@@bookmarker7471 I wonder what was the source of her unhappiness. She looked good, educated, successful, outgoing. I just can't imagine what the source of her unhappiness was.
She accomplished absolutely nothing. She equipped herself with all the tools necessary to make an impact in life and on society in general and then, just before it all could come to fruition, she threw her life away. I can't think of anything more tragic than that!
First, if this woman went this far to end her pain-she had a chemical imbalance in her brain, which distorted reality. She was not selfish, nor ungrateful. SHE DIDN'T OWE ANYBODY ANYTHING. I just wish that she had known she had permission to walk away from a life that was killing her. She didn't owe black women a role model (I'm a black woman, by the way), or any other pressure she was unfairly burdened with. She didn't owe anyone to be successful, and "not waste" her talents. I've read "she had everything, a life others would give anything to have". The difference is, maybe they want it. But she didn't. Don't want to be a lawyer? Walk away. Don't want to make Miss USA appearances? Give them back their crown. Don't want to be part of the entertainment industry that's already making you feel irrelevant? Run, and don't look back. Leave it all behind. Condo, contracts, commitments. NONE of it is worth your life. Go live with your grandparents (who apparently adored her) get the right doctors, medication, and rest. Pray. When you are well...grow some vegetables. Work in a flower shop. Work with the elderly or young children. The things of this toxic, material, godless world CANNOT satisfy the human heart. It's ok to change course and live a quiet life. I just wish she had known that she could-and been given the support to choose a different path. So Heartbreaking! Rest in Peace, Beautiful, Precious Cheslie~
It’s easy to judge… ppl need to remember that… we all have different struggles… some are financial, clearly dhe didnt have financial struggles… but she had a diff type of struggle that we didnt know existed… and sadly it is too late❤️
❤️love this. I think this new social media age adds an extra burden. Comparison is the devil. Even when you don't try to, it is difficult to not notice the excess in the media and all around you.
It is very important what you are saying but society casts away devils rejects when they can’t cope, can’t handle, and can’t make do. Her being was VERY dependent on the public’s perception. What I was thinking about was the time she decided to let it all go. Very early in the morning means she probably didn’t sleep and built up her decision to do it or her situation was so dire that she couldn’t handle it. She definitely had to have made several attempts in the past. It’s a shame no one caught on.
I believe they are trying to comes to grips with her sudden loss and they're in shock themselves. Maybe this is how the show is handling their friend being gone.😢
*The loneliest people are the kindest.* *The saddest people smiles the brightest.* *The most damaged people are the wisest.* *All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.*
I learned what a high functioning depressed person was. I can relate to Cheslie because I'm a lot like her. But I didn't realize or want to admit I was depressed. I got out of bed, did my job. Checked off all the boxes. But there were definitely things that I stopped doing that were red flags. I tried to kill myself with food. How you might ask? If you looked at me you would think I'm not that overweight but when you used to run daily, ate only healthy things and rarely ever ate crap you would see the difference. I got a wake-up call when at my young age, I started getting chest pain while trying to sleep at night. I was close to having a heart attack. I feel the weight of everything daily but I'm getting better. One foot before the other. A lot has happened in the last 2 plus years. Increased racism, stressed jobs, losing a parent, not feeling like you have a purpose or that you have anyone close. I came close to killing myself for a second time in my life. But something always pulls me back when I get close. I hope and pray that we start talking to each other more. That we start saying 'hey it's okay to NOT be perfect or have everything figured out or to not be in a relationship'. You are doing good as you are.
My friend, who was a millionaire, beautiful and an ex gymnast drove her car into a tree at 57 yrs old. Depression sucks. We place too much emphasis on looks and money. They hide it well. I learned a lot from it.
People need to understand money doesn't solve every problem. it does help alleviate your financial problems, but it can't fix problems that aren't financially related. Finding joy in the simple things is the way to go. But I still desire financial comfort.
You do not overcome depression; you work through it on an emotional & intellectual manner. I do wonder if she sought therapy, or if she was determined to just “overcome” her depression by “acting” that she was ok. It is a heartbreaking ending to her life and for her family. She was a heck of an actress, pretending she was exuberant when you really are in the mist of falling apart. ♥️R.I.P.
A side of depression rarely spoken about: not everyone who suffers talks about suicide or has changes. The only way to identify this kind is to realize that the person is doing too much. She wrote in her essay that she spent 8 days in the hospital because she worked so much. This is actually a numbing mechanism similar to using alcohol or drugs. The moment u hit peace, the flood of emotional anguish hits u. I speak from experience. I’m glad I was able to figure myself out and I very much avoid doing too much. When I feel the urge to do so I take the time to see what’s going on that’s making me feel like numbing my emotions.
Yeah maybe the multi tasking thing is not so great. Trying to be super woman. , even if encouraging to others and likeable to others. Even with all the success. I’ve always been a big believer ion concentrating on one thing at a time, then on to next challenge. It’s wonderful and efficient to be able to do three or four tasks at once, especially for your career. But it often leads to burnout too.
The pressure to be on, and be there for your friends who may need you, always the strong one. But who knows she probably had depression all her life, may have nothing to do with all of the above. Just those periods of sadness that come from out of the blue, and for no reason. I found myself crying for no reason. Moody, temper tantrum s I just that was the way I was, as there were times I was in good moods too. But when depression set in would last for weeks or months. I was 38 when I got treated, I’m 62, and I’m stable, proper medicine, see doctor every three months. Another problem too, for many, is being too busy, hectic schedule, exhaustion, that you are not taking emotional care of yourself, going to gym maybe on your schedule to to stay in shape. But you still need a doctor for the mind, exercise is all well and good, for the body, and you do feel good after workout , but still have to take care of the mind if you are prone to depression. Many people like me like I did for a long time don’t even realize they are depressed. It took my ex to drag me to see a doctor, he pretty much saved my life I was very lucky, if it were not for him I might not be here today. I’m forever great ful. But now that mental health in the forefront now, it maybe easier to see a doctor. What I did, was write all my feelings down on paper, and gave to doctor, it’s hard to explain all that verbally , it made it easier for me and the doctor to talk about, and my writing s gave doctor a good idea what I was suffering from. For anyone who wants to talk to a doctor about depression, this could be the first step for you, put it in writing. At first visit to doctor. Then next visit s you can talk more freely. This worked for me anyway. It is uncomfortable at first to talk about. But once doctor is aware, you have taken the first step to treatment. Anti depressants do help. If you find the ones that work for you, some mild side effects but they pass, and some make you feel worse get off them immediately if they make you worse emotionally. Keep trying , be patient, it took me a few trys. Until I finally got it. You may have to increase dosage from time to time, or change medication, you can tell when it’s not helping anymore. But I noticed a big difference still get the blues off and on , but it passes quickly doesn’t linger for weeks. You can live a normal life and cope better. But you still don’t have to be super woman even if you are feeling good on your meds, take it easy on yourself. , pace yourself, don’t always have to be strong, but try to talk to someone you are close to. I talk to my sister, she doesn’t mind, and vice versa, I don’t care what people say, we all have a right to have a mini pity party with one invite, the listener. You get it off your chest. But try not to bother 24 hrs a day you will drive people crazy. Just when you feel blue. It does help when someone listen’s, just listen s unless you ask opinion, which I ask sometimes, it is good to get a viewpoint too!! Anyway may this girl RIP. As I said one thing at a time, as you go along, well it works for me anyway.
@@maryannemelenka9250 Thanks for sharing your experience! She was aware of her depression and in the article she wrote you can clearly see that she was struggling. She should have taken that to the docs! However, I feel that because many think that depression is just about being “sad” and “blue” that many like us are overlooked. When I went to the doctor she flat out told me I wasn’t depressed. But I knew I was. I knew that’s what I felt. Had to go to several doctors before being diagnosed and I was in my early 20s! I did not want medication however, I just wanted support in order to uncover what was causing it. In my case it was similar to Chelsie, I felt like even though I had everything and was on track to everything and more that I supposedly wanted in life, I felt no joy. I felt like something was missing or could it b that I was disappointed that there wasn’t more? Chelsie speaks about many things in her essay and that was one of the points. I realized that my problem was that I was being unrealistic about what life would give me. I had to enjoy and be, most important, GRATEFUL, for what I had. Social media, family and friends at times can influence us in a way where we develop unrealistic expectations about how things should make us feel. And that feeling of being totally lost, without purpose… it is absolutely horrifying when u r young. The 30s can mess u up even more, since that is the age when we begin to solidify who we r as ppl. But when u get there and don’t even know who ur anymore, plus the disappointment plus reading that everything u have done u actually don’t care about anymore… how do u explain all that? I’m glad u had someone in ur life who love su enough to make u see a doctor and a doctor who recognized the signs. Hopefully more doctors will begin to recognize this side of depression as well. Stay safe!! ❤️❤️
My dad committed suicide in 1986 when I was 29, and there were several red flags, but we NEVER thought he would do something like this as he had 4 loving adult children. So I tell people that ask about it, that if they have any gut feeling that they are actually making plans to do it, they should intervene. But the truth is, if they are really intent on doing it, they will find a way. And although after 35 years I have come to terms with it, it is still a very devastating event in my life. Much love and condolences to her family and friends. ❤️
Hey, lovely, i am sorry for your loss , i think the worst part is when you get older and you reach the age of the deceased parent , that reality hits harder .
