Image captionFormer US First Lady Michelle Obama has said she is suffering from"low-grade depression" because of the pandemic, racial injustice and the"hypocrisy" of the Trump administration.
She made the comments during the second episode of her eponymous podcast, for which she was interviewing US journalist Michele Norris.
I guess hiding your actually a man will do that to you.
Now you know how we felt when your spouse was President.
She gives me high-grade depression.
Boo hoo hoo. You and your husband started identity politics
I AM WHITE AND I FEEL THAT IF I SEE A black face i what to be sick becaues i am white they are racist ones not us
Oh piss off! All that money, all that power and SHE’S got low grade depression! People can’t even put food on the table, get real.
all she has is low grade crazy
Canadian 🇨🇦 Prime Minister JustinTrudeau BlackFaceTrudeau 3X wife Sophie and also his mother MargaretTrudeau are also claiming same things, really or is it just to get a piece of the WEscam charity pie 💰💴. Hope not taking advantage of a truly serious issue
Doesn't everyone?
'Michelle' needs to show proof of her gender
A bit sad.
Married to Barack I'm surprised she only has low grade depression , or was she being nice in case she hurt his feelings.
It’s called life!!
Big news.
She can always play American Football.
How the BBC makes me feel. DefundTheBBC
At The whole world's depressed
Don't we all!
Everyone has depression these days. The definition of the condition has been lowered to mean nothing
Too many people on this thread assume that money & power makes people immune to depression. 😣
Married to him it's not surprising
ZimbabweanslivesMatter
She certainly has the ability to depress others!
Never trusted this lady... what is she up to?
She is ridiculous both of them are like that
Why is this news?
That low grade depression will change to high grade depression after the election
DefundTheBBC
Gitmo anxiety, Mike?
Being a corrupt sellout who enabled Trump racist fascism has depression consequences when you realise that you are responsible for creating the conditions for it to happen!
What nexts
Look she's got millions of dollars and can afford psychotherapy and endless support. Sorry for her but really, there are clinically depressed people struggling to avoid killing themselves in lockdown isolation.
We don't care.....
A lot of trans get low grade depression
It’s sad to see how many people in the comments think happiness is linked to material wealth. Being rich doesn’t make you immune to mental health issues. Possessions don’t make you happy 🤷♀️
Apparently one of the symptoms is broadcasting it too the world.
so his got to u then the bellender 🤡?!? 👀🤔🤷♂️😷 pics like this might not help either so look away 💭
Does the violin her home city of Chicago depress her? Never heard her talk of this. What a worthless hypocrite. Don’t these people ever go away?
Omg this guy has TDS
Ahh yes, the new book's coming out. Now I getcha!
Is it the thought of all the children her husband droned?
Why is He being listened to!
I got depression by looking at her
The comments here are just shocking. The lack of understanding of what depression is has completely stunned me. Depression has nothing to do with money or privilege. It has nothing to do with love. It is a mental illness that you cant control. You dont know when it will hit,how
No you're not Mitchell, you're upset. You're not depressed, you dont know what depression feels like, you're upset by the trump administration, racial injustice and the pandemic, not depressed
Just like her low grade husband
Oh FFS
Like worried about her hair?
Not surprised in the slightest having a husband who has one of the worse records as president .
Because she wants to be a man again?
Doesn't everyone suffer from low grade depression?
Not surprised 😡 his husbands in a whole heap of shit. SaveTheChildren
With a husband that brags about killing women and children with drones I don’t expect any different . Do u ?
With all due respect for a woman who does deserve respect, I nonetheless wonder what 'low-grade depression' is in practice, in our snowflake age where are anything can be either profoundly offensive or psychologically overwhelming.
Boo hoo what a hard life she must of had 🙄
Is this after her trip to the hairdressers
What Effect Inbred Racist Eurocentrism on Self-Esteem? Does depression noted of MichelleObama reflect mental state leading to RACIST MASKING of African hair/features with Eurocentric wig/cosmetic-fakery? If Yes, what ongoing DAMAGE to CHILDREN'S self-esteem by BBC imagery? .
Dont we all Michelle,don't we all.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people that they STILL think money is a cure to depression?
Don’t we all
Bless her she’s so very oppressed.
Meanwhile in the English Channel!
