<p>Rosie O’Donnell </a>— who recently lost her ex-wife Michelle Rounds</a> in September — admitted her death was “still very new and still very raw.”</a></p> <p>O’Donnell appeared on The Howard Stern Show Monday morning where she gave one of her most revealing interviews yet — detailing her history of sexual abuse as a child and her long battle with depression which led to suicidal thoughts.</p> <p>“I have major depressive disorder — luckily I’m medicated,” O’Donnell told the Shock Jock.</p> <p>The 55-year-old revealed she was on the drug Effixer to deal with her depression.</p> <p>“Effixer…it’s a very hard one to get off and I tried to get off it once and I will never do it again.” O’Donnell admitted. “Within a week-and-a-half, I was in the bed crying, couldn’t get up. And I called the doctor because I was trailing down…you know you can’t just go off.”</p> <p>O’Donnell told Stern her depression really hit when the tragic shooting of Columbine happened which killed 12 high school students and a teacher.</p> <p>“I went on right after Columbine, the last week of April 1999. I could not work, I couldn’t stop crying on live tv, it was like I couldn’t find the reason,” O’Donnell revealed.</p> <p>“So the doctor said, ‘you must go on medication.’ So I went on Prozac — I was on it for about four years and then I had what’s called the Prozac poop where it sort of stops working so they switch you.”</p> <p>“So since about 2003, I’ve been on Effixer and it’s been really great for me. It’s not for everyone, but for me, I knew it had to participate in my mental health.”</p> <p>Stern asked O’Donnell if not having a mom growing up and her dad being “unqualified” to raise her had anything to do with her depression or if it was biological.</p> <p>“I think it’s both,” O’Donnell responded. “There’s a tremendous amount of people who suffer in the way that I do in my father’s family.</p> <p>I have aunts who try to kill themselves, one who did, some who had ECT — electric convulsive therapy, which Carrie Fisher had up until the end. If you’re at a place where nothing else has worked, that’s what they recommend. Thank god I’ve never gotten to that place.”</p> <p>“I couldn’t believe this was America, the America we were living in — where high school students are being shot at…you see bodies being dragged,” O’Donnell said.</p> <p>Stern asks the powerhouse if her depression ever led her to wanting to commit suicide.</p> <p>“I have suicide ideation — it means you think about it, you never make the plan necessarily of how you’re going to do it,” O’Donnell admitted. “</p> <p>There’s a great lyric in Hamilton, ‘sometime’s its easier to just swim down.’ You feel like there’s no chance you’re going to get to the surface again.</p> <p>And I’ve had that probably three times in my life — all as an adult… all over world events.”</p> <p>“Columbine was the first one, 9-11 was the second, Katrina was the third one and Mr. Donald Trump has been the fourth one.”</p> <p>O’Donnell then detailed her weight-loss struggle and the procedure she had that led to her 50 pound weight loss. The actress-turned-talk show host says she still struggles looking at herself in the mirror because of the sexual abuse she endured as a kid.</p> <p>“I can’t see the difference. I can in a photo. If I look in a photo, I go ‘oh wow.’ But I can’t like look in a mirror and go ‘oh I look different,’ like I have that sort of body dysmorphia… I don’t know, I can’t see it almost.”</p> <p>Stern tells her he can sense her sadness when she is talking about her body.</p> <p>“I think it’s just more of a disconnect; I think it’s what your body does to protect you if you’re a kid who’s sexually abused — which I was.</p> <p>You kind of disconnect from your body, you dissociate — you don’t pay attention to it. You don’t want to love it, because it’s kind of betrayed you in some way.</p> <p>“It was in therapy that I realized I felt scared by the attraction of these men and I wanted to make my body something that would not get them out of the little area where they sell candy to help me.”</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>The post Depression, Sex Abuse & Suicidal Thoughts: Rosie O’Donnell Tells All</a> appeared first on Star Magazine</a>.</p> Рекомендуем Depression, Sex Abuse & Suicidal Thoughts: Rosie O’Donnell Tells All посмотреть онлайн видео бесплатно и без регистрации!