I think I may have this. I've never had a suicidal thought but I'm constantly trying to hide my sadness. I guess the silver lining to this tragedy is awareness. Rip Cheslie
You won't believe how many people live like this. You are not alone.....especially in the age of social media where people only post the highlights of their lives. That actually AIDS in the problem because there is a direct contradiction in how you feel vs how you show up in real life. Nothing is more freeing than being yourself. Be glad you realize it. Awareness is everything and the 1st step to healing.
Please seek help love, I’ve been there I’ve been in a treatment facility wanting to end my life and trust me you can recover from it if you get the help you need
Me too, it’s worth a try to seek help, I know I am and so should you. The pain of the loved ones is immense if we let go. But troubles often improve with time.
@@laurenlocd3180 who are you to tell someone that. It’s literally people like you that are the reason for situations like this. Please log out and don’t log in again until you can be a decent person.
They say NYC is a dark, lonely place with many hanging on by a thread. This, in a weird way, reminded me of the Dorothy Hale situation. Her comment about hitting 30 and worrying that her time was running out to leave a lasting impression gives insight into how she felt about herself. I could only imagine the conversations with her therapist. This case really intrigues me because I could only be curious as to her mindset leading up to making a decision like this. It can’t be be first time. No way. I wish her family the best!
I think you are correct but it's not as much of a mystery to me though. There are facets (directors of the USA system) of the pageant world that use the contestants that are not as strong as others- they artificially elevate them when the contestant can benefit them-- Do these directors think they are actually helping these young women🤔...maybe. I have my opinion on that but the strongest overcomers who really know who they are, are often passed up to be the top queens. If you look deep enough, you will see the patterns. I believe this artificial elevation is exactly the opposite of what the individual needs and does not end well for anyone. May Cheslie rest in peace and may God watch over her loved ones. 💔
You're right. She probably contemplated jumping off the bldg several times in the past. When people saw the happy and joyful Cheslie in public, that was just a mask she had on.
been thinking about this girl all week, for some reason her death has left me in a state of shock and mourning. she really was a shining star. it's almost as if she was too good/kind for this world.. I wish we could know what was going on in her mind that morning, through the night and for the last hour of her existence. If only someone could have been there for her, or noticed she needed help. poor girl... no more pain now. Rest in Peace, Cheslie
Our government does not include mental health in healthcare. Some people cannot afford healthcare at all. I don’t go talk to anyone because I can’t afford it. I have been dealing with high-functioning depression for at least 30 years. I know I will have my very low times. It’s scary.
Canadians have "Universal Healthcare" (which btw isn't "free" as many people profess unless they don't pay taxes) but even Canada's healthcare focuses mainly on physical healthcare and like many countries, doesn't employ mental health providers to keep pace w/the numbers of people w/mental disorders/illnesses. One in every four Canadians is reported to suffer from some sort of mental disability. I wish you well and to remember there are people who you can call 24/7 to talk to when you're at your lowest. Don't struggle alone, please reach out when you need support.💓🌺
You are a champion love ❤️ I’m sure you have developed your own coping mechanisms to keep yourself afloat. Maybe you can share some with others. Thanks for being so strong 💪
I hope that she is now at peace. I can’t imagine what she was going through that day when she died but I give my love and condolences to her family and loved ones. I also send love to the ones who read this struggling with their Mental Health. Please seek help and know you aren’t alone in your struggles.
But we really are alone except for God. I know besides God and my daughter no one else really cares all that much about me at all. It’s only words. Cheslie was actually very much alone. If she had felt support, maybe she would still be here. So many people tell me “you’re not alone,” but in the past two years during the worst pain of my life I have those that say this to me are being dishonest, because the proof is in the action.
Thanks so much for your message, Erik. I am just one of the many folks who struggle with mental illness. Fortunate that I have help from both the psychologist and the psychiatrist. Definitely the psychologist who I can contact if I feel down.
But to her turning 30 was the worst thing in life. Stop glorifying people that don't even want to be here. This is a teaching moment, but I'm not going to call her inspirational.
I resonate with high functioning depression. As a woman and POC in corporate America, I was constantly sheilding off microagressions, unwanted sexual overtures, and more. I was lucky to get help, professional. I tried a few before finding the one for me. Please don't give up. There's always a solution. RIP beautiful soul Cheslie 🙏❤️💫
@@cherismith6366 Exactly the sad part is that not everyone will even want the help. For some people death is their option. It’s sad to hear but it’s the reality.
She is so accomplished! Shes the only Miss Universe USA that’s very well known and recognized cos of her work with Extra and co-hosting other shows! Alot of people knew who she was! So heartbreaking to see such a strong and inspirational Queen gone too soon! RIEP 👑 💕
Rip chelise. Finally I can put a word to how I have been feeling. (Functional depression) Often times I can make it through the day but I'm suffering .
Talk to someone please. Someone you can trust. Build up a social network of people you can trust and depend on to even just talk to you whenever you feel depressed. Reach out to someone. Your life matters so very much. Pray. Read your bible. Listen some gospel music. Watch tv. Anything to get you out of the dark pit of depression. God bless you! You are loved by many and by God who made you. Reach out to HIM! EVERY LIFE MATTERS!🙏💕🌹💓
I don't know why this is hitting me so hard. I didn't even know her. I don't follow pageants or watch extra. I think maybe it's cuz she literally had everything. She had everything now and so much more in store for her. I feel so sad for her mother.
i hear you plus i can't imagine how horrific the last moments must have been for this beautiful lady. WHY ? do these things have to happen. RIP SWEET LADY
I just wish someone could have been with her and got her help. I suffer with depression and anxiety the one time I thought of taking my life was as a teen, now at 39 I just pray and I see a therapist.
Her biological dad said it was some family dysfunction going on…they need to give the full story that caused this young lady to jump 29 stories to her death. Whatever that pain was in the dysfunction led to depression and caused her to leave this world. It could help other families not lose someone they love.
Wonderfully put!!! I agree! This isn't only "high functioning depression." From things I've heard, her mother didn't want her to work at her low wage entertainment job. She wanted her to be the high powered lawyer she studied to be! Chelsie didn't want to deal with the racism or as she put it "micro aggressions" she delt with in that industry! Too bad Chelsie couldn't simply stop listening to her mother's view of what she should do with her life. There was her sexual orientation, which I've heard her mother didn't accept! Sad all the way around! Sounds like she could have used unconditional love and she didn't have it!
What can we get out this tragedy...no matter how beautiful, slim, smart, head full of hair and accomplished you are...you can still be the most unhappy person. R.i.p Queen 👑
Such a tragic loss. Poor Cheslie. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her since I found out about this on Monday. I wish she could’ve seen what everyone else saw; a stunningly beautiful, intelligent, and accomplished woman with such a dynamic and magnetic personality. She accomplished more in her 30 years than most people accomplish in a lifetime and yet in her eyes it wasn’t enough. She was worried about getting older and becoming irrelevant. Of course thirty is still very young and she had her whole life ahead of her, but in her depressed state she couldn’t see that. I hope that Cheslie has found the peace in heaven that she was unable to find on earth. I hope that this tragedy will bring greater awareness to the need for better mental healthcare and less stigma for mental illnesses. I pray for Cheslie’s family and friends and for everyone living with depression, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness. Rest in peace precious angel. 💔
I know! I cant get over as to HOW she decided to end it..I mean suicide is not the answer but there are gentler ways to go about it than that, the fact she chose THAT way, just makes it even sadder and shows the amount of terrible despair she was in...
Accomplishments and looks unfortunately have nothing to do with mental illness or how we feel inside. The bible says, "What profits a man to gain the world and lose his soul?" Same thing here applies, what good did her accomplishment and looks do her? We are more than our external self and our accomplishments and we all better start seeing that.
This is why I support psychotropic treatment. Medicine is such a life saver in some instances. I was high functioning for a long time until it came down on me like a ton of bricks. Medicine was my savior.
Such a beautiful human being. The more I watch her the worst I feel about the whole situation. Depression is such a pernicious illness…it rips families apart. I have been crying over this suicide all week. Some how it just affected me in such profound ways because she had so much to give to humanity. All her achievements did not offset her sadness. I wish we can turn back the clock..,and stop 🛑 her from ending her life. Her being gone feels like something special left the earth. Cheslie if you are in spirit reading this….please understand how much love we have for you. You will be forever missed….rest up angel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Very well said Rick , I'm from Australia and I'd never heard of Cheslie until I stumbled on the news of her death and I've looked at almost everything there is to see on her . That Denzel WAshington interview is chilling , if it he knew how much desperately she needed healing . devastating ❤️
Look at the bright side of her story.... At least she had a chance to accomplish things. Most people have it so bad that they do it in worse conditions with no accomplishments and no one to care or even know they existed. She was loved and will be remembered.
Read her essay in Allure magazine. She says it all there. But no one realized she needed help because she seemed to have everything put together. She speaks about how she wanted to seek joy. In other words, she felt a great sadness and pressure, because she felt like she was “running out of time” to leave an impression in the world. Saddest part was that she already had.
How sad... RIP! You can never really know what a person goes through! Some people may look cool, calm and collected on the outside and have a level of success some people can only dream about, yet some suffer so much pain that one has to do things, one that is unfathomable! ☹
Sister Kerry-Ann share what God showed her about this woman. She never had depression or sort of high functioning etc. They terminated her. Pls Listen to Kerry-Ann Videos.
What a beautiful soul. Like many “High Functioning” disorders, they’re hard to diagnose, especially for those who acknowledge their illness. They are literally ambassadors’ and at the forefront of their disorders. All the while, they are hiding how bad things really are. It takes one to know one. You can rest now Chelsie. You are finally at peace. 😔
Being a people pleaser/empath can be very devastating too. She was an intelligent lady and should have reached out and seek help anonymously if preferred. It really solidifies that a life without Christ is meaningless.
