I have been in that dark place, I suffer from anxiety and depression and it is a struggle for me every day!!! After my husband passed away I didn’t want to live any more so I took sleeping pills and layed down on my bed. As I was laying down I thought about my children and knew I couldn’t go through with it. I jumped up and forced myself to throw up. I thank God for giving me another chance. 🙏
Peeeeee yuke!
Kevin you are a jerk
❤❤Bless you!!❤❤
Good on you for doing the right thing
how are you now?
This poor woman went through so much and was criticized, judged and just drug through the mud. Why people couldn’t just step back and let her heal and make her music I will never understand. Shame on everyone that made life so hard for her.
Amanda aka Puss in Boots Not like Dr.Drew didn’t capitalize on her problems for his own gain or anything🙄
REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL MINDY!! 🙏
I watched her last interview and from what I understand, by what she said, she wanted to get her life together so that she could have her sons back. I'm having a VERY hard time believing she committed suicide. However: I have been in the darkest of moments myself, I nearly died twice after attempting suicide (I thank God I wasn't successful). Depression is a place where there is NO light and NO hope. It's a terrible place to be. I honestly believed, at at the time that they (my children) would be better off without me. Now I realize the incredible pain, confusion and unending heartache they would have suffered.They're grown now but, still suffering the effects of what I couldn't control. Depression is an unimaginable pain to those who have never experienced it. I overcame my suicidal tendencies when my sister (who is now gone; cancer) became sooo angry with me and cried I'd do anything to live and you just want to die!. My heart broke; my life changed and I am still here. RIP, Mindy. I love you and wish someone would have been there to help you
samantha bagstad My name is Elaine Wright and I'm the one who posted this. I have no idea why it's showing under the name of a family member.
This lady asked Mindy point blank if she killed her boyfriend. If she really could see how distraught she was that day and really cared she would not have asked her that.
Poor lady. I had no idea who she was but I just saw her episode of Celebrity Ghost Stories, and there was a mention of her early passing at the end. She seemed like a beautiful soul.
The insensitivity of others at such a terribly painful moment 4 such a gifted,sensitive & beautiful woman who'd been thru such a lot is just a tragic loss 4 both sons,the bb will not remember his father either is saddening
donna-marie morgan I pray both her son's remember their mother and how much she did love them!
My heart hurts when I see/hear Mindy talk. She needed help and the public was burning her at the stake. Bless her heart. Even people with demons can LOVE their children. 💔 I wish she could have found the help she needed.
The use of "public " is a broad term. Media was largely responsible, even for swaying the beliefs of citizens. Why was the media focused on some presumed, yet undiagnosed mental illness, and the history of substance abuse? Neither of those issues necessarily contributed to Mindy's death, "ruled" a suicide. Grief is NOT mental illness. Grief is not substance abuse, and where are toxicology reports to verify that Mindy died with any drugs or alcohol in her system? Grief itself, can be profound enough to adversely affect a person's emotional well-being, and their optimism for their future. I cannot imagine what it might feel like to loose my career, my sense of character, my status in society, my beloved partner, and my treasured children, systematically. Where was the respect for Mindy the human being, as spectators unraveled Mindy the public figure? The same has been done to a doctor who tried to help her, regardless that Mindy allowed part of her struggles to be made public. Maybe she meant to be a positive influence on others who were struggling as she was. Somehow I doubt she expected her candidness to be so greatly ridiculed. I hope her sons will someday take pride in their Mother's strength in the face of so much tragedy. Bless you Mindy McCready, you were a gift who so briefly filled hearts with your talent.
Dr. Drew P
I'm totally agree with you, the are a lot of peoples who dosent respect others and dosen't have nothing good to said.
This was a sad tragic story that's for sure....
I lost my friend to suicide a few years ago.
His wife called my to reach out to him which I did.
I'd visit him 2-3 ,times per week and talked with him on the phone the rest of the time.
I thought I had gotten through to him.
One day I get a call that he did take his own life.
He did it in a way that shocked me.
Wife told me he took a long flex hose and put it on the exhaust and found it along with a mask he had attached to the other end.
I'm so glad I tried reaching out to him, if not the guilt would have stayed with me for the rest of my life.
If you have a friend or a loved one that you think is suicidal make sure to reach out to them even if they want to avoid you because it could save their life even though it didnt help my friend.
A lot of times they don't give us any indication that they are having a hard time mentally.
