‘Extra’s’ Cheslie Kryst had interviewed celebrities like Gabrielle Union and Mary J. Blige about their struggles with mental health ahead of her own passing. Authorities believe she took her own life.
I remember struggling with the fact that im watching myself slowly be extinct, but as we get older and gain more experience we learn to love this one life and the simple act of sitting and breathing is such a blessing because many can't do that. Hang in there tight.
“Slowly be extinct” I think I can say we all battle with death in our minds. Same for me, like who wants to die and the thought of it can and is scary. In the natural, one can look at the fact we live to die. However, there is a future and a hope in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ not only defeated satan, but sin and death. He lived a sinless life; a perfect one. Died on the cross, was buried, and rose on the third day. He died for our sins and bought us with a price. By faith, we believe Jesus died for all our sin and His sacrifice is completely sufficient. Now, as Paul mentions. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ in me. The life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself for me. For now, as Christians we walk by faith, not by sight. Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon His name while he is near. God Bless everyone who reads this. Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.
WOW I know exactly what you mean. And she didn't have to put on it, but she did. Who knows for how many years. She was screaming inside constantly. I wish I knew her, because 2 years ago I was just like her. Putting on a show! But I got free!
I've seen this before. Matter of fact I can think of 3 different women I've met who fit this profile. Where they put on big smiles, they laugh a lot, they're very cheerful & excited. But when you get to know them you find out they're living in fear, or they're depressed, or something. But for sure you find out it's all an act. I mean now a days when I see a woman performing too hard I know that she's either covering up something, or she's reaching out, or maybe both.
Being an overachiever and conquering the world is not healthy. LIVE. Be free, without the need to achieve, be validated or prove anything. Self fullfillment and happiness comes from within, not from society's expectation. RIP Chelsie.
I agree. I'm closing in on a second undergrad science degree, and probably 10th year of enrollment and one thing is becoming really apparent: the majority of "achievements" of this kind are based on a lot of artificial difficulty. I wish I didn't have to demonstrate my proficiency over and over, in what is realistically like 70+ three hour courses. Some contests are based on winning a genetic lottery as a minimum starting point. There's that whispered "vanity...vanity" after any achievement, but it helps if its your own expectation. I really, really wish she hadn't jumped and this didn't keep happening. Hardly a free society if its that common to be pushed by that much expectation, with so little actual guidance.
I agree. I was miserable in my 20s because I was so focused on external validation - Achieving a high-earning career, house, car, husband, etc. I was living my life to please others and check all those boxes that society tells us we need to fulfil in order to be successful. I was burning my candle at both ends and ultimately ended up in the hospital for exhaustion. I could no longer keep up the hustle and I felt like a failure, to the point of wondering if I was better off dead for no longer being a productive member of society. When the pandemic hit, I started looking within myself and realized that I truly longed for a simple life, to live as a human being and not a robot. My life started slowing down as I began to appreciate the little things around me. I am happy with my humble house, older car, thrifted clothes, because these things do not nourish my soul. Now that I am in my 30s, I have a feeling that life is just beginning for me. We need to stop valuing people based on their productivity. You are a human being and therefore you are enough. Sometimes, just existing is enough. We weren't meant to spend our lives slaving away at a corporate job. We were meant to spend time with our loved ones, to savor meals, to gaze at the night sky in wonderment. Moreover, life is not a competition. We are all connected and therefore we are better off when others are better off.
yes i was so so so miserable when i lived for my family. i am not blaming her parents, but her dad would make her and her siblings run track although they didnt like it. her mom was in pageants so maybe she felt like she had to do the same.
She was in a dark place and masked it so well. That's why it is so shocking. Everyone have so much lovely things to say about her. She was an amazing humanbeing on the outside yet suffered deeply in silence. RIP young lady, you will be missed.
Many are still doing this the stigma about mental health makes depression so easy to mask. Just smile and pretending that your ok. But deep inside we are fighting a fight and it’s very lonely and sad.
@@vhpfatpat32xx39 pointing fingers at others and blaming, especially when they are no longer here, is a greater sin. Let her rest in peace for God sakes
@@vhpfatpat32xx39 Idiocy! Firstly, we ALL sin and are sinners. Each n every one of us, so your point is null n void there. Second, YOU CAN'T and DON'T know a person's heart, their personal pain, struggles, the darkness they cannot escape. No one knows if she had a terrible chemical, hormonal or other imbalance that caused a skewed view or a sudden impulse. Ffs you know nothing...for all we know a goddamn demon could have pushed her. We really DONT KNOW what we DON'T KNOW! I'm not religious per se ( largely due to ppl like you).. One thing is certain tho the Creator loves his creation. If someone is hurting, He would not punish them further. They are already broken and in such immeasurable pain that they could take no more. So the disgusting judgment and view behind saying suicide is a sin served what purpose? It sounds the opposite of Godly or Christlike. It sounds judgmental and heartless. RIP baby girl. May your loved ones find peace knowing you are not being tormented by sadness any longer. That the peace of God cradles you and protects you in a loving embrace. In sleep, or in Angelic presence whatever it is - clearly she was a beautiful light and would remain so.

