What an incredible woman is Marian Keyes! A fantastic, compassionate interviewer.❤️🇨🇦
This is one of the most accurate and poignant descriptions of severe depression and the fear and the anxiety that permeates it. Thank you Marian for speaking from your heart and also for your message of hope contained within this interview.
Marian Keyes is an inspiration to those who suffer in silence and everything she said in this interview is entirely relatable. I wish her joy and success for her journey in this life and her gift of communication and honesty is part of her life purpose. I have myself experienced the same journey and I am still here. keep writing as you have lightened my heart with your books . You have a great gift that helps more people than you will ever know. Sandra
What a beautiful lady, inside and out ❤
This is the first time I've heard someone speak of depression where it actually relates to what I'm experiencing. I've always felt that most people who mention they've been depressed have no idea what it is, are disingenuous or just felt a little down. Depression, truly is so serious and not something I can speak easily about to anyone, not even the loving people in my life.
Marian speaks wonderfully honestly and accurately. I relate to everything said here.
Thank you so much for this. Even this helps. Best wishes to all. Appreciatively, J.
♥♥♥♥
Much love to you for battling this awful illness xxxxx
Marian is such a lovely person and I'm so sad that she has gone through this terrible time.
Dear Marian, you are such a wonderful person and I am completely sure, that your openness and your writing about mental illness, especially depression, has helped and will help so many people!! It certainly has helped me and I love your sense of humor! Thank you!
Thank you Marian for your honesty and bravery. You are a mountain climber!
Marian is a beautiful and very brave Lady! She is so open and honest about her illness. Much respect from me to her.
I totally agree with the distraction thing. I went through a bout of really bad anxiety and panic attacks a few years ago and my Doctor gave me some tablets which where awful. So instead I popped a pair of wireless headphones on and listened to my favourite tv programmes/films whilst giving the house a spring clean and decorating. After a few weeks I felt like I could sleep and eat better and now I potter around the house listening to TED lectures, music, relaxation videos...anything that takes my fancy..I have an audio kindle on which i have just listened to one of marians books whilst out walking and an Mp3 player at my job. I dont listen now all day now of course. I hope you are feeling better now...the mind has to heal just like any other part of the body, it takes time xxx
What a lovely story. I’m so glad you’ve found something that works for you x
I love all my Irish family & I really think an Irish accent is the best voice to help you when your down.. 🇮🇪
Marian Keyes is an inspiration in her utterly genuine and selfless description of her battle with depression. So much of what she said rang through with me, who has also experienced the sheer desperation which Marian so vividly described. A note too for the interviewer Sinead Desmond who contributed to one of best interviews on mental health I have seen. I have so much warmth in my heart after watching that - life can be amazing at times.
Marian Keyes explains Depression/Anxiety better than anyone else.
I am where she was now. Two years in and it's the hardest battle I've ever fought.

Hi Carl
Have things got any better for you ?
Sending big love to Marian Keyes… And praying that some great loving force can lift the depression from her and all those who suffer. XO
Marian you are helping me through a very difficult time in my life.
What a lovely first class lady! Thank you Marian for your honesty and being so brave- You are helping more people than you know- Be well sweet lady!
Thank you so much for this interview i totally understand this. Please pray that this darkness lifts from me and i will see a brighter days ahead. 🙏🙏🙏
MK is my favorite author and this only makes me 💞 her more. Thank You
It was so lovely the way that the interviewer practically jumped on her to hug her at the end.
She is one of my favourite authors and so truly brave. Her books make me laugh and cry. Thank you for your honesty, a true lady.
I experienced a severe depression which (thank god) was alleviated by the right anti depressants. My heart goes out to Marian and those in the comments section who are still in pain, still struggling, BUT, like Marian says ‘it is a illness and WILL run its course.’ Please hold on, and know that so many have endured what you’re currently enduring and have gone on to feel normal and even happy again. If anyone wants to chat on here, please open up and I can lend a listening ear xxx
Thank you Marian x
What a lovely courageous lady. I hope her talk helos those who are suffering depression .
It is just so marvelous to see how well Marian is now. I wish this brave and "fabliss" woman all the very best that life has to give. She gives such joy to so many people. A wonderfully clever, witty and beautiful person.xx
I love marian and sinead. Two great women
So brave and so helpful when somebody says how you feel . Every word makes sense . Love to you Marion x
One of the biggest errors people tend to make on mental illness is they think it means you are mad. In reality it often just means you are really unhappy and out of sorts.
