I'm watching this today because I just learned she died by suicide. How sad. May she finally rest in peace. I hope her husband and daughters find peace as well.
@lhmmhl1 you obviously don't understand brain disease like depression or suicidal ideation. Good luck with that in your life and relationships. You must have a nice prickly shoulder for your friends and family to lean on. Real nice.
@designer-mama ha. Suicide is not an option once you have children. The devastation that decision brings on everyone around you is unimaginable. And it's a million times worse for children.
@@lhmmhl1 I get why you would think that. I had a friend who's father killed himself because he felt that his family would be better off without him. I don't disregard what you're saying at all, but I don't think it's so black and white either. I also think she was pretty drunk when she did it as well, which def clouds the judgement. 😥 sad situation all around for sure.
I sadly never heard of this woman until today, learning she has passed. Her story hit me like a brick wall though as I relate immensely. May god bless her soul and let her rest in peace. ❤
I totally understand the waking up and not being able to understand how you could've felt so bad. It happens almost every time I have a depressive episode. I go from being in complete denial about being depressed to total clarity when it’s over. So wild.
I am so so sad to hear she passed away and can only think of her beautiful young daughters who I’m sure she loved. It’s gng to be a hard road to healing for the family. I’m sad that after all the efforts to stay alive she couldn’t. I wish there was a full cure and I encourage people to seek help and have faith in a higher purpose.
Sounds like her demons came back after all. Just finished reading about how she killed herself. Thats really sad. I remember waking up after my jaw and wrist surgery after being heavily drugged. Wanted to jump off the roof of the hospital. Can't imagine what it would feel like to live like that permanently. RIP
Heather, I followed your blog for many years. I admired you and always appreciated your honest sharing of your child rearing while describing your life as it took on many changes.
Such a sad ending fot this dear lady. I too have clinical depression and completely understand the excruciating agony. May she rest in peace eternally ❤
So....this treatment didn't "fix" her. Just based on how manic her writing and behavior on social media have gotten over the past couple of years, she is definitely still struggling. I saw her at a reading in Seattle last year and she cried for almost 90 straight minutes. Is that normal? It's interesting that there has been no more "news" from this supposedly life-changing clinical trial.
Odds are, based on studies that depression like this can be hereditary, that one of her kids will suffer similar depression or commit suicide as well. The demons find the right path in and never stop. Never. It’s why focusing on Christ and saving others can be a real blessing too few of us explore.
I also wonder this especially after finding her infamous now redacted post that got her into so much hot water last summer. It did not read like her usual writing, and it was clear something had gone horribly wrong somewhere.
@@DAL201107 Those studies trying to suggest this is genetic are most certainly dubious. Dooce's fate should be a cautionary tale about having faith in psychiatry.
Rest in peace Heather. This culture is destructive to women, women’s mental health and women’s health in general. When women are accepted wholly for everything we are this world will be better
What? There has never been a better time for women in the history of humanity. Give me a period of time or another country on this planet that it’s better for women than in the US and the year 2023. Women have more opportunities and more social support to be successful and be empowered to succeed than ever before. And to me they are more miserable than ever. Congratulations feminism, you won.
This is like what the doctor that treated michael Jackson they put you in a hypnosis with propofol then they did it too many times and he finally died. Its to relieve high stress jobs people that don't get to rest basically a forced very needed rest, the brain sleeps therefore heals itself
This isn't a cautionary tale about straying from Jesus. Just a reminder that psychiatrists are quacks that prey on the desperate. Having faith that God will fix problems/make things right is as dangerous as having faith that a psychiatrist will.
@@CrashBandiscoot It is kind of necessary - how many people did she peddle false hope to? But I think it's more necessary to say that the professionals that peddled this treatment to Heather really deserve to be shamed and ridiculed. Charlatans preying on the desperate.
She just said it..she wasn't a Believer! Everything is possible through Christ Jesus we don't need Medical experimental treatment..we need Jesus! ❤ R.i. paradise
@@Texasrelics Jesus is the most toxic drug on earth. Jesus has destroyed more lives than any drug that has ever existed. It's taken me years to recover from the harmful effects of Jesus and I don't know if I'll ever fully recover. Say no to Jesus!
As a Christian...that's not helpful, that's the exact answer you shouldn't say to someone suicidal because it alienates them further. Like geez, what so wrong with me that God won't even respond. Or they'll never talk to you again about it because you're not listening to their pain. You're giving a trite answer and invalidating the depth of both their despair and faith. When in depression even a believer gets to a point where they just cannot go one step further despite their faith. I'm reading her book right now, she cried out to God. She did! And he answered her with this clinical trial. People like to say God always provides but it may not be the exact answer you wanted or liked but in the long run it's the right answer, because it's God's answer. God created people, people who make major medical breakthroughs every day, breakthroughs that save LIVES. Should we not seek treatment for a heart attack? Or just ask God to take away? I'm guessing most people would call 911 and then pray. Please believe I'm not trying to be rude, I'm dead serious. This very answer has cost so many their lives as it only adds guilt when seeking out help. Edited for typos
@@hmcbolser2584 Thank you for posting this reply. We don’t share the same religious beliefs, but I love your approach. Anyone who says to _just do ______ and your mental illness will get fixed_ is being unhelpful. The only exception is encouraging someone to seek professional help, because doing so will give them *multiple specific and helpful* things to try. Working on mental health can be so incredibly difficult and discouraging. It’s completely ok if some people don’t really understand that, as long as they’re willing and trying to understand. Just being there to listen can go a long way. And here are some things to say if you want to be obnoxious and unhelpful: “Just stay positive” “Just eat bananas” “Just get a Jesus”

She's the definition of selfishness. You simply cannot off yourself if you have children. She has ruined their lives because of her ego.

R.I.P. Heather 😢
Sounds like she should have a good lawsuit if the treatment doesn't work too. We love you Heather! Bought 6 copies of your book to give to my friends.
Turns out it didnt work
It’s a study. She agreed to let them experiment on her. She knew the risks.
I feel for her 😞
RIP HEATHER ❤
Poor girl.
Sounds like she did not find a good psychiatrist who helped her discover the root of her sadness. Very sorry to learn of her suicide.
Rest in peace ❤
I wonder if she tried psilocybin.
RIP Heather.
Rest in peace
Try chronic depression for twenty-five years ...
It’s not a competition. See a therapist or write your own book
RIP
that's weird that the psychiatrist said I promise it is going to be safe...
Good for her. She solved her own problem. I don’t see the problem if someone wants to off themselves in these situations.
She committed suicide 5.9.2023. 😢😢😢
I agree. I think they should legalize euthanasia for mental illnesses that are treatment resistant
Ayahuasca would have done the same thing and you wouldn't have been risking not waking back up.
No it wouldnt have, but cool.

Just found out she committed suicide after relapsing recently. I guess the guilt of having to tell her children about it was too much to bear :/
I think it was far deeper…