Living alone in NYC during winter, & during a Pandemic is very lonely & draining. On top of that she constantly faced anti-blackness in the Modeling & Legal Industries. She seemed to have been living her life to make everyone else happy, & constantly lived under the pressure to be perfect because everyone loved her perfection, & everyone always expected her to keep doing more & more. She seemed to pursue Law to please her Dad, & Modeling to please her Mom. However internet bullies, & racists shamed her for being “short”, “old”, “too muscular”, “too black” & “benefiting from affirmative action”. She never got to live her life for herself. As a child she started living her life for her parents, she had to live up to the White Beauty standard, she had to be a Champion for Black People, she had to be a lawyer/mba, then she had to be society’s “Hollywood feel good influencer”, & criminal justice hero. In one Ear she had her “supporters” setting their expectations of her to always be a perfect, perky, superwoman. In the other Ear her critics made her feel inadequate & unqualified in all of her achievements. She was trapped between 30 years of Expectations to be Perfect & 30 years of Cruel Criticism. She lived under a microscope for 30 years, being judged & pressured in every aspect of her existence by a selfish society driven by vanity. Parents & society need to stop living vicariously through children & celebrities. No one owes their life to anyone else. I’m sorry she suffered, I’m sorry she didn’t have mental freedom, I’m sorry this world drained her amazing light. REST IN PEACE CHESLIE KRYST!
I've read a lot of comments about the suicide of Cheslie Kryst. Many have been totally lacking in empathy, just plain ignorant and/or suggesting bizarre conspiracy theories. Yours has been one of the few that, without having known Cheslie, seem to speak to the struggles she faced in life. Thank you for your insightful, compassionate post. I pray that her soul has found the peace she wasn't able in life.
Cheslie seemed to ask others about how they dealt with mental health, not just as a corespondent , but also as a person looking for insight into their own mental health. Idk. It’s just a feeling I get watching her. Maybe it’s because I have sadly lost people I care about this way, and now I’m always looking out for the signs. Check in on your people 💚
Facts..thats what I peeped too..cuz when you struggle with something,it's typical to be curious to see how others deal with it..man,mental turmoil sucks..she was gone too soon 😔🕊
Yes she kept asking others but was really looking for the answer for herself. Sadly the entertainment industry is filled with fake people and superficiality. I rather talk to a person on the street than some fake entertainer.
The first thing society needs to do is quit critiquing women's bodies ad nauseum. And we need to speak up when we see it happening. It should be disapproved behavior.
Crazy how that person at home who needed those words of encouragement was Cheslie 🥺❤️ her asking Gabrielle about suicide & mental health is so chilling
I think that she was murdered. This is my observation. She was very close to her family and friends. And she doesn't leave a note as to why she did it to her mom? She seemed to be a threat to the New York Marxist politics. Because of her intelligence, her charm, and her ability to used the law in order to protect people from Unconstitutional policies, I think they saw her as a contender to become something big in politics. She was working on the criminal justice reform that incarcerated minorities in the US. The bill was introduced by Joe Biden back in the 90s. But Trump change that with the "first Step Act" bill to release people from long term sentences due to incarceration for minor crimes. Someone needs to reopen her case and take a second look.

It's hard to believe that she had what many consider "everything," yet this happened. Life is tough, and sometimes the smiles are plasters for the world.
When your suffer depression nothing you have matters, you cannot feel happy with it, the sadness is so strong within. To fight with your mind everyday and to lose interest and don’t enjoy things anymore. Just going around faking happiness and at night crying yourself to sleep is tough be strong my sisters and brothers never stop fighting.
@@LUXURYPREMIER yes it’s awful I need a friend and a safe place to say how I’m feeling 🤗they want to keep you safe but that’s what I’m dealing with every day
Cheslie seemed lonely, discontented. She may have had fears living all by herself in NY. She had long established her credentials but what she may have wanted was fame and very rich means to happen suddenly to elevate her status, especially after being inspired by & rubbing elbows with of her peer female celebrities.
A friend of mine took her life because she was always a high achiever. In college it got to her and she threw herself into coming train. Omg I couldn’t stop crying for weeks. She left school during lunch break. I left school early that day. I remember having talks with her that everything regarding school will be fine. Not to over think exams etc. She wanted to keep up her image of being high achiever. Nothing is worth losing your life over. The real thing wealth is health and true peace of mind. Anyone struggling please reach out
Incredibly sorry for the loss, its so sad to think that people who struggle internally feel so alone and think that this is the only way to escape their pain.
AND CHRIST JESUS SAID: WHAT SHOULD IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THIS WHOLE WORLD AND DIES AND LOOSES HIS SOUL OR WHAT SHALL HE GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL SOUL ??? WHERE WILL UOU SPEND ETERNITY ????
