I suffer severely from depression. It's so isolating and lonely. Worse than that the stigma and judgement from others. I appreciate her sharing. People...1 in 3 have some sort of depression. Stop the stigma!
Me too. Been struggling with treatment resistant depression since the 3rd grade. I’m 30 years old now and this illness continues to destroy my life. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I often think how nice it would be to go to sleep one night and never wake up. I’m becoming devoid of any and all hope of ever recovering from this insidious illness.
Depression is demonic torment. Until you discover why the demons have a legal right to torment you, you will never get free of them. Medication does not expel demons.
@@AB-jb9so Ask God to help you, even the most impossible situation is possible with Him. Jesus said come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
@@hopegrace993 Amen. Jesus gives peace.
I suffer depression as well BUT, I was not physically abused. Mentally yes by the ppl that I thought cared and loved me, but as i grew older, their TRUE COLORS showed and that's 1 of the many downfalls of my depression.
“I had to parent myself.” I felt that. Depression is a thing where everyday you are still alive you have survived. RIP Naomi.
I offer my deepest condolences to the Judd family concerning this heartbreaking loss.
She was a light...of kindness, understanding and acceptance. I loved her and am deeply saddened by her death. 🌈
The ending when she says, “I’m still here” 😢😢😢😢
Was diagnosed with major to moderate depression in 2010.
It's not easy.
You will be missed, Naomi!
Blessings for you.
I have it too. It's hell. I had 26 ECT treatments at UCLA. None of the meds were working. I was like a zombie trapped in my body for a year and you don't know when the depression will lift. The ECT was my last resort. I did ketamine and TMS. Did not help me, but may help others. It's sort of a long torture. I'm one of the lucky ones meaning I have access to treatments. Millions of people on the planet who have depression don't even have access to good treatment. I'm sure we don't have the numbers of people who resort to suicide, but I understand why they do it. Naomi's very brave. So much respect for her.
It's sad, but if you look at Naomi's eyes during this interview you can see just how vacant & lost she looks. Thousand-yare stare is what this is called. Rest in Peace, Naomi!
Yeah I noticed that also
Bullshit
"Make your mess your message." Pure, dead, brilliant!
Who came here to pay their condolences to an icon in Country music? Rest in peace Naomi I know you excepted Jesus as your Savior many years ago now you are happy and at peace for eternity! So very sad you were to be inducted in the CMHOF tomorrow May 1st this should have happened along time ago!
Same diagnosis here. Also have ME/CFS and chronic pain. I could not tolerate the drugs used to treat my depression. after 9 rounds of interferon therapy for resistant hcv and dealing with that drug induced depression, I chose to stop the meds for depression.
Most of those meds made me feel worse not only in body but also in my mind. It is a daily battle.
How do I survive it? Truth. Awareness of who I really am. Allowing myself to be who I really am, good bad happy or sad, I am allowed. I am allowed to feel what I really feel. I live by conscious choices.
Living by a schedule and daily routine of healthy practices. Simple for others. My major focus... get out of bed, wash my body, dress myself as though I am leaving the house, feed myself, do something positive, distracting, or that otherwise keeps me busy.
So far, no meds ( with THC the only exception) 15 years.
@Victoria Bachlotte - Hey, if weed is what you need to keep going… do it. Just beware that regular usage can cause schizophrenic symptoms in some people. However, if it helps you to keep yourself in a corporeal body… you do it!!! Keep the faith, friend!
RIP, Naomi. You were so loved and you will be dearly missed. My only hope is that you’re free from pain. You were one of the greats.
Bless you Naomi, you're one of my idols. I'm going through severe clinical depression, panic and anxiety too,so I can understand exactly what your going through. The sexual abuse was part of the reason I'm going through it.
You're such an insperation you really are. I love you Naomi xx 💞
Bless her heart. I had no idea what she was battling. She is still a pretty lady inside and out. I'll continue to pray for her and I'm glad she is recovering one step at a time.
