I am about the same age and thought the blues I had was from the “change of life”. Even if she “partied”,I’m sure that “the change” is going on with her too, which doesn’t help. Depression sucks. I wish her the best and hope she is okay.

I just love Heather. I remember being up late at night in the 80’s to watch her on Dynasty. To still respect a woman like that is awesome, to still have her deserve my respect is empowering! Hope you feel better Heather and my good thoughts are with you.

Well…with all due respect, I sought treatment in the late 90s for mild depression, and I never had suicidal thoughts of any kind until they put me on depression meds. After a matter of just 3-4 weeks on the first pill, my depression symptoms ramped up into reclusive behavior, overwhelming lethargy, and anxiety/panic attacks that brought serious suicidal symptoms. I was scared out of my mind during that time because I went from “a little blue” and being proactive by seeking some professional advice…to being a raving manic lunatic with no desire to live. After trying three different meds over a reasonable period of time (nearly a year), it was concluded that I was reacting poorly to the drugs and they took me off. 3 months after being taken off the pills…voila! No more suicidal impulses or deep depression. The meds help LOTS of people, but for some folks, the brain chemistry does NOT react well to that class of medication. It can and DOES cause suicidal behavior and an exascerbation of depression symptoms in some patients. For me, behavioral modification therapy and some breathing techniques that I learned from my therapist…coupled with pilates and yoga…did the trick. I hope that Ms. Locklear really got the help she needed..and good for her for seeking it. Depression is such a waste of life.

She’s been through a lot of crap recently. My prayers go out to her. I’m sure she now has the ability to make a comeback. I hope it will be on a new nightime soap where her character is all kinds of bitchiness. Just in time to save us from the deluge of reality TV. When is this reality TV gonna end? Huh? The American economy will bring us all back to fantasy soaps and I hope Heather will be there to bring it on. Go Heather, go.

Just to clear up, depression medicine can’t GIVE you suicidal thoughts. What happens is that you start taking them and you get more energy - in some cases causing people to act upon EXISTING suicidal thoughts, where they previously didn’t have the energy to execute those plans.

She seems like such a class act. I hope she’s in a better place now.