Her statement that said she was concerned about turning 30 and that it was a point where she didn't think she would matter in society. Trying to fit into this society will definitely cause mental health issues. Stop trying to fix into society and pleasing other people that is not what you were created for. This is why so many people that have achieved certain levels of success feel disappointed when they realize that those achievements are not a part of their inner core identity. I love her and I miss her and I don't even know her and I wish I could spend 5 minutes with her before she made that final decision I would have tried to let her envision of future with her presence blessing and being blessed rest in Peace Angel
CK: Running out of time to matter in society eyes. I felt that😔. As a 38 year old that has been dealing with mental illness 20+ years (SA, PTSD, Major Deppression).. This world can be a cold cold lonely place but Please Try and seek Therapy. I take life one day at a time. This sounds cliche but just know that you are not a lone in this struggle and this too shall pass. 🙏❤ RIP Cheslie Kryst 🕊
That's true i also have suicidal issue but still i manage not to end my life because im afraid in our god. I'm shy to open up with my family and friends i just keep it inside
Check on your friends even if they seem happy and okay. People who have chronic depression are good at hiding it because it’s a survival tactic to get by in life. R.I.P. Cheslie 💙🕊 wish you were still with us.
your statement makes no sense, you've just written that people are good at hiding mental health problems so asking someone to open up is ..... errrr pointless. The only ones who will open up about being mentally unstable are millennials who are looking for attention like their 'influencer' heroes
@@chipbuttytime3396 If her statement makes no sense to you the kinder thing to do would be to ask for further explanation. Let’s cultivate communication and conversation so we can all understand each other better.
The way she carried herself reminds me of Robin Williams. He made everyone laugh, but he was in so much pain, which ultimately led to him taking his own life
I know this all too well. I was a suicidal teen who was also the class clown. No one knew I was a ticking time bomb waiting to to explode. Out of ignorance I asked God to help me end it all but God intervened and helped me to live. Now I’m on a mission to help others. Suicidal ideation is so tricky because your thoughts seem so justified in the moments of contemplation. You really do feel as though no one cares or will understand and on the flip side of the coin you also feel as though you don’t need to say anything because your mind is made up. Please overlook all grammatical errors and run ons. I am not great with grammar but had to get my point out. This just saddens me because I know how it feels to laugh and be the light for everyone else when deep down inside you’re battling with darkness all around. If you are reading this and can relate please get help. Your thoughts aren’t rational when you’re depressed. Also please be selective in who you speak to because not everyone can help or handle your challenges properly. It takes a strong, empathetic person with a deep connection to God and an expert who understand mental health issues to help you break free. You are loved, you are valued and if you push past this you’ll discover just how amazing you are. If this beautiful young angel could speak she would probably say it wasn’t worth it. Please get help. 🙏🏽
I understand everything you just said and wasn't at one time looking at the grammar. This touched the heart for me too because I was suicidal and just got over it two years ago. God intervened and saved me !
I am 50. I can't imagine thinking it was over at 30 or being afraid of aging especially at that age. It's clear with all her accomplishments, she didn't see her own true value.
@@edydon yes and especially if you are a black woman like she was you get judged more harshly on your looks than most women…I also think it’s the entertainment industry environment that is probably super critical and especially very judgmental about looks that makes people end up like this. That’s why so many entertainers die young. :(
You shouldn't base your value strictly on accomplishments, and people's opinion of you. For you have to see the power, and beauty within yourself. I mean you should feel like a champion even if you're a bum living in a trash can. Just as long as you have value within yourself, and you know it.
I just don't understand.. she was a lawyer, it's not like she was a super model where they throw you out once you hit 30.. ,,but either way, there's so many things you can do .. all those hosts she worked with, were like 2 times her age and they still killing it
This is so heartbreaking to watch. I did not know about her but she was such a bright light in the world and the fact that we lost her is so devastating.
ARE YOU ON DRUGS ???? THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS CHRIST JESUS AND WITHOUT HIM, YOU WILL DIE AND GO TO A CHRISTLESS HELL !!! IT IS SO TRAGIC AND PAINFUL WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT YOUNG LADY, BUT WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY ??? LUKE 16:19-31.
Just watching this right now brings me to tears. And to be honest, I had no idea who this woman was until a few days ago like everyone else. I feel like if she just had someone to really talk to, this unforeseen tragedy would have never taken place.....REST IN PEACE !!
I seen her maybe once before, but I still didn't know anything about her. So I too am just now finding out about who she was. But r.i p. Ms. Cheslie Kryst.
She had people who she could have spoken too, but those demons had her bound, locked her mind up and convinced her into thinking nobody would listen or understand. They put her in isolation
I’m 47 now and was diagnosed with depression at 16. The struggle is so real, without therapy I wouldn’t be here and it’s a struggle to stay in this world daily. I pray for her family and all the families out there suffering from someone who’s committed suicide.