It was too much her soulmate death..then they accused her of murder...and taking her children away...they pushed her to tragedy...mercy and forgiveness may she had received forgiveness at the time of death
I agree with the Doctor !!!
I feel that Dr. Drew did the best he could. I commend Dr.Drews work and knowledge of this dangerous desease called addiction and mental illness. It can be over powering to some people and sometimes rehab is not enough or to keep them in jail.
But didn't Dr Drew try to give her rehab on a TV show ? Does that make sense that was the best way to handle it ?
Do you really think trying to get help and rehab on National TV was the best for her ? Do you think the media attention (partly fueled by the TV show) contributed to her issues ? Dr Drew said she should have gotten help without all the media attention -- I agree.
Chris Gar Celebrity rehab was an "experiment" i think to see if these celebrities could be helped. I personally felt it was stupid but Dr.Drew did a great job on his part. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ANONYMOUS...
@@chrisgar1722 you don't get real Rehab on that show that is just for show
Chris Gar His show is what brought her issues into the spotlight to begin with....the hypocrisy!
very confident from Dr. Drew that she would still be alive had she not left his " retreat "....Come on.....who makes that sort of statement ? how many people went to his " treatment " and killed themselves later ? several as I recall. His treatment was a reality show......that woman was a time bomb.
RIP beautiful angel
Vultures.
Her kids are in foster families?????????????????? Why are they not with family members????????????????????????????
Why did her boyfriend take his life,? I’m so sad Mindy to have so much sadness!! Why didn’t her family help w/ the kids,? Depression is serious, I’ve been there!! Some RX can make you even more suicidal. May Mindy and her boyfriend Rest with our Lord!! 🙏
Nobody knows
There is no answer really? So many distressing issues piled up higher and higher. How much can a person bare? She was desperate and at the same time expressing hope in her interview. Words and actual relief are two very different things. Even with the genuine help people offered it was just to much, to powerful. We need a touch from a Source far higher than humans at a time like this. Some people get that touch, some people don’t. Which ever way it goes we trust the Source knew best for that precious individual. It’s like some people heal from cancer and others die. Some things are beyond our human understanding. Rest In Peace dear precious lady.
Dr drew be PISSSSSED
Wouldn't you be?? Its complete typical media bs
He’s a very good actor.
Dr drew blamed her leaving early on the media..not his useless program. Mindy lost everything dear to her and dr drew filming her treatment...and others...so many musicians,actors.etc..have left his crap and died..relapsed..and found his treatment useless
Mindy had problems and needed to be hospitalized. It's sad that someone didn't at least commit her into a hospital. To feel like your trapped in a corner with no way out, but to take your own life is very very sad, but so real.
Can't believe been longtime since we lost Mindy McCready .. looking back.. she should have never put all that private stuff public... Maybe things would have been different for her... RIP MINDY... 🙏🙏
We saw her at Frontier Days here in Wyoming when she was new and it was a good concert. You never know about peoples private lives. It is a shame when prople give up.
The Police Department and The Media Sent her over the Edge.
too bad
RIP
Kudos, to Dr. Pinsky; agree, completely.
I hope that sheriff thinks about that every day
Drew knew her personally and you can hear his disdain for the press, which ironically he is apart of
It doesn't add up to me. I feel like somebody was owed a debt but I don't know why . My gut is usually right.
Terrible interview! How many times did Andrea say, "Turn a corner?!"
She was so Awesome,but famous or Not,We are ALL human
So very tragic
Yes, it is sad Mindy did not get the support she needed. The stupid Sheriff's dept. should be sued for their part in Mindy's death. Really ridiculous to try to point a finger at Mindy as a murder suspect of her beloved boyfriend. Makes you wonder just how stupid the Sheriff' can be? Probably done just for publicity & backdoor payoff money. They do things differently down there than other places. Really disgusting behavior.
I really agree with Dr. Drew on this. RIP Sweet Mindy 💔
Talking to Dr. Drew was a big mistake. He helps no one. He is worthless. She needed admitted somewhere. Family should have stepped in and admitted her on a emergency basis.
Amen! We have to stop the stigma!
Way to go Dr Drew. Insert Jodie Arias into the conversation just to speculate she may have been in a bad relationship only to go on and then say he doesn't know when of course he doesn't, because the victim can't defend himself & Drew is only going by what comes out of the horse's own mouth...the killer who nearly decapitated her victim so he can just leave her out of this.
