So now its poor, for Rosie has been depressed since she was 18 and on medication now for two years......thought they did a background check before they turned over little children to "depressed" lesbians but then, nobody ever checked out the alcoholic Paul Pouondstone, lesbian, Rosie's playmate did they. One would think they would run some type of a background check on people like "Rosie" and Paula Poundstone (both lesbians) before they let little children be placed in their "loving" care? In particular always wondered about the one who had the front teeth knocked out - only 2 years old.....and we know what Paula is charged with do we not? Noticed Madonna and Paula Poundstone both said they checked out state laws for Sodomy laws before they would come in and also noed, tht Madonna had several concerts cancelled for people are not buying enough tickets> Times they are a changing and meanwhile watch little pedophile Michael Jackson's imagine being cleaned up and oh, he will cry for the children too. In all fairness though the police three times heard Rosie's child screaming in the night for someone called the police - the child was removed from he home but then they got Paula - makes good example, And then we have the Boy Scouts - oh h ow these loving homos would love to get their hands on some of them. I would like to hear more about how she hurt her hand and how Paula while in rehab in drunken state hurt her arm and hands....makes nice sob story .....but for the state to turn children over to these two lesbians - one having police called to house 3 times for child screaming in night, and the latter arrested under $200,000 bond and in alcholic rehab house .........what next? Saba Rosie O'Donnell talks about her depression 'I am no longer ashamed,' TV star notes NEW YORK, Aug. 5 — Talk-show host Rosie O'Donnell said she has been on anti-depressants for two years after having been depressed and in denial about her condition for years, according to the September issue of her magazine. In the upcoming issue of "Rosie," O'Donnell has written, "I think I have been depressed for years." Despite 'moments of joy ... happy days and career success,' O'Donnell said 'the dark cloud that arrived in my childhood did not leave until I was 37 and started taking medication.' SAYING SHE WAS in denial about her condition during that time, O'Donnell wrote, "I wasn't depressed. I was sad, yes, and moody, but not 'depressed.' I had reasons for my pain, and that kept me from getting treatment." The September issue of the magazine will be out on Aug. 7. Going to therapy on-and-off since she was 16, she said she "went over and over the disturbing things that happened to me. ... I never felt much better." With "the gloom ... becoming constant" despite "moments of joy ... happy days and career success," O'Donnell said "the dark cloud that arrived in my childhood did not leave until I was 37 and started taking medication." The former stand-up comic credits the medication for saving her life. O'Donnell did not say what medication she was taking, but wrote "my depression slowly faded away. I have been on medication for two years now. I may be on it forever." MEDICATION MADE LIFE MANAGEABLE Addressing common fears about anti-depressants, she said, "the pills did not make me a zombie, they did not change the reality of my past, they did not take away my curiosity. ... What the pills did was to allow me to deal with all of those issues when and where I wish. ... My life is once again manageable. ...

I could not sleep," she wrote. "It affected my work, nothing else mattered. I became obsessed. Danger was everywhere. No one was safe." With thoughts of leaving her television show or checking into a hospital, O'Donnell said she suffered a panic attack and then saw a doctor who prescribed two anti-depressants. "Only last week," she wrote, "I filled a prescription for the medication that saved my life. In my own name. I am no longer ashamed." © 2001 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