While therapy is helpful you need to understand depression is not what God wants for you. Its the devil who is trying to take you down by these encompassing you in negative feelings and thoughts. Please with a pure heart ask God for guidance and He will intervene.
@@etyopiawit it's definitely demons who try and convince people to take their lives away. It's dark energy. We need to be positive and just be a better person everyday to get good Karma. Anyways God Bless you.
Why is extra doing this report with such excitement. This is a dead person. Something smells here. I agree. The cops need to give out a report on this. Was it really a suicide and have the report truly investigated. This might be another Robin Williams case or this might be another sick killer out in New York. This sort of death has got to stop. People got to get smart now.
@@LittleChessMates I smelled something fishy on Sunday. There's a lot of coincidences surrounding this case. You're absolutely right...there could be a killer on the loose right now! We want answers!
I struggle with depression and anxiety daily. I’m on 2 meds that help me tremendously. I let those close to me know when I’m having a bad day so they check on me. I’m in therapy, have been since 2001. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I have never had suicidal thoughts, but I isolate from people. RIP Cheslie Kryst.
I can remember really struggling mentally as I approached my 30's. I can so relate to where Cheslie wrote about her fear of "...running out of time to matter in society's eyes...". The older we get, the more society marginalizes us, particularly women. It's like you're pushed aside because you're not young anymore. It almost feels like simply aging is some kind of crime. I think people WANT to reach out when they're struggling with their mental health, but that can be a very tricky thing to do. Society expects us to be always on point. Suck it up, hold your head up, stop feeling sorry for yourself, the sun will come out tomorrow and on and on and on. My heart goes out to Cheslie. Life holds SO many questions, with very few answers. She seemed like such a wonderful, caring, giving person. I wish she could have found a way out of the darkness. But, hopefully, her soul has found peace now. Be kind, because everyone you meet is going through something, no matter how on top of the world they may seem to be.
They were her expectations. Trying to pretend you don't care and blaming "society" is just a lie weak people use to excuse their own cares. There is no whole society that feels many different ways so just because she zoned in and listened to some people who feel like she was too old, that is her problem. She obviously felt the same and was insecure about getting older and therefore when she heard her insecurities echoed from others, no matter what she heard of the contrary she had the mindset that fit with her insecurities. You can call it depression but anyone like that is going to be depressed with being in the public eye and listening to the criticism of others. If all people were this thin skinned we wouldn't have any progress. All the black people and other minorities that were abused, called names and continued to strive in a world that hated them because they had hope and it wasn't established in the perspective of others. Without God, there is no hope.

Oh wow I remember fighting mental health in college in the dorm.. I even remember just feeling so suicidal.. when I moved out to my own apartment it was perfect timing . It was like something was pulling on me in that space…I fought and I fought.. but the sad thing is that challenge started in high school but college almost did me in now I take it one day at a time . And I wake up every morning saying I choose to be happy!!! Everyday is a fight but stay prayed up and now I realize the closer to God I am the less I have or need to fight.. I am open to support anyone who maybe going through this . By trade I am a nurse practitioner.. but my purpose is to let people know who are depressed that God words will always carry you through.. pick up your Bible …and read
Your statement really touched my heart. I was where you were. I am also a nurse practitioner and had everything going for me but I was not happy. But glory to God 🙌🏽 I found a great therapist and with her help and knowing my God loves me and reading His word, I know I can make it through.

We really don’t know what people are going through. They can seem so happy and bubbly on the outside, but so empty on the inside. It’s really scary. Always check in with people who seem so happy. May the beautiful Cheslie Kryst Rest In Peace!
Yeah I had a teacher who was well known and loved in my hometown.super friendly, social and a ladies man.When he hanged himself in a hospital bathroom (after the first attempt by taking rat poison failed),to say that we were all shook would be an understatement.

So, so sad. Life truly just begins around 30. Whether it was excessive stress or the pandemic, you never know what's going on inside someone's mind & heart. I wish she could have reached out for help. God bless her beautiful soul in heaven.
Honestly, I can't imagine someone with a loving and supporting family committing suicide. I've seen cases close to me where the family acts so shocked but when the person was alive all the signs were there and were abusive. For instance, a young woman who had tried to commit suicide twice before and when she was finally successful the third time, they went around saying that someone killed her. I think that for some families it's easier to say that than admit they saw the signs and did nothing because unconsciously they feel guilt. Actually all the suicide cases I've personally seen were of people who came from very abusive, unstable or just all around awful families. I know nothing about Cheslie's situation and maybe it had nothing to do with it, I just feel weirded out when people talk about the families hurting because in the cases I've personally seen, the families were a major factor in the decision, saw the signs and underestimated their abuse. I think more about Cheslie and the amount of suffering she had to be in to climb that building and let her body fall into destruction. Trust me, people forget so easily and the truly sad thing is that no one in her family will ever understand the pain she was in to make that decision. That is truly painful. Her family most likely will be fine after a while.
