and face it head on. There were so many that could have helped Cheslie. There are many that can help you too, Meca Hunter.
@@pocahontasreese1423 I use to believe the same their soul doesn’t rest.., I now do not believe that to be …depression is a disease (the person experiencing depression has no other way out) they take their life .., I believe she will make it to heaven it’s just going to take time!!

@@staycb.8623 Are you a Christian? The Bible teaches us that Jesus is the only way to heaven. Moses and Abraham looked forward to Jesus. Read Luke 16: 10-31, the Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar. Jesus speaks to us. Depression is just another illness and we must respond like we would others. You cannot take your life because you are unable to live according to your own will. Do you know of any disciples in the bible who took their own life? Only Judas, the evil one, the deceiver. Life is tough. We have to sustain ourselves and live by the word of God. Our Careers will not give us the eternal peace that we seek. If Cheslie was so mentally unstable, she never should have been in the eye of the public. Perhaps she should have focused on her mental health more. Her parents hid her illness from the public. This was wrong. It could have been much worse. Cheslie could have taken more lives. She could have jumped and injured innocent bystanders. I pray for her mom because I know hindsight is always better. If given another opportunity, I think the family would have taken a different approach and helped Cheslie. Mentally ill people must be cared for in a different manner. We should never hide this dark secret.

@@fromhopelesstovictorious275 Totally agree. My Spirit said the same. Not only does she sound like a narcissist, she look like one too! She come across to me like the witch in the story of Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs that constantly looked in the mirror & repeated "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?
Furthermore; the mother said that she knew Cheslie was battling depression so if she knew, why is it that she never speaks on how she encourage and assist her daughter to see a medical Professional so that Cheslie could be properly diagnosis & treated with "Anti -depression medication. ??????

@@fromhopelesstovictorious275 It’s as if she’s trying to absolve herself of any wrongdoing.
Why would her mother emphasize that Chelsie thought she was a "perfect mother "? Why make it about herself?
Good question.
I don’t think she’s making about herself. I think she was asked what the last message was and it was her daughter telling her that she did everything right. I think it’s because when a loved one commit suicide the family members and friends blame themselves. But that provided her with closure, that would release her from any guilt.
I agree. Something just feels off about her. Even if my daughter had sent me a text telling me I did everything right I would 1) go visit my child asap and if they didn't live close I would call for a wellness check to be done, especially if I knew she was suffering from depression & had tried killing herself before.
2) If I was too late I would still blame myself despite her message and I would be devastated.
I do have a daughter who suffers & has tried killing herself before. Which is why I always show up if her messages seem off & I would never be able to forgive myself if anything ever happened to her. Maybe she is just a stronger woman than I am.

@MadgeMackles - yes, it can be hard for people who don't suffer from depression to understand what would lead a person to take their own life, but I've been depressed and it's such a heavy feeling, and even though Cheslie was able to get out of bed and work, and go about her life, there are those who struggles for days and weeks just to leave the house because they are so depressed, and I think that it's those moments where an individual might reason "what's the point of this if I'm going to be living with this pain every day?' For some people therapy and medication can work, but for others who can't seem to find a way out of the darkness in their minds, suicide seems like the only way to resolve the situation.
you see nothing but darkness. you want to see light again… and a lot of people believe we see the light when we die. best way i can describe it
Beautiful interview. This person that interviewed her knew her from Xtra and was obviously grieving for her friend. May God wrap His arms around you all and surround you with peace. Cheslie's heart was so big.🌾💗

A lot of the mental disorders comes in a toxic raising family relationship and narcissism.
So very true!
Her mom is so sus, you can tell she is a narcissist. I don't get how anyone easel doesn't see it. That girl was under a lottttt of pressure. The pressure of perfection which was a standard her mom put onto her. Also it is so bizarre to make your suicide public by posting a picture of yourself on insta. Like I sympathize with her depression but I do not sympathize w that model for trauma dumping on however thousands of insta followers she had. An attention thing. Just like her mother. Do we not see the similarities now? That mom without a doubt contributed to this. Also every person who puts their death like her or others NEEDS to be deplatformed. Her pic is still up?? Why. This is going to give young impressionable girls a really bad idea. Like really bad.
Her mom sort of reminds me of JonBenet Ramsay’s mother. I fear if JonBenet had lived, she would have had many of these same issues.