Sounds like she just couldn’t take it anymore today. Thanks for the great music Naomi!💞💜
Me too!
I am a survivor....from the trauma that happened l have episodes of depression.
What helped was healing from the trauma.
It was very difficult to talk about it....it takes time ,trust and courage
Athena's has been a God sent! and it will be a life time journey .I am forever grateful for the help,my family and friends.
Like a bird on a branch it is not the branch under her feet that gives her strength it is her own wings.!!!
Please do not give in do not give up.
Rest in peace Mom Naomi....
l will miss you and continue to sing your songs ❤
Love CAN Build a Bridge!!!
I love her. I am so glad she is out of pain now and having fun w her friends in heaven. God bless her family.
She said she told her story and wants us to share ours. But when your family wants you to push the very bad thing that happened to you under the rug and you do for years, you're anxiety and depression grows and grows. My sister destroyed my life and they chose to protect her to my expense. I also self parented. I didn't get what I needed and it breaks my heart.
Sorry to hear this hope things get better!
Leslie Ann Taylor-Bjarnson
Your story sounds a lot like mine.
The one bit of advice I can give you is, acceptance.
If you accept that the people who hurt you just can't be any different than what they are, you stop asking yourself, why did it happen.
Ending the "why" question, gives peace.
May God bless you. You’re a strong strong person. You had to have been to survive. I know you hurt, I did. I know you felt alone. I did.
I don’t know where you stand with God, but I know that God stands with you.
People often can’t understand why I never got mad or blamed God or even asked Him why. I will tell you that every pain I felt, God felt it. For every tear I cried, God cried. For every time I hid in my special hiding places, Jesus was there holding my hand. For every painful event that I tucked inside my heart, God wrote it upon His.
Through all the horrors that I had to bear, God’s invisible embrace held me up and day by day, step by step I became stronger.
I pray that you find the happiness and peace that I know you searched for as a child. It is yours to have.
I consider myself extremely blessed. When my abuse began, I already knew my Lord and Savior. I grew up in the mountains and I had lots of woods, fields, and creeks to explore with my wonderful brothers, but I liked spending time alone, but my tormentors were always very near, so I had to be extremely careful to never let them know of my whereabouts. I had a number of secret places that I could safely hide from them and I did all the time.
My grandpa had planted a huge field of poppies that ran parallel to our back yard and during the summers I would wander into the field. I was so young and small that the poppies were up to my shoulders. They made for a perfect place to go talk with God and to hide. One August day I was hurt very bad. I remember vividly all of my emotions and pain. I was sobbing and my heart was heavier than it had ever been. I made my way into the field and screamed out to God. I screamed my prayers. I screamed for Him to help me. “Jesus,” I cried, “ I need you. I love you and I know you love me. Please ,Lord, please speak to me. I believe you Jesus when you say you will never leave me. Please don’t hate me. They told me you didn’t love me and that I was going to Hell, but I don’t believe that. That is not the God that I know. Please, please Jesus. ...And, it happened. It all happened in a second, everything at once. The feeling of an invisible embrace lifting me...an overwhelming sense of warmth flooded my body, a calmness and overwhelming peace filled me from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. The August sun no longer burned down on me and as I lay on my back with hot tears pooling in my ears, looking up through the red poppies, I was admiring how they were slightly swaying in unison and they had a watercolor appearance that burst out and up against the most unusual color of blue that I had ever seen. But far grander than all of these things was the voice that started in the eastern sky and like thunder, rolled across that field of poppies.It was a magnificent huge baritone voice, but it didn’t frighten me, not at all. In fact, I had no fear whatsoever. All was so comforting, no heartbreak, no fear, no pain. Then that huge voice seemed to engulf me, but yet it was as a soft whisper. “STOP CRYING CHILD. I AM WITH YOU. LISTEN TO NO MAN. LISTEN ONLY TO ME AND I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU.”