@@barb6868 As a person who also struggles with depression, yes, I agree suicide is selfish especially if you have people who will suffer because of it but depression does really blind you and doesn't let you reason or see the reality how it is, what I think though is that it was much easier for her to access the necessary help. Therapy is expensive and certainly a privilege that most people can't afford, but still it is such a sad thing that she passed.
She was teaching out to so much people about her struggle with mental health. Everyone that she spoke to was just nothing but how do you cope with mental health. She was using that kind of platform to try and get help. But no mone noticed. Because she hid it do well beneath her beauty. She sure was teaching out for help. It's so sad. Such a beautiful young woman. My heart goes out to her mom and her family.
@@kobiecamp1134 it's more of a typo than a grammatical error, they're more than likely using their phone keyboard and you knew exactly what they meant. 🙄
I honestly believe Cheslie started suffering in the pageant world. People aged shamed her because she got Miss USA at 28 I believe. The pageant world always makes women feel they are not good enough until the win. What would be next after winning ? I think she was trying to live up to her mom&family’s expectations of her instead of her own. She wasn’t practicing law because I don’t think she ever wanted to. She was probably one of those women that wanted to be an actress and it wasn’t a practical career choice. It’s easy to fake it until you feel like you’re dying inside. At 30 a woman feels the pressure to get married and start having kids. Maybe it was just too too much for her. Now she is gone and has no more expectations to live up to. I think that what her last post was, I hope you have rest and peace, because that’s what she wanted.
Yup that was my first guess. I turn 29 tomorrow and I am a bit anxious about being that woman in her 30s whose constantly stressed about the whole marriage and kids thing but I don't allow it to consume me because I've seen how it's depressed some of my older friends and I'd just hate to be that unhappy🙁
@@omphilemoerane2569 don’t let the pressures of a husband and children make you feel like your have failed life or being a woman. Dating and finding a mate that is husband/father material is hard these days. I had to tell my parents it’s not the same world you grew up in with the marriage and kids combo. Lol I’m 43 not married. However, my friends that are envy my life. Most of them feel like that settled plus they have kids and almost feel like they have to stick it out. Happiest Birthday 🎂 by the way. I realized people only post the best parts of their life on social media. Remember people only show you, what they want you to see.
@@JuiceJ443 thank you so much for this enlightenment 😊 I will always keep everything you have shared with me in mind. And thank you for the birthday wishes as well❤️
@@omphilemoerane2569 how many of those "married" women are happy all of the time..being married/having kids is just part of being fullfilled but its not the ticket to eternal happiness
Bless her heart. No one knows what darkness the stranger next to you may be consumed by or ruled by. This is why we should never judge. I hope she is now free from the weights of her pains and chains that she silently carried behind her beautiful & infectious smile.
She had the complexion, for the protection, for the collection, she wasn't overweight or poor so it just isn't us dark skinned woman that struggle to fit in....our light skin Sisters are suffering in complete silence. I wish she would have told someone anyone with all the questions she was asking, God will take care of her now. May God bless this 🙏🏿world 🌎we live in.
I knew her age had something to do with it. The day I turned 35 last June things has been different since. Knowing the biological clock is ticking also, will no longer be fertile soon . It's scary , most of my old friends and classmates are married. I am not. She was already so far in life though. This thing is spiritual, almost everybody is suffering with some sort of mental illness or drug problem . Suicide is even claiming the babies lives out there. No prayer in schools , take God out of the equation and you will see a disaster .Anyone struggling get help, but give it to God thats the only answer.🙏🙏
so true but my life is totally different then the norm if you want to call it that. getting married and having kids or whatever society says we should do does not make it right. I am 62 and never had children and don't have a college degree. so what? everyone is a unique individual and that is ok. We shouldn't compare ourselves to others because that only brings depression, and a false belief of what we should be.
As someone battling depression myself, I only wish I knew Cheslie personally and had a friendship with her so strong that we could tell each other our deepest, darkest secrets. I wish we knew each other well enough to have a mutual trust so powerful that if either one of us even considered taking one’s own life, we would reach out to each other and just talk, cry, or do whatever needed to be done to bring each other out of that darkness. I had no idea who she was or what she accomplished prior to now, but I wish I could have been the one she reached out to so she could pour her heart out to if she was fighting an internal battle she wasn’t sure she’d win. And now, as I’m going through a rough time personally, as I close my eyes I see her spirit. I see her bright brown eyes filled with tears, as she tearfully tells me to stay strong and reach out for help if I feel myself slipping. I’m sorry, Cheslie. I wish you and I were close friends, and I wish I could have saved you.
Powerful and compassionate words! Those of us who knows personally, the darkness of depression could have been her trusted and loyal friends. I think she would have been grateful for your friendship… if only she could have reached for one more day!