@@fatgirlmagic4703 @Fat Girl Magic Although your thoughts are understandable you can't watch a grown adult 24/7. It is obvious Cheslie had a support system around her led by her mother and a therapist. However, when a sufferer of mental illness makes up their mind carry out the act of self-deletion, there is very little others can do. In other interviews, the mother said Cheslie's final text was sent when she knew her mother was in an exercise class and not close to her phone.
Such is the savageness of this disease.
@@fatgirlmagic4703 This!
She was people pleasing!
@@fatgirlmagic4703 Right.
I'm glad she told that to her mother before she left this earth.
It has been 3 months since she passed and I am amazed how strong her mom is, how she is coping with this loss and giving comfort to others who grief with her
Bc her mom is a narcissist
I’m not buying it! I dont trust her mom!
A Hard Fight it is, Indeed a fight that is a beast. I understand as I fight I fight I fight.💛
Keep fighting, stay strong, ask God to give u the strength to fight!!
She seemed to have it all. Beauty, brains, full of life etc. Yet satan is a thief and made her feel sad. I've been there before. Trust in Jesus Christ and he will get you through the storm.
Two years ago, My Sister lost one of her daughter who had been sick for à long time she was 19. My Sister is still truggling to accept it 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Still such a heartbreaking tragedy. My heart will forever pour out to Cheslie's family.
I'm so happy that they got the sweet Rachel to do the interview!
Mom you did everything right and nothing wrong?
She just got tired of fighting. It must had been a living hell, trying not to let persons know how sad you were.
Something is weird....
Very…
Her life was so amazing though... I just don’t get it!!
The mother is a lil TOO STRONG for me....Seems like she is enjoying being the person they all interview to talk about HER DAUGHTER'S depression 😐Wish she could tell her own story...Rip luv💕
This mother is a total narcissist. She shows no sadness or loss whatsoever. Very COLD and a trivializer.
You don’t know how many tears she cried before making the video. Social media does not and will never reveal the true essence, of a person, all we get are bits pieces through a narrow lenses that feed people desire to be judgmental.
Her public conduct about the loss of her daughter is unbelievable and unnatural.
@@hadiyahmg Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And please, excuse me, the death of a child is a total wreckage to normal parents.
Something is off with her.
@@afrikanheritage99 I’m thinking because it had been years of her knowing what Cheslie was going through and because she had attempted before.. she probably knew for a longtime, her daughter could attempt again and pass away that way.. I think how she feels & is expressing herself, is different to a parent that had no idea what their child was going through & this happening..
@@afrikanheritage99 And with YOU as well.
This story just don't sit right..I feel something else went on in her life.It goes to show you can still feel alone with so many people in your life.
I completely agree! I don’t think we got the whole story, but I hope she’s at rest.
This interview though short and brief was really and truly an eye opener on how we as human view death individually. Some of us need a whole lot of time to mourn and grieve and some of us could not of bear such sorrow agony pain and suffering and just wanna do the unthinkable ourselves. I admire April for holding on she must be one strong and very courageous WOMAN to endure such SORROW and find joy and comfort in times of despair. Cheslie made peace with her mother and didn't blame her for any mishaps nor misfortune that may or may not have occured . Cheslie adored and lived her life through the eyes of her beloved April/ mom/confidant she looked like her she talked like her she was just as small and as petite and just as pretty as her they honestly favor GREATLY I look back over my life and think about where GOD brought me from I think about how momma taught us children that she would not always be around and that there was a greater love out there greater than a mother father sister and a brother and and for many years I tried to copy and live through the eyes of my mother but once I found out about this greater love greater than a mother it was at that moment I stopped trying to live like mother and just be me that's all I can really be I'm just so very sorry Cheslie K ❤️
To be honest what keeps me, is my relationship with God. I don't want to sound cliche, but it's the word and constant prayer that keeps me in line. Now that I recognize it's mental, I say it out loud when I pray and then I speak positive words towards it. If I relayed on myself, things, or the people around me. I would have done it long time ago. No questions ask.
Didn't have a black father. I.mean list of mixed kids have this problem.
Plenty of us Black children with both Black parents have this problem too but maybe biracial children experience it at higher rates? I don't know.
Black woman with a blonde wig married to a white man ... she’s beautiful, I’m sure she would look beautiful if she embraced her blackness
1 Peter 5: 7 "Casting ALL of your care upon him, for he careth for you'' some may say how do I cast all my cares on him? What I learned to do was 1)Pray and repent to your heavenly father God for all your Sins, and let him know that the burden is just too great and I need your help.....Now! 2) Invite Jesus Christ into your heart and make him your Lord and Savior 3) Start reading your Bible and let God minister to your heart & soul 4) Surround yourself with like minded God Believers, then after a while depression starts to fade away because you're so caught up with Jesus Christ until your mind is constantly on HIM, the relationship with Jesus is REAL.....until you don't have anything to be depressed about. 5) Be Filled With The Holy Spirit, let Him lead you, comfort you, guide you, show you how to navigate through this world and through your day to day life. THAT SIMPLE..... Jesus did it for me and He'll do it for you. I had psychiatric doctors, therapist, group sessions, taking 7 different kinds of medications and I Knew that this is not working, I was getting worst until one day I met Jesus Christ The Son Of The Living God and He Healed me and now I have the Joy Of The Lord.
What was the root of her depression?
It’s unfortunate that depression is still so misunderstood. I had to become my own advocate. The medications that are pushed can actually make it far worse because many cause emotional blunting which makes you not feel anything. If you’re suicidal then you feel no guilt, no remorse, nothing. I think many suicide victims are in that state. If you feel nothing at all, and everything and everyone around looks gray with no color at all, there’s not much to live for.
Wow I never looked at it that way before! Thank you so very much for sharing this!

