Actually....happy people ARE depressing......it's their distance from reality that annoys me......in this life, if you aren't depressed, then you are either deluded or stupid.....or both.....

Watch out for the people who have big fake smiles plastered on their faces all the time.

Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

~ from the song Smiling Faces Sometimes

Rosie stated way back on her old show that she suffered from depression. Good
that she's talking about it . Hopefully others who suffer from depression will get some useful information from the show.

Clinical depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain-by saying one can make ones self become depressed then you are saying that one can make themselves become undepressed. Speaking as someone who has battled depression for over 16 years, I only wish it was that easy.
Yeah, Rosie spouts off about shit that doesn't really concern her, but I don't think that she caused or deserved depression-it's not really a fun thing

By no means was i trying to imply that she deserves to be depressed. I too have been treated for depression in the past. I started out with a prescription, which really helped, but was also shown excercises in positive thinking which were a great addition to the medication. I do know that thinking negative can affect how you feel. Did negativity cause her depression...Probably not. But I doubt it helps either.

How pathetic, now she's mentioning Columbine as reason for her depression?

Maybe she realized what a loud mouth obnoxious ass she is and is suddenly wanting sympathy. So go the "depression" route other celebuturds are using.

Rosie reminds me of that "other" Rosie...Roseanne Barr. Both big, both loud mouthed and both with serious issues.

I really don't like being rude but FOAD Rosie... you are pathologically PC, and rude, crude, and socially unacceptable. And this phrase is directly from my Schizophrenic nephew, who while being very ill and crazy, is able to ID other very ill and crazy peeps, if you know his jargon. She is one of them. She knows all, sees all, and she is totally full of crap...