I think of suicide alot of times cause I get tired of feeling like this depression is a disease it will take away your joy and not wanting to live you feel like your body trying to live but your mind is a dead and broken. My heart goes out to her. r.i.p.
@@rebeccacastro2525 Exactly. To the world she had everything, inside she was lacking something that she felt she couldn't escape from mentally. So sad.
@@BeautyNBrains86 That's usually the way it it. I was just wondering what that thing was. A lot of people are going through what bothered her. Sharing could really help with learning. But I know it's not easy to share.
@@BeautyNBrains86 plus I think she always was pleasing others (mom/dad) that she maybe felt she had lost her identity...based on some videos I have seen, looks like she saw 30 as being old and maybe felt needed to be married etc..obviously Im speculating but it looks like SHE FELT unfullfilled but bc she did appear to have it all, she couldnt open up and share her vulnerbilities.. all around such a sad ending.. she was so loved and had a warm personality, very sad to know her internal suffering pushed her to such drastic measures
It’s so sad so many people suffer from this, including me ! I hope that they start looking in to this more ! I’m sorry for all of the people who suffer from this ! It is not easy to get through and you don’t even know how many people have this problem. I myself have had to deal with this for all of my life, I am trying to get my life back on the track the way it should be... I think society puts a lot of pressure on people, be skinny, look young, for Gods sake they make you feel old when you are only 30...I say love 💕 your self no matter what! This life is only temporary, so it’s not going to last forever ♾
Some people have it so bad they can't or don't want to get up at all. I could never commit suicide because I'm terrified of death so that's not an option. It's a horrible feeling. I do act happy alot but I sleep alot. Chesley had done so much and it's too bad she had so many difficulties. She accomplished so much and with so much beauty inside and out. Just so very sad. God Bless her family at this awful time. RIP Chesley 🙏💕
Both are equally difficult. Just because one is high functioning (not in bed) doesn't mean they are any better. Peace be Unto you. Good luck to us all. 🙏
@@ladyclarke9903 You are right my dear. And also it DOESN'T matter if you accomplished much or little or even nothing.

Your life matters to me and many others I am sure!💕💓💕
I’ve had days where I was depressed but NEVER have I thought about jumping off a 30 story building. I’m so afraid of heights and I don’t have the courage to even do it. That’s bad
Because your depression clearly was not that bad. Real depression is waking up wanting to die, going though the day wanting to die, and going to sleep wanting to die. And its repeat everyday.
@@brentthompson1607 true. I feel like mine comes and goes due to my PCOS or just from certain situations which i get over in a few hours. Cheslie was truly depressed.
There where/are many Hugh function people with depression that sadly ends with suicide. Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain where also high functioning depressed people. Sadly, it ended for them the same way.
@@rachelm.3173 He actually committed suicide because he had Lewy body dementia and it was destroying his mind and body. He didn’t want to stick around to see it get worse and worse
I've been following this story and I just want to say may she rest in peace gorgeous angel I've suffered with depression for many years and I've never heard of high functioning depression but that doesn't mean that it's not just as bad as severe depression it's just a different form I wish somebody would have knew something so she could have been helped properly I just feel sorry that she had to go through that alone because even when we do have support we still feel alone because people don't understand heart goes out to the family prayers to them if anybody is struggling with something please reach out to anybody please you matter and your life matters and you can get help and get through it it's a long battle but can get through this and I've been through similar feelings and trust me it's a daily battle but there is help out there even if it's not your family I just pray that anyone that's feeling like that gets to help that they need and hopefully it's the right help with good care
Very true. Thank you for sharing. I love you whoever you are and always remember, telling yourself to hold on for one more day works! Your life and EVERY single LIFE matters, no matter accomplishment or no accomplishment! I am proud of you and God loves you and is happy you are alive! Keep fighting to LIVE and NOT DIE, for the dead know not anything! Better to keep fighting, reaching out to anyone to just talk you through depressive episodes. Even text if you don't want to talk to the person, as long as they care enough to text back! If not, that's not a true friend! Build on your social network with people who will be there for you. Dependable, trustworthy people. And try reading your bible. I understand it can be hard to at times. The bible is LIVING water! Listen to music or watch TV or just turn the radio on to distract your thoughts or feelings of depression. Read your bible even one verse or chapter. Pray. Cry out to God for help because it is he who made us and not we ourselves! He will hear you. He will save you. One day the battle will be won my dear. And always remember, with each depressive episode you overcome, it's a big win! God bless you always! With God all things are possible!🙏💕💜💕
Why haven’t anyone addressed if CK was on medication & what are the side effects of that medication. If that medication’s side effects are suicidal thoughts, bad dreams, anxiety & some if the person is young like CK can make their depression worse with suicidal thoughts & death. This is extreme & your daughter may never have done this if she was on medication that made her depression worse. What did they do to treat her for the 8 days & what meds if any did they give her. Someone need to speak up for her as she spoke up for others.
this was very informative and it goes to show that ppl who are afflicted with depression dont show it outwardly compared to ppl who claim their suffering with it who are merely self diagnosing and doesn't realize a difference from having a bad day versus dealing with inner turmoil on a daily basis that no one understands including yourself I say that bcuz so many times we see post of ppl saying oh I'm depressed and they don't have a clear understanding of depression exactly
for some it can last for yeeeears . Chile not only we've got this and the rich variety of racism is another compounding factor . how we survive this mental assault is incredible me . fr fr .
RIP Cheslie! BB, people with depression are not NOW wondering if they have depression. Those of us that have come from the edge, know quite well its depression. More often than not its beyond depression; so check yourself...
I’ve struggled with depression for many years it’s not a choice best believe if I could be happy and normal I would ………..it’s not a easy life to live and I consider I am functional but it’s a struggle
That’s really what depression looks like beautiful soul pretty smile good personality..we can see such a young lady with bright future and really successful ending like that. It’s really sad how a big town like nyc is a dark place can put a person with that industry into depression and the pandemic and all of the story’s around these year!! 😢😢✝️❤️
High achievers, perfectionist, workaholics stay busy, stay driven.. You can be all of those things and still be an introvert. Putting up that security wall or mask to hide yourself from the world. That's the child that you have to also keep your eye on, make special one on one time. We figure that they don't need us because of their independence but they still do. That's the friend or relative that you have to ask how are you doing? Really? Covid-19 has really put us though a test. Being confined to your home in isolation showed us how we need interaction, Physical interaction. As simple as a hug is, it is so needed.. Just a reminder that you are not alone.. and you are enough. Cheslie was an extraordinary young lady, I pray that her family and friends, receive the comforting support that they need🌹
I know how it feels to be pressured to success and keep pushing and being judged by a cover at the end of the day you should only care about your self and don’t let anyone derail your dreams ! Follow your dreams
Depression is real ...I always kept a smile while feeling dead on the inside...I even attempted suicide in my 20's I'm currently in therapy....such a beautiful young lady... You never know what a person is going through...so please be KIND to others!!!!...watch your words.
Praying for Chelsea parent and sister. We’re imperfect people. It’s ok to be vulnerable . I was suicidal but went to my son for help. Thinking I was the parent I should be the strong one . Thank you Jesus. Please don’t ever blame yourself. God needed a beauty pageant that had beauty inside and out in heaven.
How beautiful of you to be so humble as to look for help in your son! So many parents leave thinking, as Chelsie did, that they couldn’t show their weakness to their family and friends. Thank you for being an example! ❤️
How could she be high functioning depressed and no one knew, not even her mom. Most of the time in your medical somewhere it's detected. She really seemed upbeat and excited about life. I saw videos about her talking to a lot of people with mental illness and talking about how she keeps her own mental awareness up. Something happen to this be beautiful queen that caused her to go overboard, perhaps pushed too far, fame, stardom, let down dreams, failed relationship or something that caused an mental snap but high functioning depression and no one knew it idk. Also in Hollywood it's alot of demonic spirits and possible one of those hopped off on her. R.I.P. beautiful Queen👑
As someone who struggles deeply with High functioning depression it broke my heart to hear about Cheslie. I saw the video her mother had on red table talk where she shared the last text message Cheslie sent her. What hurt me the most is that I related to absolutely everything Cheslie wrote about her emotional state. Depression is hard. It’s will push you down and make you delusional. I know first hand. Cheslie seemed she had everything. Depression is serious. And the fact that her depression was so high functioning that she didn’t show signs of it is very shocking to a lot of people. But you have to understand that there are people everywhere that are going through something and can throw a smile to face the day. Cheslie had a lot on her plate. It’s difficult to want to live when you have a brain that wants to die.
So glad you did this!!! She and her mother have been on my mind all week. God…please comfort her family in this time of need - and all others dealing with thoughts of leaving this earth
Mental healthcare should be a part of all healthcare plans, and the US Govt should make mental health coverage available to all Americans, even those who cannot afford it. Americans need this so badly!! Our country is in pain.
