Ok—I made it thru about 14 minutes of the vid, then I was so angry I had to stop. You see, I actually have a Mental Illness that does involve Medical Depression (and other problems), and in my opinion this person is flat out lying. She is pitching her book to a sucker audience and will probably have a best seller, but a real experience—no way. I doubt she even tried to commit suicide.
Approximately one quarter of people with Mental illnesses that involve Major Depression do wind up committing suicide. They loose the battle with the illness and have become actively suicidal, the final fatal symptom. They do not think about possibly surviving their suicide attempt and they certainly don’t worry about how they will look if they do. This woman is–oh I don’t even have words for it----slandering a whole, deeply suffering population.
Her “testimony” will confirm what many people with MI already believe from past bad expreriences—Christianity is bad for them. She is keeping people from Jesus, and these are some of the people that need to be aware of Him the most.
She is also lying about first responders, no first responder would ask “Do you really want us to take her to the hospital?”. That would be illegal in any state I have every heard of. In many states, only a medical doctor can pronounce death. And no responder would keep his job if he starting making verbal sexual commentary about a near dead patient. He would be reported and fired.
NO medically trained person would give up on an otherwise healthy FIFTEEN year old (the age she says she was) until they had tried everything in the book and a few things from out of it.
If she shot herself, she would have gone from ER to the OR, even if the bullet “missed her heart” it still would have caused massive bleeding in that area and would have had to have been removed. Its major surgury, probably requiring a respirator afterwords and definetly more than a brief stay in ICU.
As to her so-called hell experience—no where in any description of hell I have ever read, do people gain spiritual extra perception. Then God saves her (how CEU of her to put that in her story), gives her a brief glimpse of heaven, and sends her back to warn everyone. He slowly cures her Depression (funny she never mentions having an actual psychiatrist give her the diagnosis) by inspiring her with Bible passages. Give me a break. To fix a brain illness, the brain must be fixed. Mere words, even Biblical ones, won’t do it. There would have had to have been a very physical intervention too.
People, including me, who actually have Major Depression, report they can feel physical symptoms in their brains. I have felt a weird kind of pain, and also jerking sensations when I tried to force myself to become well. That’s why I say a noticable physical intervention would have been needed to cure someone who was really ill enough to be suicidal.
Ok—stopping now. This one just hit all my buttons.

Something don’t sound right abut that…