I struggled with depression because physically as you get older, you don't feel like your normal you. It was tough, but I have kids so I had to be strong for them during that time. However, I think like she said once you turn 30 you feel like your running out of time and I also think she had accomplished so much that nothing was any value to her anymore
@@blu3j00Ls faith is very important. It doesn't matter if it's Christianity or other beliefs, even working with nature or doing charity work. God extends to something higher than our limitations as humans. It's a concept to aspire and look up to and gives you hope. It's good to have that in your life.
She was doing waayyy too much! I loved her. And this made me sad. But, we have to take care of ourselves. Just because you are young and strong. Doesn't mean you should take on a million things at once. Protect your mental health! You are not a machine! She was depressed. She was an Attorney. She was on "Extra". She was a Board member of several organizations giving a million speeches. Flying all over the country. She had a blog. Was developing a fashion line. And active on Instagram and Tik Tok where she was constantly trolled with people (who were jealous and hateful) to kill herself! And she was writing a book. This sounds like the "mania side" of Bi-polar Depression. And is obviously deadly. All of that is enough to cause someone to self-terminate. We have to take care of ourselves. Slow down. And not take on too much. We are not machines. Rest in Peace beautiful, smart Queen!
This shows us how social media effects on young people, trying to live up to the perfect standards in life and feeling bad about your self because your feel like you can’t look like all the fake photos they post. May God bless her family 😞❤️
This breaks my heart 💔 😢😢 I am someone whose been in her shoes.I struggle and was suicidal too.I had to fight it and seek help.I am glad I did and there is no looking back for me.Her death has given me a wake up call.That we need to speak out more.😢😢😢 RIP beautiful Ches 😢😢
This is whyI love the elderly. They ground me and when I get depressed I think about their stories. My grandmother and working with elderly Alzheimer patients was a gift. I was very proud to say oh I'm not young I'm in my 40's ect. They would laugh and call me a baby. They tell stories of being dancers in NY, working as secretaries; one man would only become alert if you put a baseball book of players in front of him. He would then talk about his days playing baseball. The elderly people that I get to talk to never wish for a non wrinkled face or being a certain age instead they wish they could move better and have energy to move through the world. It grounds me and therapy and antistress resources help too. I feel terrible for that beautiful young lady.
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. 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, the great Cheslie Kryst! ❤️✨
I broke down in tears when I hear this. She took her life . I’m struggling with serve depression and a young son who dealing with addiction depression. It serious. I fight the good fight everyday. I recently realized I had to get out of relationship that I’m in, people will pray on weaknesses seek individuals out to abuse voilate. Prayer connecting to god is what helps me . But therapy is very nessarry.
I think there may be a chemical imbalance with people who suffer from such deep depression. There are people who go through some very obvious horrendous and tormenting ordeals, tragedies, sickness, losing loved ones or their own children, etc., yet, they don’t commit suicide. I think there may be a scientific explanation behind people who are so depressed and end up committing suicide when there isn’t really an obvious explanation or reason as to why. When compared to people who suffer obvious pain, loss and agony, who don’t resort to suicide, I think the brain may be wired differently.
Agreed. I don't remember the source but I believe I've heard that the one thing a lot of depression and cancer patients have in common is the lack of sleep before they were diagnosed with their respective health conditions. To be honest, I think that's true because sleep is the time when our body recovers and heals itself, if we don't do that stress may take over and damage our overall health, which also affects the way we feel. If I'm not wrong, getting enough sun light, sleep and niacin (vitamin b3) are the best things we can do for our mental health (I encourage everyone to do their research).
You suffer pain with mental health issues, they also can be an illness aswell. If a love member dies, it technically isn't actually hurting you, because the dead can't, but it is emotionally. The difference is it makes sense with the love member. So of course it's going to hurt. Imagine being in pain and there's no actually reason, or you don't think it is in the moment. You basically in some of the worst pain for no reason. As shitty as losing someone is, there's a reason and it makes sense.
So sorry for the family's loss such a beautiful young lady and listening to everyone speak about her they really truly loved her and she's going to be missed by all 🙏Sorry for 💔 everyone's loss
My brother took his life almost 4 yrs ago. The lack of answers is the hardest part and then there's the anger that comes with grief. I was so mad at him. I just hope he's at peace. I couldn't imagine if it were my child and I will lift her family up in prayer. Cyber bullying had a lot to do with her taking her life and to those who bully, shame on you.
What does matter in society even mean? That in itself is toxic and burdensome. Matter in society doesn’t have to be in a grand way or in a way that is covered by media. Young people need to be grounded. It is okay to be ordinary. Your family will still love you unconditionally even if you don’t become famous or extraordinarily spectacular. They have your back no matter what. Maybe we need to verbalize it to young people constantly. They need to know self worth. The hustle and bustle of life makes us forget to talk to our kids, siblings, spouses, parents, nephews and nieces . It is ok to be 30 and unmarried. It is ok to be 30 and not famous or rich. We can help one or two individuals who need our help and that should make us feel worthy to be in existence. We do all we can in our capacity to make life bearable for other people. Again, it does not have to be grand. Asking for help should not be frowned upon. Nobody is perfect.