It's so important to look after ourselves and take care of our mental health above everything else. Whenever I need a break nowadays I take it, if I need 10 hours sleep I get that. If I need to go for a walk, go the sauna steam room, get a massage or ignore my calls and texts all day long, I do it. I do what's best for MY mental health and I'm unapologetic about it. I am so sorry Cheslie felt like life was so overbearing to the point of no longer wishing to exist in this realm. May her beautiful soul that is eternal always shine forever. ❤️❤️❤️
Sometimes, a person has a tendency to pretend and to hide what he or she truly feels inside, while showing the entire world the other side and make them think that you're truly strong and amazing. But the truth is, you're tearing apart and breaking down until the truth will push you to the limit and, even take your own life. You have to really validate what you truly feels and what you're going through. So sad.😩
Do people not understand how depression works? It doesn’t matter how attractive you are, how much money you have, how much power and influence you have, etc. You can still want to die with all that if you struggle with depression
Sincere condolences to the family for the loss of a daughter that left a great legacy. A great role model and I am amazed at her achievements at a young age. Momma and Dad I pray that the Lord will comfort you and the rest of your family through this time. Living a life on thi earth, even if you a Christian is hard. We hide and can hide very well our pain. Then we put up a facade to reflect that we doing well, yet we struggling so badly. I do believe because the world judge and that is our greatest fear. I know that her death will not be in vain, it will bring awareness too many to seek help. Much love X
There is no DSM diagnosis called "high functioning depression". There are a number of depression disorders including Persistent Depressive Disorder (formerly known as Dysthymia) which is a low level depression kind of a chronic melancholy, and those who have it can operate with little to no impact on daily functionality. I don't think she had this, she seemed more acute, Bipolar 2 shows up as agitated/elevated mood (hypomania) and very deep depressive mood which happens a lot more frequently than a hypomanic mood/episode; it is very different from Bipolar 1. Can be very difficult to cope with if unmedicated or rapid cycling; I clearly don't know what she has, just wanted to offer more perspective on actual diagnoses from the DSM. Blessings to her and her family.
Maybe it’s like a highly functional alcoholic or crackhead a lot of ppl walk around high or drunk but they go to work and handle there business. I mean idk I just got a high school diploma y’all are more educated in this than me.🤷🏽♀️ just threw my 2cents in.
I thought the same. I don’t see cheslie as the kind of woman who will let critics get to her at a point where she wanna end her beautiful life. Maybe she was misdiagnosed, the more I follow her story, the more I think about a bipolar disorder that can explain her wonderful accomplishment and when the lowest part appeared, she made the most drastic decision ever. I’m so sad for her, may God bless her soul
I have manic depression but I could never take my life because I know it would hurt my family so much. Therapy works well along with medication. Sounds like she really needed both. The hardest part is putting up a happy face it hurts so much on the inside! 🙏 to her family and I wish she had gotten help.😢
This is so sad. She was so gorgeous inside out. Gosh why didn’t she ask for help. This is a terrible tragedy. Thi country has a huge problem with mental health assistance. Less military founding and better mental health assistance
Sometimes it’s best not to be blessed with being an overachiever. It’s too much pressure for a person to handle. The anxiety about never being enough must be insane.
A healthy mental health is a must to survived in this thing that we call life!!Peace of mind,contentment and acceptance of what we have now and make the most of it !!
Im from Brazil and my friend and I knew her from Instagram and she was like our Miss Influencer. I connected to her because in my head we looked alike haha and we both mixed and she was so successful and a inspiration 💘 When my friend said she was dead by suicide I was SO SHOCKED!!!! 😭😭😭😭 I STILL shocked....... sometimes when I'm on Instagram I remeber about her and go check her posts I never thought it was going to happen
My baby girl. How my heart breaks it really breaks. I never knew her personally yet this is such a global experience a pandemic even. How I wish we saw your pain and tried to extinguish it.
What a beautiful gift to the world, she was. I'm So sad that she left this world in such an abrupt manner. Please keep sharing her story to help others in need. Prayers for comfort and peace to her family. 🕊🙏🏼
Sometimes depression could be from the result of being vitamin B deficient. I found this out personally. Now I try to make sure that I just take a super complex B vitamin a day. I wonder if she was lacking vitamin B? This is so sad. Vitamin D3 and K2 mk7 is good also.
All do respect and my prayers and condolences are with the Family, Friends and Fans of Cheslie, RIP. I would like to understand if Cheslie was ever formerly diagnosed with this High- Functioning Depression by a Doctor/ Physician and if there were medications she was taking prior to Suicide. Other than just hearing about what may have been the cause, Cheslie was so well spoken and so much to look forward to with all her achievements. So far all the indicators point to her happiness and well being not someone that was having issues or suffering from Depression which is usually associated with sadness, and hopeless feelings. Nothing was said about phone calls, txt msg, Apartment, Friends etc,significant other, ?foul play, music, who last saw her, . Cheslie's last Instagram message" I hope this day brings you rest and Peace ,Heart Emoji". How is that possible for any one of us or followers if suicide was intended?
She was afraid of what people will think about her aging, it's so sad to live a life under the spot light, she turned 30 and focus on that one thing, poor thing may she rest in peace 🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻
She lived a very exciting and eventful life! She hid everything better than I could ever dream of doing, if I had been dealing with emotions as heavy as she. Cheslie was a very strong woman. Very determined and sure of her intentions. She was very focused and walked in the power of self determination. That Cheslie Kryst. Wow. I still respect her. I refuse to look or “feel some kind of way” towards her because of her decision to exit the planet like she did. I celebrate her life and the fact that she is now at peace. She accomplished so much in this lifetime! Rest In Peace, all the wonderful things you did in this life, live on, for us to learn from and enjoy! ❤️✨
I'm JUST talking about myself here, not Cheslie, so don't misinterpret what I'm saying. I had a soap opera life since I was 8 in my family. Won't go into details, but let's say in the decade of what happened coming from a divorced family was rare. I was truly the only one that I knew who did, which made me feel cheated & less than. (early sixties) My Dad started another family immediately & I had to blend in or not see him. I had A LOT of pressures growing up, and not being as "successful" as my siblings, it was made obvious too. I always had underlying depression & acted out on it in other ways. I haven't had the best life or the worst. My son was my "gift" that has & still is keeping me going. After taking care of my Mom for 14 years & watching her pass slowly in a nursing home for way too long, I was diagnosed with incurable cancer which is painful both mentally & physically. Then the pandemic showed it's ugliness & cruelty & I just about could keep myself together. It's been a nightmare, and I'm struggling with it, but I still wouldn't take my own life. My son is my light...it ain't easy...
She accomplished more in 30 years than most of us will in our lives. Cheslie was extraordinary.
And she still was not happy.
@@bookmarker7471 I wonder what was the source of her unhappiness. She looked good, educated, successful, outgoing. I just can't imagine what the source of her unhappiness was.
She accomplished absolutely nothing. She equipped herself with all the tools necessary to make an impact in life and on society in general and then, just before it all could come to fruition, she threw her life away. I can't think of anything more tragic than that!
ABCDEF, YES she did, but at what cost to her...
wagrich1 she had a law and economics degree.
First, if this woman went this far to end her pain-she had a chemical imbalance in her brain, which distorted reality. She was not selfish, nor ungrateful. SHE DIDN'T OWE ANYBODY ANYTHING. I just wish that she had known she had permission to walk away from a life that was killing her. She didn't owe black women a role model (I'm a black woman, by the way), or any other pressure she was unfairly burdened with. She didn't owe anyone to be successful, and "not waste" her talents. I've read "she had everything, a life others would give anything to have". The difference is, maybe they want it. But she didn't. Don't want to be a lawyer? Walk away. Don't want to make Miss USA appearances? Give them back their crown. Don't want to be part of the entertainment industry that's already making you feel irrelevant? Run, and don't look back. Leave it all behind. Condo, contracts, commitments. NONE of it is worth your life. Go live with your grandparents (who apparently adored her) get the right doctors, medication, and rest. Pray. When you are well...grow some vegetables. Work in a flower shop. Work with the elderly or young children. The things of this toxic, material, godless world CANNOT satisfy the human heart. It's ok to change course and live a quiet life. I just wish she had known that she could-and been given the support to choose a different path. So Heartbreaking! Rest in Peace, Beautiful, Precious Cheslie~
It’s easy to judge… ppl need to remember that… we all have different struggles… some are financial, clearly dhe didnt have financial struggles… but she had a diff type of struggle that we didnt know existed… and sadly it is too late❤️
❤️love this. I think this new social media age adds an extra burden. Comparison is the devil. Even when you don't try to, it is difficult to not notice the excess in the media and all around you.
I wish today's youth and young adults could read and grasp this message.
Exactly my thoughts and views too, you said it well..World's standards are all fake and vanity.. so sad she had to choose a path like that.
It is very important what you are saying but society casts away devils rejects when they can’t cope, can’t handle, and can’t make do. Her being was VERY dependent on the public’s perception. What I was thinking about was the time she decided to let it all go. Very early in the morning means she probably didn’t sleep and built up her decision to do it or her situation was so dire that she couldn’t handle it. She definitely had to have made several attempts in the past. It’s a shame no one caught on.
I like how extra isnt letting this go. They've done a segment on Cheslie ever since she passed. Mental health is very serious.
She was loved. She is loved. So sad I really looked up to her.
I love that too! It’s how you should show respect, not just a one and done. RIP
@@MaryLou913 Definitely 💯
Totally agree!
I believe they are trying to comes to grips with her sudden loss and they're in shock themselves. Maybe this is how the show is handling their friend being gone.😢

I learned what a high functioning depressed person was. I can relate to Cheslie because I'm a lot like her. But I didn't realize or want to admit I was depressed. I got out of bed, did my job. Checked off all the boxes. But there were definitely things that I stopped doing that were red flags. I tried to kill myself with food. How you might ask? If you looked at me you would think I'm not that overweight but when you used to run daily, ate only healthy things and rarely ever ate crap you would see the difference.