And, so when Jesus finally sent me on my way, I didn’t understand everything, but all unfolded across the years. The Lord walked with me; several times keeping me from death.
From those attacks I became stronger and stronger and stronger and I feel very content with all the good things that have come my way and I’m not speaking of just material things. I have a beautiful family and friends, but it took me 29 years and an elderly priest to really help me find my ahh-ha moment. He was the first that I confided to. In the nearly two hours that we spoke, he had an answer for every question, but I had one question to which I could never find the answer. I wanted to know why God came to me the way He did that August day in the field. Without missing a beat he said, “God knew that you were going to experience horrible things and He didn’t want you to think He didn’t care. He didn’t want to lose you. He knew that you were going to suffer and like many do, you could blame Him and never trust Him again. So, He had to do something extraordinarily remarkable to prove that He was real, that He did hear you and that He does love. He wanted you to never doubt that He was your Lord and Savior and that’s why He brought that time in the field to be. And, you never forgot Him, never stopped trusting or praying. You are a stronger person today because of your past and God knows that you still have trials to come and because of what you have come through, you are more able than ever to face anything that comes your way.”
So you are strong and you are loved.
I have suicidal depression and I never thought anybody else did I know other people on depression but to learn that Naomi suffered from suicidal depression and never knew if she was going to take her own life that day it's really really draining and I feel really sad
You are far from alone. I also have major depressive disorder. I too have felt like committing suicide. I learned it through therapy that I did not want my life to end. I wanted to the way that I was feeling to end. The daily battle is there it's real! The daily struggle to get up take care of my body dress myself appropriate to the weather and get out of the house and do something productive some days the simple things are beyond my ability. I know tomorrow that I will get back up and I will try again! Thank you for sharing something so personal and no you're not alone!
When you know better you do better, so true!!
By Dr. Maya Angelo...
Awh! I feel so sorry for her. I grew up listening to their music. It's hard to hear her going thru that and not having a good relationship with Whyonna. I'm hoping they can get on better terms. I'm praying for them all! :) I'm happy she's making a recovery!
Don’t be “sorry” for anyone. That’s not a nice way of wording the sentiment of compassion.
Say you “feel for them”
@@horaciocapanelli-soto4710 I agree. I usually say I fell empathy or compassion for someone. Sometimes I say I feel sad also when I do.
We are all spiritual beings living the human experience and no one is perfect or ever will be on this earth. Be kind to one another and yourself, because you never know what others are going through. Naomi's statement that "if we knew better we'd do better" can be applied to us all. Rest in peace beautiful Naomi and thank you for your gift of music and beautuful smile. We'll see you on the other side.
I was one of The Judds' biggest fans back in the day. I always thought Wy didn't need her mom with her. Wy is an amazing talent (we miss your music lady). What is the point of leaving rude comments about Naomi. I never liked her either but she is suffering. It doesn't really matter if her face is from surgeries or meds she is in pain. She is annoying yes, but let her be. More music WYYY
Why cant ppl be more understanding like u? Nobody is ever liked by everyone. Especially naomi. U either love her or hate her, there is no in between. But she is suffering but still trying to help others by spreading her messege. I personally have gone through similar issues, and it is hell
Wow so many hateful fucking ppl here. A woman opens up about her story and u all bash her. U people are absolutely sickening. I actually did read the book and it is her best yet. Her raw emotion is do powerful and i can relate to her journey. Good for her for trying to spread the messege to help others.
Also for those dim witted individuals saying she comes up with a new rwpe story every few yrs, its the same story. Not different. She is spreafing a messege.
Don’t swear
RIP beautiful lady,no more pain momma…. 💚
I like that"Make your mess your message!"
What wonderful life lessons she left behind..I love how she was courageous enough to speak out about something that gets so stigmatized in our culture. She checked out
What a glowing and beautiful spirit she had‼ Rest In Paradise❣❣🙏🏽😞🫶
Fly high baby doll. You’re loved. ❤
Thank you Darlene...I thought wow...she has done this several times before....so glad you replied, because I wouldn't ever want to hurt someone who is truly suffering from either a physical or mental health problem...the thing that lead me to Google her was her eyes and lips are shaped different....or is that just me.?..hope you and your loved ones are safe from the fires....