Amen and stay the hell off of social media. A lot of people are too fragile for it. They are good when everyone is like, "You're beautiful, you're gorgeous, you're cool" but the minute someone says something negative then they fall into a deep hole. Not grounded in anything be it God or self. Everything is superficial and a show.
@@gigilamoore2656 The Most High's opinion and approval is the one I seek first, then self, and my family. Everyone else knows exactly what they can do for me
You're right. But perhaps that is where it was tough for her. She was raised and groomed to be 'perfect' and to 'have achievements. And to be in a pageant of course she was competing for something 'grand', to be recognized, winning the national and then competing for the international one clearly means that she was seeking and preparing for global exposure. With her mom being a pageant girl herself, unfortunately that is the only system that she has known. Really sad.
We live in a world where we have lost love and care for each other. As such, when people ask how are you, we always say fine. Truly, if you try to go into the truth people are literally rolling their eyes and hurry to end the conversation. This is a result of our hurried world. We no longer have time to sit and talk with each other. Imagine Cheslie's flawless persona was hiding all this hurt and pain. May she now rest easy among the Angels. My sincerest condolences to her Mum, family and friends 💔
DEIDRE NOW YOU UNDERSTANDS WHY CHRIST JESUS SAID THAT HIS KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD. WHY DON'T YOU BE TRANSPORTED INTO THE DIVINE KINGDOM OF GOD JEHOVAH RIGHT NOW, VIA JOHN CHAPTERS 3, 8 AND 10. AND ROOMS 1, 3, 8 AND 10.
I can imagine how devastating she must have felt.. craving for a way out. If only the feeling disappear just like that but it doesn't work that way. I may not be a good counsellor but I can say this that I have experienced this first hand. Instead of trying to fight it, I pray firstly, as a believer in Jesus Christ, I pray that God would protect me from even thinking about ending own's life..He has the power to break the chains of depression. Talk about it to someone you trust, accept the help offered to you, trust and have faith with treatment.
To the world she was this sweet over happy person, it’s very clear there was so much going on behind close doors. I think she was seeking help by asking other people how do they deal with mental health and thought it could work for her. Sad, I just found out who she was and listening to her🔥🎉
It's a lonely illness.No matter how many people are around you,it makes no difference to the sufferers pain.Sufferers don't want to die!!!They just want to end the pain.
@@faithnaidoo7647 I understand that there are depths of depressions and that it is actually common. Usually, the sense of not being alone will help the average person. Or even drinking and doing drugs will keep us going. But to think she has literally spoken with so many who have suffered and she still felt that need of suicide is very rare. The average person does not talk about it with anyone.
@@tottryship5608 But it's not really that weird. Talking to someone who has the same thing can and may make you feel less alone for a moment. But depending on how severe it is. It can make you feel lonely again in no time.
I will have to find and read Gayle King’s excerpt on Cheslie 💕(I wish it was linked in description). What all of us would do to get her back. 😔 Great reminder to start doing more than saying “talk to someone”. Time to be that someone and reach out to others.. maybe especially those that seem to have it all together 😭
So heartbreaking 💔 what a beautiful amazing young lady who hid her depression well and sadly many do i know because i do as well.. My heart breaks for her family and the world lost a wonderful lady
Not sure who needs to see this but you should matter in your own eyes, not in society eyes. The standard society has set, we can’t fulfill because society itself is hollow. To others she had everything but to her, she had nothing to live for. As ironic as it is, she did matter.
This is a very good way to look at it, being in peace with oneself is extremely important, regardless of what others may say or think, I also think people expect too much from society, really needed to hear it!
This feels so surreal. Looking on the outside, one couldve never thought such a vibrant, very successful young woman was also struggling with internal battles. Mental health doesnt have a face, one could look happy, put together and yet be a very dark place in their lives.
This is my philosophy we all have had mental health breakdowns but we all have not been diagnosed and one thing about mental health you got to take care of self and be positive in your affirmation on a daily basis that’s what keep me going positive affirmations regardless of what’s going on in my life I’m always gonna be upbeat and cheery because positive keep you going negative make you do bad things. I was a therapist for 25 years and this is what I say you got to take care of self and you got to be able to realize you are most important so others can be important around you. I like to express my condolences to the entire family🙏
This is so sad. You never know the pain people are dealing with inside. A lot of us suffer in silence. We put up these smoking mirrors and show the world this facade and it's truly sad. I am praying for the family for true healing because I'm watching this and tears are flowing... This life can be truly hard sometimes but to all dealing with a lot just know your not alone. If anyone out there is thinking about ending it all just know that you matter, you are loved, your life matter ..... I pray this young lady finally found the peace she may have been searching for. I am truly sorry she couldn't find it here on earth.