Americans had low grade depression when you were first lady
Notice she had to use the race card boring!
She is depressing 🙄
Pathetic!
What a pretentious woman she is
Isn't that the diagnosis a Doctor gives you when they think you dont have depression but dont want to hurt your feelings either.
Don’t we all.🤦♀️
I feel so sorry for him
Politics as exhibitionism and emotional blackmail MichelleObama
I'll see you on the low grade depression, Michelle, and raise you w/ PSTD/financial insecurity/being dumped during qt and mask pimples.
Get in the queue love
who cares ,BBC stands for BLM
Slightly misleading. There’s a difference between saying “I have low grade depression” and saying “I think I have some form of low grade depression.”
Well, with a bit of hard work, I’m sure she can get that up graded.
Sounds more like a self diagnosis.
I'm riddled with low grade ingrown toenails.
Oh shut up
It's probably just the male menopause...
Hasn’t everyone these days
Maybe this will help her. A lot of the ‘assholes’ surrounding her are the keyboard warriors slagging her off on this thread.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️DefundTheBBC
Smallest violin in the world.
Wow, like she’s got loads to be depressed about! Must be writing a book or have one ready to come out.
It must be her balls
Defund the BBC
Oh darn. Right, well, I've low but not low, low graded middle of left depression. Thankfully I've millions of pounds to fall back on. Its all in the book for $9.99
Morning Michael 😏
he needs to 'man' up
Let's all feel sorry for a former first lady and multi millionaire. Ten again, she's had to deal with this for years......
Think how bad Melania Trump must feel
Another depressing thread full of people that equate money with happiness. Thought mental health issues were becoming safe to discuss openly now, without judgment? Seems not. 😞
As if you needed to explain who she is 😂
Good to know the thought of your husband sending drones to kill countless of innocent people didn’t trigger it
There’s no such thing as low grade depression. You either have depression or you don’t
?
I’ve low grade boredom
DefundTheBBC
With the fed's about to start looking into her husband at the handover time of his Presidency this victimhood claiming seems nicely timed. Perhaps a couple of weeks on her husbands buddies Necker island will help elevate the depression, the victimhood I expect will get worse.
Saves the BBC spending money on on an in-depth News Service
Hmm, Ok, what's she promoting? Clue: the answer is probably a tv show or book, rather than mental health awareness.
It’s called Obama
Being cheesed off is not depression ...
I didn’t have until I woke up and saw you thought this was “news” 🙄
So she's decided to stop 'culturally appropriating' her hair. How thoughtful.
Who cares and boring!
Michelle. I think you will find that is all of us right now. You call it Low Grade Depression we say Pissed Off. Stay safe
Wow, so is half the world, its hardly newsworthy.
Remember the days felt sad about bad things. It was natural. Now it’s depression.
When she goes low, we go high. Isn't that what she advocated?
One would think with all that money. All those connections and influence she could get some higher grade issue! Feels like a bit of positioning and must be infuriating for those caring for the many with big problems
I'm surprised the Obamas have low grade anything.
Well trying to hide that your husband is a Nonce will do that to you
What do you mean..She!?
I have manic depressive disorder, still get up for work and struggle looking after myself. Wonder when I'll get a news article for not being married to a wealthy politician. Also like how an anti trump bit had to be in there 🙄
'Entitled man is sick of wearing dresses' there fixed you headline
Depression doesn't care if you're rich or poor. It affects people from different walks of life. We should be encouraging everyone who suffers to speak publicly about it, if only to help others who can't.
I’m depressed that she is depressed.....
Did her doctor tell her I mean him that Didn't think so! Trump has done more in four years than obummer did in eight yrs go figure.
Oh for goodness sake she's belittling proper depression and anxiety. 'I woke up feeling.....' The ultimate me me me. ...
More woke bollocks
Must b tough
This report, more than anything, shows how out of touch with the vast majority of Brits the BBC is. Who cares!
So what !
The tens of thousands innocent people killed when her husband was in power didn't get a chance to suffer depression
And I'm fuken depressed listening to her
Who dosnt? We all have it
Who doesn't..
Great lady but is this news
Ok..some one please explain low grade depression to me please ?