I had severe depression too. I was cured by antibiotics meant for a sinus infection. It was horrendous and lasted for ten years.
I am battling severe depression also. But it started from an exposure to mold. Tried everything, but I 'm starting to feel a little better since taking antibiotics for a tooth infection. I'm also doing garlic sinus rinses, eating raw garlic and taking probiotics. Just curious, we're you exposed to mold also?
What were the antibiotics? I have major depressive disorder.
@@acervantes998 If the antibiotics are improving your mood then you might be looking at the cure. The first antidepressant was an antibiotic meant to treat tuberculosis patients. I had no exposure to mold, but avoided five foods intially that were causing severe depression. One of them, sunflower seeds, also gave me severe, unlocalized backaches. The antibiotics cured this and I can eat whatever I want now.
@@jac0320 I don't remember. The doc had to give me three courses for the sinus infection. They were not fluoroquinolones, that's for sure. It probably was minocycline. Amoxicillin never cured depression for me. Minocycline is known to cure depression in some treatment-resisitant cases.
It's kinda interesting that her face looks like Ashley's when it swole up! What in the world?
Facial fillers, botched cosmetic surgery and pills.
@@KJ-xc6qsIf you'd watch the video she said the swelling is from medication. Moron
@@KJ-xc6qs you’re both gross, go buy some national enquirer magazines and enjoy your celebrity gossip somewhere else
I know her battle and its devastating. God bless her. I hope she has a quick recovery. I can identify with the "self parenting" as a young child. It's a horrible realization that you are on your own mentally at a young age.
Bravo Naomi! Thank you for sharing your story and being a light in the darkness. I have a similar condition and blog about it to help people. xoxoxo
I love that line, if I'd known better I would of done better...God Bless Naomi... I feel what she talks about...
just shows you that no matter how much money someone has it don't make them happy. it don't cover up the pain physical or mental. truly sad situation, I have a family member who suffered through molestation and family still to this day covers and protects the molester over the molested. the victim is asked to stay away from family functions so that the molester can be there. ugh makes me sick to my stomach. the only reason I don't get involved is because the victim asked me not too. she says when she's far enough in therapy to face the issue then that's when she'll take the stand. until then I stand by her 100%.
Rest In Peace, Naomi. ☹️😔
Why did she do this? She was 76. I never heard of the elderly wanting to end it.
RIP Naomi....you have finally found peace! 🙏
So tragic. Praying for the peace of her soul in Jesus
God Bless You Naomi...the mind is a powerful machine....praying for you find peace....
Not anymore. 😔 Damn. Just DAMN. I am so sad at her passing.
I so adore her and always felt an uplifting vibe from her. I never would have known from that gorgeous smile that she was battling anything negative inside. So heartbreaking. I cannot imagine at all what her daughters are going through. Praying for everyone.
Had no idea that Naomi and Wyona were on the outs I hope they worked through their problems unresolved issues are painful to lift with and guilt is even worse
Awww so sad, RIP ✝️ Naomi Judd
I'm suffering from anxiety and depresion due to car accident which left me with certain brain injury which symptoms are vertigo memory lost not whole but I'm very forgetful I don't know anything about depression due to sexual harrasment but I'm sure people who went through it won't ever became a person they suppose to be I'm very sorry to hear about Naomi experience as a child
Robin showed no shock or sympathy when she said her uncle molested her at three. She is one COLD woman.
STRAIGHT DEMONIC SOUL ..
So glad she found peace before she passed .RIP Naomi 🙏
Hope you have found the peace you crave and love you deserve.God bless
IM NOT BEING MEAN BUT U R NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS BAD THINGS HAPPEN. I STILL LOVE YOU LADY GOD BLESS YOU.