NICO YOU STRONG BUT YOU WRONG!!! WHAT CAN A BROKEN SOLDIER DO ??? THE YOUNG LADY THAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO IS NOW IN THE BOTTOMLESS, ETERNAL PITS OF HELL SCREAMING AND BURNING FOR ALL ETERNITY BECAUSE SHE TOOK HER OWN LIFE AND DIED WITHOUT CHRIST JESUS !!! LUKE 16:19-31. NICO YOU ARE ALSO HEADED THERE !!! EXCEPT YE REPENT YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH. NICO PSYCHOLOGY IS NOT THE ANSWER, CHRIST JESUS IS !!! JOHN CHAPTER 3. ROMANS CHAPTER 10. THANK YOU.
@@saintfrancisobrianevangeli2793 I know my heart... And although I am not perfect and have committed sin many times I always ask my Lord for forgiveness... I pray to my Lord everyday and for the most part he guides me through this life I live. I may not always live like how he wants me too but my Lord knows my heart. He knows my soul is pure so I'm not heading to hell... I know that for a fact.... You have a great life you judgemental perfect human 🙄....
I think it’s shocking to people because she doesn’t “look” or “sound” like what you think someone would be like if they were struggling. And that’s what’s shocking to people. Society puts a lot of worth on beauty and success, so we don’t assume someone who is successful and beautiful would struggle. But it’s not true 😢
We don't show it unless we write on ourselves all over, we must hide it it's difficult to explain. I suffer SEVERE depression and anxiety DISORDER I can't share it no wayyyy plus I don't want ppl to think less of me as a strong person and mother grandmother as well bye I hope you know a bit how it works for most of us.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👀👀💔💔💔😥😥
@Amanda I have depression so I definitely know how it works. And you aren’t weak for admitting your flaws. It can inspire more women or people to be open about theirs. 🙏🏾
Smiles and Happy-go-Lucky can be so deceiving. No one ever knows what someone is going through. Also, I discern when someone is always talking about a particular thing - You’ve got to watch them. My heart goes out for this young lady’s family. May her soul Rest In Peace.
So so tragic ! She was full of light ! Even though she took this decision to end her life I feel like her death was not in vain. This will hopefully open up people’s perception on mental health and help others to speak freely about their struggles. Rest In Peace princess ❤️🌷😞🙏
A beautiful vessel that so obviously had a troubled soul... We put so much emphasise on outer beauty when we should focus more on our inner beauty.. Our outer beauty fades as we get older and we become invisible to some... That desire and thirst for validation and constant need for reassurance is a sure sign.. Bless her soul that she will find the peace she s so wanted in this lifetime.. 💚💚💚
Man, this hurts and it touches my life so. I was so in this roller coaster for so many years of my life. I got therapy and that helped but I still have an occasion or two to drift. I so whole heartedly agree with Taraji about paying attention to the beginning of the thoughts, the start of a down spiral. I have to immediately change course...immediately cause once I get to a certain point, it's downhill from there. So I work hard to not go there. I'm so heartbroken, so heartbroken over this because she was there, at the very last ring on the ladder of depression. For her to jump from that height, she was determined. I can't imagine her pain😥😥😥😥
Chelsie, you mattered. You mattered alive, and your passing will serve as a painful reminder that mental health is to be taken seriously by all. RIP, precious girl.
I had never heard of her until I saw the news, However for her to jump from the 29th floor, broke my heart,,As we all know what that does to body upon impact made me even sadder. It sent a very significant message to me about her thoughts, which I will keep to myself..R.I.H. Cheslie you deserved so much out of life..🙏🌹
So attractive and such a good correspondent, host etc. Wish she was still alive, but to those trolls on social media screw you! She is a worthy winner of Miss USA regardless of her age. Her beauty and body was too good to let go off. She was also an athlete and a good one, everyone is entitled to their own pathway in life and have different hobbies, interests. RIP and miss you already. 💖
People that care the most & who are always helping others, are the most that commit suicide. Having a good heart can only take you so far. In today's society people really don't care anymore if you're a genuine person. Everyone is out for themselves, sadly. Tired of living in a superficial world.
As a person that struggles with depression and suicide thought she was asking for help in her interviews no one recognize how much she was asking for help my heart goes out to her family friends and colleagues...this is just way to hart braking.
I have watched many videos and read about Cheslie since her death, and she was an OVERACHIEVER. Suicide is common among overachievers. She had FOUR college degrees, and most people do not have one college degree. Overachievers often set unrealistic goals that can lead to suicide, if the goals are not met. Cheslie had a problem with being 30 and not having a certain amount of recognition. She also spoke about the emptiness of a competitive lifestyle. Her unrealistic goal for 30 and not liking her lifestyle may have pushed her over the edge. 1:30 starts to explain where her mindset was flawed. 🇺🇸
Overachievers generally have naysayers telling them they can’t, doubting them, hating on them, humiliating them, and I could go on. I believe her unrealistic expectations stemmed from society’s expectations (people in her midst), and that is sad.