I got a wake-up call when at my young age, I started getting chest pain while trying to sleep at night. I was close to having a heart attack. I feel the weight of everything daily but I'm getting better. One foot before the other. A lot has happened in the last 2 plus years. Increased racism, stressed jobs, losing a parent, not feeling like you have a purpose or that you have anyone close.
I came close to killing myself for a second time in my life. But something always pulls me back when I get close. I hope and pray that we start talking to each other more. That we start saying 'hey it's okay to NOT be perfect or have everything figured out or to not be in a relationship'. You are doing good as you are.
I’m glad you are here!
So grateful for your testimony so glad you're still here ❤️
Thank you for sharing.
Please remember this is journey not a spring.
Praying you through and Wishing you favorable outcome.
Peace be unto you 🙏
Thank you for sharing! I’m glad you’re here. :) please continue to take care of yourself.
Thank you for sharing!
My friend, who was a millionaire, beautiful and an ex gymnast drove her car into a tree at 57 yrs old. Depression sucks. We place too much emphasis on looks and money. They hide it well. I learned a lot from it.
People need to understand money doesn't solve every problem. it does help alleviate your financial problems, but it can't fix problems that aren't financially related. Finding joy in the simple things is the way to go. But I still desire financial comfort.
Wow 🙏🏾
Did she die?
😰
She seemed like such a lovely lady. It's sad that she couldn't overcome her emotional pain. My condolences to her friends and family. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️
We know now she was a fake lady ever American had crowned as Miss USA LOL
@@reinamasaya898 huh what's with the hate aren't Muslim
🙏🏾
You do not overcome depression; you work through it on an emotional & intellectual manner. I do wonder if she sought therapy, or if she was determined to just “overcome” her depression by “acting” that she was ok. It is a heartbreaking ending to her life and for her family. She was a heck of an actress, pretending she was exuberant when you really are in the mist of falling apart. ♥️R.I.P.
@@reinamasaya898 : you are pure evil!
A side of depression rarely spoken about: not everyone who suffers talks about suicide or has changes. The only way to identify this kind is to realize that the person is doing too much. She wrote in her essay that she spent 8 days in the hospital because she worked so much. This is actually a numbing mechanism similar to using alcohol or drugs. The moment u hit peace, the flood of emotional anguish hits u. I speak from experience. I’m glad I was able to figure myself out and I very much avoid doing too much. When I feel the urge to do so I take the time to see what’s going on that’s making me feel like numbing my emotions.
Yeah maybe the multi tasking thing is not so great. Trying to be super woman. , even if encouraging to others and likeable to others. Even with all the success. I’ve always been a big believer ion concentrating on one thing at a time, then on to next challenge. It’s wonderful and efficient to be able to do three or four tasks at once, especially for your career. But it often leads to burnout too.
The pressure to be on, and be there for your friends who may need you, always the strong one. But who knows she probably had depression all her life, may have nothing to do with all of the above. Just those periods of sadness that come from out of the blue, and for no reason. I found myself crying for no reason. Moody, temper tantrum s I just that was the way I was, as there were times I was in good moods too. But when depression set in would last for weeks or months. I was 38 when I got treated, I’m 62, and I’m stable, proper medicine, see doctor every three months. Another problem too, for many, is being too busy, hectic schedule, exhaustion, that you are not taking emotional care of yourself, going to gym maybe on your schedule to to stay in shape. But you still need a doctor for the mind, exercise is all well and good, for the body, and you do feel good after workout , but still have to take care of the mind if you are prone to depression. Many people like me like I did for a long time don’t even realize they are depressed. It took my ex to drag me to see a doctor, he pretty much saved my life I was very lucky, if it were not for him I might not be here today. I’m forever great ful. But now that mental health in the forefront now, it maybe easier to see a doctor. What I did, was write all my feelings down on paper, and gave to doctor, it’s hard to explain all that verbally , it made it easier for me and the doctor to talk about, and my writing s gave doctor a good idea what I was suffering from. For anyone who wants to talk to a doctor about depression, this could be the first step for you, put it in writing. At first visit to doctor. Then next visit s you can talk more freely. This worked for me anyway. It is uncomfortable at first to talk about. But once doctor is aware, you have taken the first step to treatment. Anti depressants do help. If you find the ones that work for you, some mild side effects but they pass, and some make you feel worse get off them immediately if they make you worse emotionally. Keep trying , be patient, it took me a few trys. Until I finally got it. You may have to increase dosage from time to time, or change medication, you can tell when it’s not helping anymore. But I noticed a big difference still get the blues off and on , but it passes quickly doesn’t linger for weeks. You can live a normal life and cope better. But you still don’t have to be super woman even if you are feeling good on your meds, take it easy on yourself. , pace yourself, don’t always have to be strong, but try to talk to someone you are close to. I talk to my sister, she doesn’t mind, and vice versa, I don’t care what people say, we all have a right to have a mini pity party with one invite, the listener. You get it off your chest. But try not to bother 24 hrs a day you will drive people crazy. Just when you feel blue. It does help when someone listen’s, just listen s unless you ask opinion, which I ask sometimes, it is good to get a viewpoint too!! Anyway may this girl RIP. As I said one thing at a time, as you go along, well it works for me anyway.
@@maryannemelenka9250 Thanks for sharing your experience! She was aware of her depression and in the article she wrote you can clearly see that she was struggling. She should have taken that to the docs! However, I feel that because many think that depression is just about being “sad” and “blue” that many like us are overlooked. When I went to the doctor she flat out told me I wasn’t depressed. But I knew I was. I knew that’s what I felt. Had to go to several doctors before being diagnosed and I was in my early 20s! I did not want medication however, I just wanted support in order to uncover what was causing it. In my case it was similar to Chelsie, I felt like even though I had everything and was on track to everything and more that I supposedly wanted in life, I felt no joy. I felt like something was missing or could it b that I was disappointed that there wasn’t more? Chelsie speaks about many things in her essay and that was one of the points. I realized that my problem was that I was being unrealistic about what life would give me. I had to enjoy and be, most important, GRATEFUL, for what I had. Social media, family and friends at times can influence us in a way where we develop unrealistic expectations about how things should make us feel. And that feeling of being totally lost, without purpose… it is absolutely horrifying when u r young. The 30s can mess u up even more, since that is the age when we begin to solidify who we r as ppl. But when u get there and don’t even know who ur anymore, plus the disappointment plus reading that everything u have done u actually don’t care about anymore… how do u explain all that? I’m glad u had someone in ur life who love su enough to make u see a doctor and a doctor who recognized the signs. Hopefully more doctors will begin to recognize this side of depression as well. Stay safe!! ❤️❤️

So you over work yourself to get rid of your reality? Does it help? This is a serious question.
My dad committed suicide in 1986 when I was 29, and there were several red flags, but we NEVER thought he would do something like this as he had 4 loving adult children. So I tell people that ask about it, that if they have any gut feeling that they are actually making plans to do it, they should intervene. But the truth is, if they are really intent on doing it, they will find a way. And although after 35 years I have come to terms with it, it is still a very devastating event in my life. Much love and condolences to her family and friends. ❤️
God I’m so sorry that happened.
Hey, lovely, i am sorry for your loss , i think the worst part is when you get older and you reach the age of the deceased parent , that reality hits harder .
I was born that year.
I am so so sorry to hear this.I am happy time has given you ability to accept and heal .God bless you and your family
Hugs to you!!
I think I may have this. I've never had a suicidal thought but I'm constantly trying to hide my sadness. I guess the silver lining to this tragedy is awareness. Rip Cheslie
You won't believe how many people live like this. You are not alone.....especially in the age of social media where people only post the highlights of their lives.
That actually AIDS in the problem because there is a direct contradiction in how you feel vs how you show up in real life. Nothing is more freeing than being yourself.
Be glad you realize it. Awareness is everything and the 1st step to healing.
Please seek help love, I’ve been there I’ve been in a treatment facility wanting to end my life and trust me you can recover from it if you get the help you need
Me too, it’s worth a try to seek help, I know I am and so should you. The pain of the loved ones is immense if we let go. But troubles often improve with time.
You don’t have this lol
@@laurenlocd3180 who are you to tell someone that. It’s literally people like you that are the reason for situations like this. Please log out and don’t log in again until you can be a decent person.
They say NYC is a dark, lonely place with many hanging on by a thread. This, in a weird way, reminded me of the Dorothy Hale situation. Her comment about hitting 30 and worrying that her time was running out to leave a lasting impression gives insight into how she felt about herself. I could only imagine the conversations with her therapist. This case really intrigues me because I could only be curious as to her mindset leading up to making a decision like this. It can’t be be first time. No way. I wish her family the best!
I feel the same way, it really intrigues me ):
I think you are correct but it's not as much of a mystery to me though. There are facets (directors of the USA system) of the pageant world that use the contestants that are not as strong as others- they artificially elevate them when the contestant can benefit them-- Do these directors think they are actually helping these young women🤔...maybe. I have my opinion on that but the strongest overcomers who really know who they are, are often passed up to be the top queens. If you look deep enough, you will see the patterns. I believe this artificial elevation is exactly the opposite of what the individual needs and does not end well for anyone. May Cheslie rest in peace and may God watch over her loved ones. 💔
You're right. She probably contemplated jumping off the bldg several times in the past. When people saw the happy and joyful Cheslie in public, that was just a mask she had on.
Some doctors think that if you carry on in life as usual you not depress, but some people can be depress and hurting but carry on with everyday life.
That lady was beautiful 💜🖤💚⚘🙏 sad that happened to her.
been thinking about this girl all week, for some reason her death has left me in a state of shock and mourning. she really was a shining star. it's almost as if she was too good/kind for this world..