@Cece Mccainwow that's definitely alarming. Glad to know that you made the right decision for your good and are safe and healthy.
@Cece Mccain I suffered from chronic back and hip pain due to a car accident which caused some anxiety and depression. Work stress also contributed to the anxiety. I was put on Cymbalta to help the pain, and they hoped as an extra benefit it would help with anxiety and depression. It suppressed the pain, but also suppressed my emotions, feelings and anything else that would allow me to be emotionally present and care about my life, job, circumstances. I felt like I was floating around stagnant in a gray haze and life was just revolving around me passing me by. My life began to deteriorate. I quit cold Turkey when I realized the danger I was in as the emotional blunting was just getting worse and I was afraid I would commit suicide as I was beginning to think, “gosh I see why people give up.” When you don’t feel anything giving in to giving up begins to look like a viable option. Within 6 weeks I felt better, but the meds can cause permanent residual damage. The side effects were manageable and considering the trade off, I’d put up with them in a heartbeat. I was Overwhelmed with pain and emotions but at least I was feeling things again. In time things calmed down. I was even able to manage and resolve my back and hip injury. When you “feel”, you can do something about it, deal with it, etc. I’m 💯 better now. My energy, zest for life and creativity has returned. I read that 75% of people experience emotional blunting on Cymbalta and neither my doctor or chiropractor mentioned this very severe side effect. Glad you’re doing better as well. ♥️
The father seems more devastated than the mom.
Yeah, David was hurting...
I could feel her dads pain 💔 but people cope with things differently doesn’t mean the mother didn’t feel te intense grief
@@leftthatbehind6090 I'm thinking he possibly viewed her body as well? That must have been tough...
@@JungleYT omg heart braking 💔
@@leftthatbehind6090 Yeah, if that's indeed the case, since he was not a blood relative...
She deserves credit for long fight with depression . That just sent me
I will never be okay with this death ..it's just too weird ... May her soul rest 🏵️💮🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🌺🌺🌷😢😢💔💔
I agree!
I feel the same. I wouldn't call it weird but it seems entirely strange. Some have speculated it may have to do with family dysfunction (as mentioned by her biological father) and other more personal issues.
The masks that people wear is frightening!! The smile and laughter yet hurting bad enough to end it all. This is disheartening