So...I'm sorry but whats the reason Ashley & Y's issues?
I know the pain of child sexual abuse. My abuse was by an extended family member. It began at three and was constant for the next 14 years!
I'm not making a comment regarding this video. Hun, I personally have experienced this. I am sorry that you did as well. Unfortunately, it is all too common. My healing came from a relationship with God (Jesus). I truly believe that He can put our pain in perspective and have us come out better than before. I am certainly not saying that the pain is all gone in this earthly realm. What I am saying is, that it won't cripple and destroy us. Opening yourself to spirituality is very strengthening and freeing. As your mind and spirit are strengthened, you will miraculously see things from a different perspective. You will no longer view yourself as that helpless victim of the past. You will feel God's powerful love, through the knowledge and wisdom that you will have gained. You will be able to look upon your circumstances from a higher vantage point. Lies from our abusers and the lies that we begin to tell ourselves, only helps to weaken us. Embracing the truth, no matter how painful it may be at first, allows for us to see things from all angles. Through God, we begin to feel empowered again. With our newfound strength, we may possibly see our abuser in a different light. Instead of fear or hatred, we may begin to see how sad and pathetic their internal life, really is
Prayers for you Delilah.
Naomi has decided to transition from the pain. We miss you Naomi. God bless you
Just heard.....
I'll miss you Naomi.😪 Rest well in Sweet +Peace. 🎉🙏🏿💐
She left us. We miss her. I grew up with her music.
I admire both of these two women. Robin and Naomi. I understand her hurt!!!!
Those drugs most likely killed her. Long term use of psychotropic drugs leads to major health issues and death. So very, very sad.
Tears. I will miss you lady.
God bless this lovely lady and her family, God gained an Angel
Bless her heart 🙏
People tell me to go talk to a psychologist, but it's too late ar my age 4 that. I've dealt w depression since I was 5. That's age I was when my mother passed away.
She seems really sweet and I am sorry for all the pain she went through. I wonder if she knows Jesus? Only He can heal our deepest soul wounds. Medications can alter the neurological milieu and can help people. But one must know Jesus. He can heal you of anxiety and depression. He has done it for me. I was extremely depressed to the point of having suicidal thoughts and very anxious for years. It is a process but He Jesus can heal you and give you a true peace. Will pray for you Naomi.
Me 2
I'm a 50 yr old man and I was sexually assaulted as a kid.
I blocked it out for years, I dissociated and went in a bubble.
I'll never understand how an adult could do that to a child......
She was a lovely lady...May God give her eternal peace...
For me they destroy each other,they had almost same childhood,sorry for that but be strong and move forward,cut those bad memories behind,they blaming each other for those bad times ,please stay away from the those memories that makes you bad ,forgive each other ,keep all good memories,we all love you ladies
So strange that this video has been coming up since early this week for me. RIP
It's shocking that she would end her life af 76.
But by the grace of God go I.
Depression can enter your being without warning, without cause, without an event. It sometimes just "happens."
Help her, Lord.
Amen
Winona Judd is a hero for putting up with Naomis shit,,,,Wy we love you girl ,
U are fucking sickening. For someone who hates her so much, u sure do spend a lot of time obsessing over her. U replied to every comment with something ignorant. U obviously dont know jack shit. Get. A life u pethetic twat
Psychiatric drug induced suicide has become an epidemic! No one is immune. So very sad for her daughters. May she be at peace.
If meds are doing this I believe I come off of them befor it kills me.
God bless you Naomi Judd!
😥😥😥😥
Damn. A lot of nasty-spirited individuals on this page.
I've never seen an antidepressant do that to someones face. Actually, her symptoms seem much more closely aligned with Lyme Disease (specifically, Lyme that has spread to the brain.) It's also possible that she just got some bad plastic surgery and is passing this all off as something it's not. Who knows?
She seems like a sad person. I realize fame and fortune isn't a cure-all but if I had her wealth I'd certainly be singing a different tune.