I wish we could know what was going on in her mind that morning, through the night and for the last hour of her existence. If only someone could have been there for her, or noticed she needed help. poor girl... no more pain now. Rest in Peace, Cheslie
Unfortunately I think her pain and torment is only gonna get worse 💔
Me to, I don't even. Know her. But I'm still in shock
I don't know her but her death hit me hard. I still ask why did she take herself out? She was so beautiful & successful ❣🙏🏽
@the goldenbowl wdym?
So true. Still devastated and think about her a lot
Depression and anxiety so profound is very painful.
Our government does not include mental health in healthcare. Some people cannot afford healthcare at all. I don’t go talk to anyone because I can’t afford it. I have been dealing with high-functioning depression for at least 30 years. I know I will have my very low times. It’s scary.
Canadians have "Universal Healthcare" (which btw isn't "free" as many people profess unless they don't pay taxes) but even Canada's healthcare focuses mainly on physical healthcare and like many countries, doesn't employ mental health providers to keep pace w/the numbers of people w/mental disorders/illnesses.
One in every four Canadians is reported to suffer from some sort of mental disability. I wish you well and to remember there are people who you can call 24/7 to talk to when you're at your lowest. Don't struggle alone, please reach out when you need support.💓🌺
You are a champion love ❤️ I’m sure you have developed your own coping mechanisms to keep yourself afloat. Maybe you can share some with others. Thanks for being so strong 💪
I hope that she is now at peace. I can’t imagine what she was going through that day when she died but I give my love and condolences to her family and loved ones. I also send love to the ones who read this struggling with their Mental Health. Please seek help and know you aren’t alone in your struggles.
But we really are alone except for God. I know besides God and my daughter no one else really cares all that much about me at all. It’s only words. Cheslie was actually very much alone. If she had felt support, maybe she would still be here. So many people tell me “you’re not alone,” but in the past two years during the worst pain of my life I have those that say this to me are being dishonest, because the proof is in the action.
It's sad and heartbreaking 💔 to say but I don't think she's at peace...and she probably never will be if anyone understands where I'm coming from 😐
Thanks so much for your message, Erik. I am just one of the many folks who struggle with mental illness. Fortunate that I have help from both the psychologist and the psychiatrist. Definitely the psychologist who I can contact if I feel down.

So sad, life really just begins at 30😥God Bless Chelsie's beautiful soul.
But to her turning 30 was the worst thing in life. Stop glorifying people that don't even want to be here. This is a teaching moment, but I'm not going to call her inspirational.
I resonate with high functioning depression. As a woman and POC in corporate America, I was constantly sheilding off microagressions, unwanted sexual overtures, and more. I was lucky to get help, professional. I tried a few before finding the one for me. Please don't give up. There's always a solution. RIP beautiful soul Cheslie 🙏❤️💫
Thank you for sharing your honest story of struggle and strength! You inspire me to keep going...You are not alone 🙏🏽💕
I'm so happy that you overcame...God bless you and may He keep you all the days of your life...🙂♥️
Unfortunately, there isn't always a solution.
Imagining fake "aggressions" seems to be an increasing problem for a lot of people. Seems to be a form of paranoia.
@@cherismith6366 Exactly the sad part is that not everyone will even want the help. For some people death is their option. It’s sad to hear but it’s the reality.

It's sad but I don't think she's resting in peace right now 💔
She is so accomplished! Shes the only Miss Universe USA that’s very well known and recognized cos of her work with Extra and co-hosting other shows! Alot of people knew who she was! So heartbreaking to see such a strong and inspirational Queen gone too soon! RIEP 👑 💕
You are indeed very shallow. No matter who you are in life, a king or homeless with nothing or everything, every life matters! Hope you get it.
Not to mention she was also a lawyer but stop practicing law
Rip chelise. Finally I can put a word to how I have been feeling. (Functional depression) Often times I can make it through the day but I'm suffering .
Seriously go see a therapist. It might not seem like you need to but it’s important.
@@des8336 I will do thank you so much.

Your life matters so very much. Pray. Read your bible. Listen some gospel music. Watch tv. Anything to get you out of the dark pit of depression. God bless you! You are loved by many and by God who made you. Reach out to HIM! EVERY LIFE MATTERS!🙏💕🌹💓
Wishing you all the best, and sending prayers your way. Please stay strong 🥺.
I don't know why this is hitting me so hard. I didn't even know her. I don't follow pageants or watch extra. I think maybe it's cuz she literally had everything. She had everything now and so much more in store for her. I feel so sad for her mother.
Same here 😥
Me too. Its like you look at her and can't believe she was unhappy.
you have everything when you have a relationship with GOD.
i hear you plus i can't imagine how horrific the last moments must have been for this beautiful lady. WHY ? do these things have to happen. RIP SWEET LADY
I don't know why either. You probably didn't know who she was until she was dead
I just wish someone could have been with her and got her help. I suffer with depression and anxiety the one time I thought of taking my life was as a teen, now at 39 I just pray and I see a therapist.
Hate to stay this but that's why I smoke weed..life is hard help me get thru...smh....
Her biological dad said it was some family dysfunction going on…they need to give the full story that caused this young lady to jump 29 stories to her death. Whatever that pain was in the dysfunction led to depression and caused her to leave this world. It could help other families not lose someone they love.
@Ana Sofía Torres sad
Well said.
Wonderfully put!!! I agree! This isn't only "high functioning depression." From things I've heard, her mother didn't want her to work at her low wage entertainment job. She wanted her to be the high powered lawyer she studied to be! Chelsie didn't want to deal with the racism or as she put it "micro aggressions" she delt with in that industry! Too bad Chelsie couldn't simply stop listening to her mother's view of what she should do with her life. There was her sexual orientation, which I've heard her mother didn't accept! Sad all the way around! Sounds like she could have used unconditional love and she didn't have it!
@ T. J. why does every sentence with you end in an exclamation mark? And where are you getting your information? Strange.

@@mayachad8438 that's basically what was said
Such a tragic loss. Poor Cheslie. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her since I found out about this on Monday. I wish she could’ve seen what everyone else saw; a stunningly beautiful, intelligent, and accomplished woman with such a dynamic and magnetic personality. She accomplished more in her 30 years than most people accomplish in a lifetime and yet in her eyes it wasn’t enough. She was worried about getting older and becoming irrelevant. Of course thirty is still very young and she had her whole life ahead of her, but in her depressed state she couldn’t see that. I hope that Cheslie has found the peace in heaven that she was unable to find on earth. I hope that this tragedy will bring greater awareness to the need for better mental healthcare and less stigma for mental illnesses. I pray for Cheslie’s family and friends and for everyone living with depression, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness. Rest in peace precious angel. 💔
I know! I cant get over as to HOW she decided to end it..I mean suicide is not the answer but there are gentler ways to go about it than that, the fact she chose THAT way, just makes it even sadder and shows the amount of terrible despair she was in...
Accomplishments and looks unfortunately have nothing to do with mental illness or how we feel inside. The bible says, "What profits a man to gain the world and lose his soul?" Same thing here applies, what good did her accomplishment and looks do her? We are more than our external self and our accomplishments and we all better start seeing that.
I am starting to see that a lot of depression and anxiety is being around narcissistic abuse of some sort. Break free! 💯🙌🏾
This is why I support psychotropic treatment. Medicine is such a life saver in some instances. I was high functioning for a long time until it came down on me like a ton of bricks. Medicine was my savior.
True. Medication has been a god send for me too 🙏
I can’t stop thinking about her. 💔
She said may that day bring her piece. Babe girl no more pain, no more depression, no more rise high,🙏
Such a beautiful human being. The more I watch her the worst I feel about the whole situation. Depression is such a pernicious illness…it rips families apart. I have been crying over this suicide all week. Some how it just affected me in such profound ways because she had so much to give to humanity. All her achievements did not offset her sadness. I wish we can turn back the clock..,and stop 🛑 her from ending her life. Her being gone feels like something special left the earth. Cheslie if you are in spirit reading this….please understand how much love we have for you. You will be forever missed….rest up angel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Very well said Rick , I'm from Australia and I'd never heard of Cheslie until I stumbled on the news of her death and I've looked at almost everything there is to see on her .
That Denzel WAshington interview is chilling , if it he knew how much desperately she needed healing .
devastating ❤️
Look at the bright side of her story.... At least she had a chance to accomplish things. Most people have it so bad that they do it in worse conditions with no accomplishments and no one to care or even know they existed. She was loved and will be remembered.
She's also bringing attention to high functioning depression so hopefully people will seek out the help they need.
@@lwashington8534 This
Accomplishing things, in itself, shouldnt be our defining point.
It didn't make her happy, that's exactly the point! She hated her life the way it was.
I swear it's driving me crazy not knowing what she was thinking before she committed suicide.
She probably thought she wanted to end it all!
And you'll NEVER know! She took that with her to the GRAVE. Nyob
Read her essay in Allure magazine. She says it all there. But no one realized she needed help because she seemed to have everything put together. She speaks about how she wanted to seek joy. In other words, she felt a great sadness and pressure, because she felt like she was “running out of time” to leave an impression in the world. Saddest part was that she already had.
me too. I've been crying for the past week over this. it's so unsettling
How sad... RIP!
You can never really know what a person goes through! Some people may look cool, calm and collected on the outside and have a level of success some people can only dream about, yet some suffer so much pain that one has to do things, one that is unfathomable! ☹
Sister Kerry-Ann share what God showed her about this woman. She never had depression or sort of high functioning etc. They terminated her. Pls Listen to Kerry-Ann Videos.