I agree 100%, an incredible beautiful lady........ And a worrior! She's helping countless off people with her story......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you sooooooo much.....!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to know what her therapist said to talk her down in her desperate moments. Marian, you are so strong and so FIERCE. Thank you for being here and for sharing your experiences and talents with the world. ❤️
Lovely person and amazing author. I enjoy your books and admire you courage. you are an inspiration. thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing Marian. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing Marian. God Love you.
Incredible lady, so much respect and admiration for her for talking so openly about her experience. Sending her all the love and light
Thank you Marion so very much for your honesty. I am sitting here crying because what happened to you was so sad and hard and was very similar to how I was years ago. For me my wonderful husband and several years of very good group psychotherapy has pulled me through and I now see things very differently. My husband still struggles but I adore him and will hold him together as much as I can. The thing that was AWFUL was insomnia which I have suffered with all my life. Meds help and I've slept now for nearly ten years on quetiapine but sometimes my helicopter head will run roughshod over any amount of meds - people say things like.. yes I didn't sleep well either last night. Insomnia is night after night of torture and with each day reality is altered with tiredness.
Thank you for this, I hope you know how much this helps xxx
Beautiful honesty thank you. So coherant and eloquent. The acute fear is a true hell. Ironically though it was the compassionate God who got me through and over the fear. Yes people need to be loved and minded...lets look out for each other❤❤❤❤
awesome :) very brave
A wonderful lovely lady, who i can relate to perfectly ,i realised a while ago that my depresion started in childhood ,i tried to end my life too,but what marian said about having a purpose to be here is how i feel now,you have to accept that sometimes depresion is a part of your life ,and it is exhausting,excepting is not giving in like she says you learn to accomadate it ,bless her i hope that was her lowest point and now she is feeling healed,very brave of her and helpful to me knowing someone else thought like i do.xxx
Marion, I could identify with every single word. You are not alone.
I have Fibromyalgia/M.E., and a lot of this sounds similar, especially the shower and water. Good luck everyone. ❤️
I remember reading 1-2 of her books which I was in stitches of laughter over. Marian wrote about her alcoholism. That would be the escape.
Her humour, and marriage is almost unique. Not a conformist.
Her brain is geared differently. Good for her!
Lovely lady
I've been there Marian it's dreadful
This happened to me once. I was in bed for 18mths. I remember watching old black and white movies and being terrified of the music
Mine started because of a relationship with a very controlling man and realising my mother was exactly the same.
Bless you Marian xxx
Emma hi
Is it ok to ask a few questions as I'm struggling and might leave a bit more.
Did you manage to get to a better place ? And how did you do that Emma ?
Also, how did you survive being in bed for 18 months, for general life things and food and bills and all of those things.
I'm asking as struggling.
Thanks so much
Emma
Thanks for writing back.
Yes you have been through a lot and yet it seems you have managed to find a way to live well.
Some terrible things happened and it wrecked my world and I totally collapsed.
I got a lot of people who gave me junkfood and told me it's ok not to be ok and there's loads of help out there. And people told me endless horror stories about themselves and others, I guess thinking this was helpful, but it terrified me. But beyond that there was very little anybody could offer.
I had one girl seemed to be offering to seriously help and she came and stayed but was gone again after five days. She tried but she had her own serious stuff to deal with and she couldn't help.
Another lady the wife of a friend I grew up with seemed to take it seriously and was very keen to help. Said she was going to stay as long as was needed to get me functional. . She arrived after taking the bus a few hours. With bottles of wine and pushed to go to the city for a night out. She just didn't get it how serious this was. She went out and had a big night and came over the next day abs said she had to go home as something came up. There were so many people came for a few hours. Brought junkfood and said it was ok not to be ok, and there's lots of help out there. and all of that kind of thing. Many wanted to go to the pub for drinks probably thinking this would help too. All this was just examples of things that happened as people just didn't realise how serious it was
I collapsed so badly and so fast it was frightening. I never recovered.
I've rambled a bit. It's just a few examples of the reactions around me as I was collapsing. Most were well intended, but so many were extremely damaging.
In fairness I was in such a horrific state.
Emma Emma
Im very very far gone.
It's likely too late now Emma.
I've huge problems now as o collapsed.
The reactions of people that I've mentioned is from three years ago when I was collapsing.
I'm in a shocking state now.
What part of the world or Ireland are you in ?
Emma Emma
are you ok these days ?
It's hard to listen to cause I've been on both sides of mental health issues & suicide - There's no shame in it, if anyone can say they've never howled at the moon then their lucky or lying. Good on ye Marion x
I used to be attracted to this woman. She is sweet as well.
Very sensitive interviewing too.
