River of Time: My Descent into Depression and How I Emerged with Hope

Country music is not my thing. I didn't know much about the Judds so it was shocking and very sad for me, hearing that Naomi had committed suicide, by gun. Her hardcore fans would've seen all Naomi's interviews over the years and read all her books so they would've known that this could've happened at any moment.

After reading this book, I now know that Naomi had been trying pretty much every treatment, drug, and therapy out there, but nothing worked. She had "severe treatment-resistant depression and anxiety." It was only a matter of time until the pain became too much. She had been contemplating suicide and the best way to go about it for years.

This book is very well written and very educational for anyone wanting to know more about show more Naomi or more about depression and anxiety in general.

It left me feeling sad because her everyday life was finally "manageable and enjoyable". But then, six years later, her everyday life must've been even more unbearable then it was before. I'm so sorry, Naomi. You definitely tried everything you could to stay on the planet, but it was too much. show less