What a beautiful soul. Like many “High Functioning” disorders, they’re hard to diagnose, especially for those who acknowledge their illness. They are literally ambassadors’ and at the forefront of their disorders. All the while, they are hiding how bad things really are. It takes one to know one. You can rest now Chelsie. You are finally at peace. 😔
My heart goes out to her mom. As a mom to a child with major depression, my worst fear is him succeeding in achieving his "end game".
I feel you mama to mama in this. Mine is 22 and it is my biggest fear. I pray for him daily
Depression is the most misunderstood illness today. Reading some of these comments prove this.
Being a people pleaser/empath can be very devastating too. She was an intelligent lady and should have reached out and seek help anonymously if preferred. It really solidifies that a life without Christ is meaningless.
I scrolled through the comments so I could find this one statement "A life without Christ is meaningless"
@@triciat8401 LOL. Hilarious. Biological depression doesn't know no religion. It is BIOLOGICAL. Jeez. Some of you should have stayed in school. SMH
I sit here, mouth agape, stunned. She was beautiful, smart and ambitious.... I am so sorry for the family and friends. Hard to believe.
I think of suicide alot of times cause I get tired of feeling like this depression is a disease it will take away your joy and not wanting to live you feel like your body trying to live but your mind is a dead and broken. My heart goes out to her. r.i.p.
I'm still so shocked over her passing. My deepest condolences to her family. May she rest in peace 🕊️🙏🏽🕊️
I wonder what was the source of her unhappiness. She looked like she had everything. Beauty, brain, success, personality, recognition.
Having everything doesn’t equate happiness.
@@rebeccacastro2525 Exactly. To the world she had everything, inside she was lacking something that she felt she couldn't escape from mentally. So sad.
@@BeautyNBrains86 That's usually the way it it. I was just wondering what that thing was. A lot of people are going through what bothered her. Sharing could really help with learning. But I know it's not easy to share.
@@BeautyNBrains86 plus I think she always was pleasing others (mom/dad) that she maybe felt she had lost her identity...based on some videos I have seen, looks like she saw 30 as being old and maybe felt needed to be married etc..obviously Im speculating but it looks like SHE FELT unfullfilled but bc she did appear to have it all, she couldnt open up and share her vulnerbilities..
all around such a sad ending..
she was so loved and had a warm personality, very sad to know her internal suffering pushed her to such drastic measures
Minus the peace of God.
It’s so sad so many people suffer from this, including me ! I hope that they start looking in to this more ! I’m sorry for all of the people who suffer from this ! It is not easy to get through and you don’t even know how many people have this problem. I myself have had to deal with this for all of my life, I am trying to get my life back on the track the way it should be... I think society puts a lot of pressure on people, be skinny, look young, for Gods sake they make you feel old when you are only 30...I say love 💕 your self no matter what! This life is only temporary, so it’s not going to last forever ♾
Thanks for sharing this medical perspective extratv. My condolences 🙏🏿
Some people have it so bad they can't or don't want to get up at all. I could never commit suicide because I'm terrified of death so that's not an option. It's a horrible feeling. I do act happy alot but I sleep alot. Chesley had done so much and it's too bad she had so many difficulties. She accomplished so much and with so much beauty inside and out. Just so very sad.
God Bless her family at this awful time. RIP Chesley 🙏💕
Both are equally difficult.
Just because one is high functioning (not in bed)
doesn't mean they are any better.
Peace be Unto you.
Good luck to us all. 🙏
@@ladyclarke9903 You are right my dear. And also it DOESN'T matter if you accomplished much or little or even nothing. Depression affects people in all walks of life and can be as deadly as cancer or AIDS/other very serious diseases!

I’ve had days where I was depressed but NEVER have I thought about jumping off a 30 story building. I’m so afraid of heights and I don’t have the courage to even do it. That’s bad
Because your depression clearly was not that bad. Real depression is waking up wanting to die, going though the day wanting to die, and going to sleep wanting to die. And its repeat everyday.
There is a major difference between being depressed and having depression.
@@brentthompson1607 exactly.
@@brentthompson1607 true. I feel like mine comes and goes due to my PCOS or just from certain situations which i get over in a few hours. Cheslie was truly depressed.
@@brentthompson1607 Exactly, there's levels to it.
There where/are many Hugh function people with depression that sadly ends with suicide. Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain where also high functioning depressed people. Sadly, it ended for them the same way.
Shocked when they both killed themselves as well. :-(
Robin Williams as well. So sad
@@rachelm.3173 He actually committed suicide because he had Lewy body dementia and it was destroying his mind and body. He didn’t want to stick around to see it get worse and worse
I've been following this story and I just want to say may she rest in peace gorgeous angel I've suffered with depression for many years and I've never heard of high functioning depression but that doesn't mean that it's not just as bad as severe depression it's just a different form I wish somebody would have knew something so she could have been helped properly I just feel sorry that she had to go through that alone because even when we do have support we still feel alone because people don't understand heart goes out to the family prayers to them if anybody is struggling with something please reach out to anybody please you matter and your life matters and you can get help and get through it it's a long battle but can get through this and I've been through similar feelings and trust me it's a daily battle but there is help out there even if it's not your family I just pray that anyone that's feeling like that gets to help that they need and hopefully it's the right help with good care
Very true. Thank you for sharing.
I love you whoever you are and always remember, telling yourself to hold on for one more day works! Your life and EVERY single LIFE matters, no matter accomplishment or no accomplishment!
I am proud of you and God loves you and is happy you are alive! Keep fighting to LIVE and NOT DIE, for the dead know not anything! Better to keep fighting, reaching out to anyone to just talk you through depressive episodes. Even text if you don't want to talk to the person, as long as they care enough to text back! If not, that's not a true friend! Build on your social network with people who will be there for you. Dependable, trustworthy people. And try reading your bible. I understand it can be hard to at times.
The bible is LIVING water! Listen to music or watch TV or just turn the radio on to distract your thoughts or feelings of depression. Read your bible even one verse or chapter. Pray. Cry out to God for help because it is he who made us and not we ourselves! He will hear you. He will save you. One day the battle will be won my dear. And always remember, with each depressive episode you overcome, it's a big win! God bless you always! With God all things are possible!🙏💕💜💕
seems like she had it all but was in pain inside this really impacted me for some reason
I'm glad they pointed out the "dark cloud and heaviness..." Anyone here ever experienced this?
Why haven’t anyone addressed if CK was on medication & what are the side effects of that medication. If that medication’s side effects are suicidal thoughts, bad dreams, anxiety & some if the person is young like CK can make their depression worse with suicidal thoughts & death. This is extreme & your daughter may never have done this if she was on medication that made her depression worse. What did they do to treat her for the 8 days & what meds if any did they give her. Someone need to speak up for her as she spoke up for others.
this is a needed topic. i have so much compassion for people who suffer with depression
So young. This is so sad. My heart really goes out to her mother during this most difficult time.❤😔
Glad they finally found the reason behind it
Although it still hurts 😢
this was very informative and it goes to show that ppl who are afflicted with depression dont show it outwardly compared to ppl who claim their suffering with it who are merely self diagnosing and doesn't realize a difference from having a bad day versus dealing with inner turmoil on a daily basis that no one understands including yourself I say that bcuz so many times we see post of ppl saying oh I'm depressed and they don't have a clear understanding of depression exactly
for some it can last for yeeeears . Chile not only we've got this and the rich variety of racism is another compounding factor . how we survive this mental assault is incredible me . fr fr .
RIP Cheslie! BB, people with depression are not NOW wondering if they have depression. Those of us that have come from the edge, know quite well its depression. More often than not its beyond depression; so check yourself...
I’ve struggled with depression for many years it’s not a choice best believe if I could be happy and normal I would ………..it’s not a easy life to live and I consider I am functional but it’s a struggle
That’s really what depression looks like beautiful soul pretty smile good personality..we can see such a young lady with bright future and really successful ending like that. It’s really sad how a big town like nyc is a dark place can put a person with that industry into depression and the pandemic and all of the story’s around these year!! 😢😢✝️❤️
I’m heart hurts hearing this! The world needs more beauty, intelligence, and kindness and she robbed us. RIP
She is truly a blessing to my eyes she inspires me to become a model/miss Canada myself😭💔 prayers to her family
High achievers, perfectionist, workaholics stay busy, stay driven.. You can be all of those things and still be an introvert. Putting up that security wall or mask to hide yourself from the world.
That's the child that you have to also keep your eye on, make special one on one time. We figure that they don't need us because of their independence but they still do. That's the friend or relative that you have to ask how are you doing? Really?
Covid-19 has really put us though a test. Being confined to your home in isolation showed us how we need interaction, Physical interaction. As simple as a hug is, it is so needed.. Just a reminder that you are not alone.. and you are enough.
Cheslie was an extraordinary young lady, I pray that her family and friends, receive the comforting support that they need🌹
inside and out, she was such a beautiful person. may she rest in eternal peace ♥️
Whoa I am so feeling this energy these past few days
Just pure grief and sadness
I hope wherever Cheslie is, she's finally at peace with herself 😔
I know how it feels to be pressured to success and keep pushing and being judged by a cover at the end of the day you should only care about your self and don’t let anyone derail your dreams ! Follow your dreams
Depression is real ...I always kept a smile while feeling dead on the inside...I even attempted suicide in my 20's I'm currently in therapy....such a beautiful young lady... You never know what a person is going through...so please be KIND to others!!!!...watch your words.