And what a hypocrite to be outraged investigators were questioning Mindy's involvement in her husband's death while he's questioning what might have led Arias to do what she did because of her relationship w/the victim..
Methinks Drew needs to step back and think things through so he doesn't trip over his own words, not to mention, interrupting Andrea Canning...how rude.
Rest in Peace
A shame how we can’t help our legends .
Life is hard, her first priority should be her children. .. and she murdered the dog. Honestly. As a single mother myself...She has no excuse. ... life is hard.
Dr Drew was right! If you need help don't give a crap about what others think. It's your life.
Stigmatized by the media you should say.
This is what keeps Dr. Drew in Business. They are all crows!
I agree totally. “Dr.” Drew is complicit in hurting so many people to get money and fame.
It is sad when anyone commits suicide. But Mindy is one in 10 million. I mean, for every Mindy, there are 10million people out there that would love to trade places with her - be what she was, have what she had. I bet she's more successful than all of us on this platform put together. As sorry as I am for Mindy, I am baffled still: Why do celebrities make all these bad choices. It's nothing to do with their parents - let's not blame family all the time. What makes us stick as human beings is family - solid family. If we're too successful and busy to connect or create family, then when we need love, we won't find it in money or things. Let's face it, celebrity live very artificial lives. They are surrounded by managers, promoters, writers, reporters, fans, etc. These are people that sees you as a commodity. You're only as good as your next song. But to your family, you're Mindy - the girl they love from birth. At the height of fame, most celebrities don't have time for their family. At their lowest depth, they're often too ashamed to go 'home'. Fame, money, sex, things - don't make us happy. They're not food for the soul. What the soul need is connection with it's source. And many of us are disconnected from our source and hence we feel adrift, lost, depressed, unhappy. You may call it mental illness or whatever, but it is the presence of an absence - a hole that just can't be filled no matter how much you try.
Kay Vengeance addictions nor mental illnesses are "choices"! Mindy didn't choose this! And "don't blame the family" ...If you don't know her family life situation how about not blaming Mindy!
People are so judgmental. It is annoying.
I loved her voice and she should have had her kids . Cause I don't think this would have happened
I wish Dr. Drew would have called them out on their bullshit. Had the press just left her alone, she may have found her way through this. I stopped watching Dr. Drew when it all became about the money and t.v. face time. He's so damn smart and caring, but Hollywood came calling, and messed that up. Maybe he's different now. I stopped watching t.v. 4 years ago because actors, actresses, and reality television is too awful. Give me a book, and I'm a happy camper. I'm not religious, so I don't believe in heaven or hell. I do believe that she's in a better place though.
There's different techniques of recovery. Spiritual, group therapy, One on one therapy, or Work Therapy. And 12 steps. Or just cold turkey.
The very thing that drove her to perform is the very thing that killed her. Fame.
suicide affects others..
she was my facbook friend but she left her son.......... i so could not do it.............
Wait, by reading this article the flunkie Dr. Drew is blaming me for her suicide? No bro. I have to do crap at work every day that is stigmatized by society but I do it because I give not one f about what others think. I need to eat. She was so vain she decided she was too good to do what was needed to save her life. Thats 100% vanity, and choosing vanity over survival is a choice, and a bad choice. It was her choice, Dr. Flunkie. We outside million dollar superstars choose to avoid vanity and stigma every day, cause we dont care about social media. If we did care we would be homeless or dead.
you really dont know the familys life
And neither do you.
Dr. Drew is concerned about his reputation. The AA, 12 step program of total abstinence from alcohol which Dr. Drew promotes has a very low long term success rate. A focus on harm reduction is much more successful. Research it.
why do people say "committed suicide"?... Just say "they killed themselves".
Her boyfriends case is still open in 2023, it has not been ruled a suicide.
dr drew and ass
Drew Pinsky is a real life life Hannibal Lecter, as Lecter could convince a cellmate to hang themselves. If a celebrity was unsure of themselves and emotionally unstable, Drew Pinsky had an innate skill in nudging them over the cliff.
4thandinches He had nothing to do with this. Mindy was needing someone to care enough to be there for herband if there'd been less judgements and more compassion shown towards her she'd be alive with us where she should be today!
Julie Harrison He’s the one that brought her issues into the public spotlight by exploiting her on “ celebrity rehab “ then he says the public scrutiny is what killed her? The hypocrisy!!!!!