“Man up” Michelle 🤫
Sigbertganser
Join the club love . Plenty suffering from depression at the moment
She married him.
davidagoodland Wow all them reasons. Surely knowing your husband was President as the US dropped 26,000 bombs around the world would have some effect on you too. Her husband ok'd the murder of so many.
The promises her husband made and didn’t carry out, ie Arab spring bought more chaos on the world. Why everything has to be shared is beyond me.
Must have a book coming out.
Oh boohoo
Is this UK news?
Because she's human. A beautiful one. 💞💞💞
Join the club sweet heart
Poor lady. I hope it's not all that's going on with everything to do with the upcoming election. I hope she and her husband know how well loved they are to so many people.
LOW GRADE!
Don’t we all.
Translation: I haven’t had enough media attention for a while.
Big Mike getting ready to sell another low grade book
Most of us suffer with ‘low-grade happiness.’!
She has TDS.😂😂😂
She should probably go see a shrink and get it properly diagnosed and get help. Everyone thinks they're low grade depressed right now, but not many are seeking help. Maybe if she does it will allow others feel it's ok to so as well.
We all know she is gonna be Bidens running partner. Just come out and tell us and stop with this sympathy bullshit.
She will have to write a book about it and go on a world wide promotion tour selling it and preach to the world at the same time to make herself feel better
You mean Michael? tranny floppymike adrenochrome
floppymike Adrenochrome
She is just afraid that her husband will be arrested any day now!
FloppyMike
But the big checks from Wall Street for her husband help with the depression 😂😂😂
floppymike
They always show cracks eventually.
I love Michelle Obama.
In this day and age, who doesn’t?
translated to sometimes feeling a bit pissed off, unbelievable!
Go to the doctor!
We’ll all pray for her🙏🙄ffs🤡
Has she been clinically diagnosed or is this yet another celebrity who thinks being down = depression?
Depression for rich people = low grade depression?
I never get why famous people announce their illnesses
Must be the manopause
Has all the bombing her husband sanctioned effected her mental health? I mean he really went to town with the killing, it's bound to have an effect
Everyone has low-grade depression. Life is fucking hard and relentless for every living thing.
News flash...we all do. Who’s happy right now in 2020?
Yawn.
Me too, Michelle, me too
now isn't that just too goddam bad.
OBAMAGATE
Too bad. Now she can feel what the country felt under 8 years of her husband. How do you feel about all the refugees in the UK? They fled Africa after Obama killed Gaddafi, Libya collapsed, ISIS took over and everyone fled to the EU and UK. Yeah, Obama did that to you.
married to bollack obumma I'm sure she has
Male depression?
So she's finally identifying with the common folks?
I definitely have the Trump depression too! DumpTrump
does she know how much depression her husband caused dropping bombs on innocent people
I think she means that she is fed up with not getting her way ...
Cheer up.....
Divorce him then.
They do say that depression is common on transgender individuals...
Join the club.
She causes me low grade depression
Doesn't everyone? We live in the time of Covid, of Trump.
Fuck I hate the Obamas
Sending you 💟 and prayers
she no longer has a personal staff of 54 government employees pampering 'her'.
Why, because everything sucks?
'Low' grade?
We all low-grade don’t give a fuck
We all do 🤷🏽♀️
Me too. It is a part of many of us. Empaths
if she does... I truly hope she gets what she needs! Depression stinks
Haven’t we all love.
michelle es estupida
I’m embarrassed for her, that she thought anyone would appreciate her sharing something this elitist.
She gives me high grade depression
Oh lord, she is a joke...
😂😂😂Getting rich never working is rough I guess
Don't we all
When you promote ViceIsVirtue, and watch that vice destroy lives, it would have to be depressing.
Low grade depression comes from being married to a cold, cold man.
Sheep
A multi-millionaire like her should only thank God and neither mention depression, in respect of those actually fighting it, instead of exploiting it for political purposes!!!! 🤬🤬
I saw this on TV today-my heart goes out to her. I don't like her politics but I can sympathize about this!
Aaaww bless her, the lifestyle she leads & all the money the Obamas have must be so hard
Trump will do that for you...running for president will clear that right up for you!!
The difference between low and high grade depression is thin. Better to say it is depression. Period.
She must have it, being wife to a Killer is very depressing.