Praying for Chelsea parent and sister. We’re imperfect people. It’s ok to be vulnerable . I was suicidal but went to my son for help. Thinking I was the parent I should be the strong one . Thank you Jesus. Please don’t ever blame yourself. God needed a beauty pageant that had beauty inside and out in heaven.
How beautiful of you to be so humble as to look for help in your son! So many parents leave thinking, as Chelsie did, that they couldn’t show their weakness to their family and friends. Thank you for being an example! ❤️
Why did this have to happen? So sad! So sorry for her mom - who she was close to.
My sister killed herself I never got over it. There pain is gone. But ours never ends.rip
How could she be high functioning depressed and no one knew, not even her mom. Most of the time in your medical somewhere it's detected. She really seemed upbeat and excited about life. I saw videos about her talking to a lot of people with mental illness and talking about how she keeps her own mental awareness up. Something happen to this be beautiful queen that caused her to go overboard, perhaps pushed too far, fame, stardom, let down dreams, failed relationship or something that caused an mental snap but high functioning depression and no one knew it idk. Also in Hollywood it's alot of demonic spirits and possible one of those hopped off on her. R.I.P. beautiful Queen👑
Her mom knew. They literally said it in the clip...🤦🏾♀️
I said the same thing. Something seems off putting to me. No one knew that she was suffering or the root cause of her suffering.
As someone who struggles deeply with High functioning depression it broke my heart to hear about Cheslie. I saw the video her mother had on red table talk where she shared the last text message Cheslie sent her. What hurt me the most is that I related to absolutely everything Cheslie wrote about her emotional state. Depression is hard. It’s will push you down and make you delusional. I know first hand. Cheslie seemed she had everything. Depression is serious. And the fact that her depression was so high functioning that she didn’t show signs of it is very shocking to a lot of people. But you have to understand that there are people everywhere that are going through something and can throw a smile to face the day. Cheslie had a lot on her plate. It’s difficult to want to live when you have a brain that wants to die.
So glad you did this!!! She and her mother have been on my mind all week. God…please comfort her family in this time of need - and all others dealing with thoughts of leaving this earth
Mental healthcare should be a part of all healthcare plans, and the US Govt should make mental health coverage available to all Americans, even those who cannot afford it. Americans need this so badly!! Our country is in pain.
Lord Cheslie was such a beautiful soul!!! 💚💚💚💚💚🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It's so important to look after ourselves and take care of our mental health above everything else.
Whenever I need a break nowadays I take it, if I need 10 hours sleep I get that. If I need to go for a walk, go the sauna steam room, get a massage or ignore my calls and texts all day long, I do it.
I do what's best for MY mental health and I'm unapologetic about it.
I am so sorry Cheslie felt like life was so overbearing to the point of no longer wishing to exist in this realm. May her beautiful soul that is eternal always shine forever.
❤️❤️❤️
Government is to be blamed for this. Their failed policies are destroying people's lives.

Sometimes, a person has a tendency to pretend and to hide what he or she truly feels inside, while showing the entire world the other side and make them think that you're truly strong and amazing. But the truth is, you're tearing apart and breaking down until the truth will push you to the limit and, even take your own life. You have to really validate what you truly feels and what you're going through.
So sad.😩
Let’s please be mindful about verbiage : there is no clinical diagnosis called high functional depression .
Do people not understand how depression works? It doesn’t matter how attractive you are, how much money you have, how much power and influence you have, etc. You can still want to die with all that if you struggle with depression
Sincere condolences to the family for the loss of a daughter that left a great legacy. A great role model and I am amazed at her achievements at a young age. Momma and Dad I pray that the Lord will comfort you and the rest of your family through this time.
Living a life on thi earth, even if you a Christian is hard. We hide and can hide very well our pain. Then we put up a facade to reflect that we doing well, yet we struggling so badly. I do believe because the world judge and that is our greatest fear.
I know that her death will not be in vain, it will bring awareness too many to seek help. Much love X
This is heart wrenching. A wake up call to check on our folks. Peace upon the family. 💕 and 🕯️.
There is no DSM diagnosis called "high functioning depression". There are a number of depression disorders including Persistent Depressive Disorder (formerly known as Dysthymia) which is a low level depression kind of a chronic melancholy, and those who have it can operate with little to no impact on daily functionality. I don't think she had this, she seemed more acute, Bipolar 2 shows up as agitated/elevated mood (hypomania) and very deep depressive mood which happens a lot more frequently than a hypomanic mood/episode; it is very different from Bipolar 1. Can be very difficult to cope with if unmedicated or rapid cycling; I clearly don't know what she has, just wanted to offer more perspective on actual diagnoses from the DSM. Blessings to her and her family.
I was thinking the same thing regarding the DSM “manual.”
Maybe it’s like a highly functional alcoholic or crackhead a lot of ppl walk around high or drunk but they go to work and handle there business. I mean idk I just got a high school diploma y’all are more educated in this than me.🤷🏽♀️ just threw my 2cents in.
I thought the same. I don’t see cheslie as the kind of woman who will let critics get to her at a point where she wanna end her beautiful life. Maybe she was misdiagnosed, the more I follow her story, the more I think about a bipolar disorder that can explain her wonderful accomplishment and when the lowest part appeared, she made the most drastic decision ever. I’m so sad for her, may God bless her soul
I have manic depression but I could never take my life because I know it would hurt my family so much. Therapy works well along with medication. Sounds like she really needed both. The hardest part is putting up a happy face it hurts so much on the inside! 🙏 to her family and I wish she had gotten help.😢
This is so sad. She was so gorgeous inside out. Gosh why didn’t she ask for help. This is a terrible tragedy. Thi country has a huge problem with mental health assistance. Less military founding and better mental health assistance
Maybe no one was listening to her.
It was said that she had a therapist or counselor
this is so sad i would see Extra interviews & had no idea that this was her. Rest In Paradise beautiful soul✨
Sometimes it’s best not to be blessed with being an overachiever. It’s too much pressure for a person to handle. The anxiety about never being enough must be insane.
A healthy mental health is a must to survived in this thing that we call life!!Peace of mind,contentment and acceptance of what we have now and make the most of it !!
Im from Brazil and my friend and I knew her from Instagram and she was like our Miss Influencer. I connected to her because in my head we looked alike haha and we both mixed and she was so successful and a inspiration 💘
When my friend said she was dead by suicide I was SO SHOCKED!!!! 😭😭😭😭 I STILL shocked....... sometimes when I'm on Instagram I remeber about her and go check her posts I never thought it was going to happen
My baby girl. How my heart breaks it really breaks. I never knew her personally yet this is such a global experience a pandemic even. How I wish we saw your pain and tried to extinguish it.
Her last tweet says everything🙏💔
What a beautiful gift to the world, she was. I'm So sad that she left this world in such an abrupt manner. Please keep sharing her story to help others in need. Prayers for comfort and peace to her family. 🕊🙏🏼
Sometimes depression could be from the result of being vitamin B deficient. I found this out personally. Now I try to make sure that I just take a super complex B vitamin a day. I wonder if she was lacking vitamin B? This is so sad. Vitamin D3 and K2 mk7 is good also.
I keep coming back to this girl's story. So 💔
All do respect and my prayers and condolences are with the Family, Friends and Fans of Cheslie, RIP. I would like to understand if Cheslie was ever formerly diagnosed with this High- Functioning Depression by a Doctor/ Physician and if there were medications she was taking prior to Suicide. Other than just hearing about what may have been the cause, Cheslie was so well spoken and so much to look forward to with all her achievements. So far all the indicators point to her happiness and well being not someone that was having issues or suffering from Depression which is usually associated with sadness, and hopeless feelings. Nothing was said about phone calls, txt msg, Apartment, Friends etc,significant other, ?foul play, music, who last saw her, . Cheslie's last Instagram message" I hope this day brings you rest and Peace ,Heart Emoji". How is that possible for any one of us or followers if suicide was intended?
My sentiments, exactly:-) I will never ever believe that she took her own life. Never ever!!!!!
Saddened to hear this to such a beautiful, bright woman. She put a lot of pressure on herself

She was afraid of what people will think about her aging, it's so sad to live a life under the spot light, she turned 30 and focus on that one thing, poor thing may she rest in peace 🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻
She lived a very exciting and eventful life! She hid everything better than I could ever dream of doing, if I had been dealing with emotions as heavy as she. Cheslie was a very strong woman. Very determined and sure of her intentions. She was very focused and walked in the power of self determination.
That Cheslie Kryst. Wow. I still respect her. I refuse to look or “feel some kind of way” towards her because of her decision to exit the planet like she did.

Rest In Peace, all the wonderful things you did in this life, live on, for us to learn from and enjoy! ❤️✨
I'm JUST talking about myself here, not Cheslie, so don't misinterpret what I'm saying. I had a soap opera life since I was 8 in my family. Won't go into details, but let's say in the decade of what happened coming from a divorced family was rare. I was truly the only one that I knew who did, which made me feel cheated & less than. (early sixties) My Dad started another family immediately & I had to blend in or not see him. I had A LOT of pressures growing up, and not being as "successful" as my siblings, it was made obvious too. I always had underlying depression & acted out on it in other ways. I haven't had the best life or the worst. My son was my "gift" that has & still is keeping me going. After taking care of my Mom for 14 years & watching her pass slowly in a nursing home for way too long, I was diagnosed with incurable cancer which is painful both mentally & physically. Then the pandemic showed it's ugliness & cruelty & I just about could keep myself together. It's been a nightmare, and I'm struggling with it, but I still wouldn't take my own life. My son is my light...it ain't easy...
RIP 🙏 Cheslie beautiful Queen