For what it's worth I wish her well.
So sad about what her uncle done to her, so horrific 😢
Ashley has bipolar and it showed the other day.
i just want to hug her
just tragic. it's not been revealed her true cause of death...but maybe now, at least, she's out of pain. her daughter Ashley is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. just gorgeous.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how she died but no one wants to utter the word suicide, sad indeed, I hope the Lord forgave her and may she rest in peace
May she RIP and no longer have to deal with those demons inside of her!!!
Are you surprised that she probably killed herself when she was close to 80?
Not to be rude... she did the talk show circuit a few decades ago, it was 1990 (Google) she had panic and hepatitis .. panic attacks were "cured" by Zoloft ..Zoloft being a antidepressant....wasn't there alot of controversy alot Zoloft since then...also...she is 70 now...yes, gained some weight. But...her hole facial structure has changed...the shape of her eyes is completely different and her lips being the most noticeable....maybe something more is up here....a physical disease or just plastic surgery gone wrong....maybe way too may fillers...some people just can't except aging...might be the case here.
Yes honey you've figured her out ,she gets a new disease every couple of years to do the tv circuit ,,,,she writes a book ,,,then she's healed then gets another disease,everyone in Nashville don't have anything to do with her,,,, she was not fucked by her uncle Charlie at 3 years old she makes this shit up ,,,
Naomi, this is the most authentic I've ever seen you and let me tell you. You've never been more beautiful! Thank you for your story.By telling your story, you did right by your girls and every other victim of childhood sexual abuse! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Wow if that's from medication maybe she needs to get off them!
I work in the med field, these r just a couple side effects of lithium. A very nasty drug to have to take
Unfortunately I'd say 95% of depression and anxiety medication have side effects of weight gain.
Psychiatric drugs are dangerous neurotoxins without exception and there cause serious mental, physical and neurological issues. If she has weaned off she would likely still be alive.
We loved Naomi. 🙏 🕊
R.I.P. NO MORE SUFFERING..,NO MORE PILLS
Such a lovely person.
God Bless You Naomi
Something happened with her and Wynonna that truly broke her. They had their stuff. Good and bad. But one decides how resilient or NOT that they want to be. Sole choice...not one thing or comment was the only reason.
I wonder if she tried Stanford University's accelerated intelligent neuromodulation therapy (SAINT). It is still in clinical trials, but many people participating in the trials have been cured of their treatment resistant depression.
Ms Judd had the procedure called ECT or electroshock. Learn about this practice at site ectjustice and articles on site Mad in America. Lawsuits taking place in the US and England around this practice. See YT videos also under ds electroshock. Increase risk for suicide after this procedure. No FDA testing for safety or effectiveness.
REST IN PEACE
this woman caused my palms to be tough as nails when I was young
RIP Naomi Judd 😢
And now Naomi is gone. Thanks for the music!!
I'm curious as to wht meds she was on! There r certain meds that make a person feel worse than before
I used to think Naomi was one of the most gorgeous women on earth, but the surgery? Just look at the cover of her first book. She was amazingly beautiful. She didn't need it, and it looks horrible. Yes, I know this video is about depression, but I'm distracted by the botched job. Sorry.
It was her choice...she did it.
She should try medical marijuana and CPT.... Im sure her psychiatrists haven't tried that, which is sad especially for Naomi.
Way better option. Psych drugs likely killed her like they kill so many.
Beautiful woman.
5 years later now she’s a little red headed angel singing for the lord ❤️
RIP
Naomi's full of it -
Read her book, she didn't speak to her OWN mother for years! LOL
Ashley, looks just like niomi
Yea, this is what they say about mine, treatment resistant. even if I could tolerate the meds.
The tragic suffering of Naomi should be proof that children should not be “sexually” groomed, by teachers, by Disney, by no one. Furthermore, Pedophilia should never be normalized, never.
Rest in peace, Naomi.
Depression is not a joke. It is hike.
