Former Miss USA and Extra correspondent Cheslie Kryst shared her excitement about writing her first book, finishing the manuscript shortly before she died by suicide in 2022, at age 30. Her family says she battled severe depression for years. Now, her mother, April Simpkins, is honoring her daughter's wish by publishing her book. It's called "By the Time You Read This: The Space Between Cheslie's Smile and Mental Illness." April Simpkins joins us first on "CBS Mornings."

I watched the episode of Red Table Talk when Cheslie’s parents shared her story. I was in the midst of severe depression and hopelessness. I don’t share with others when I’m in that state because it is too much bare it and share it. After their episode I sought help. Cheslie’s story made me realize I wanted to fight. I don’t want to leave a note like hers. It made me realize at least I wasn’t at that point so there was still some hope and I could try. I’m better now. Not 100, but not where I was. I think about her story often. I can’t wait to read her book. I hope Cheslie is shining and thriving in peace and love ✨✨

Coming from a person who’s suffered from clinical depression from teens to mid 40’s, sometimes there is NO ONE or NOTHING that can pull you out of this. People say talk but some are too far gone. There is not one day that goes by that I don’t think about taking my life. I hold on for my one and only child. But unless you have had that mind that goes off into wonderland whenever it wants you’ll never know. People let go for peace.I am NOT condoning suicide. I am expressing the mental pain of being ok one minute then feeling your mind slip in another minute and there’s no activity or person or thing that can steer you out that frustrating black hole. Or those days of feeling outside your body! Boy it’s a battle that no one deserves.

Really sad. I wonder if she was pressured to be perfect when she was younger. That part when her mom said she focused on that small part she didn’t get right. That’s someone who suffered from perfectionism, unfortunately. We have to reinforce to our children that failure is a part of life. That we cannot do everything with a 100% result. Everything that we struggle with goes right back to our childhood and I can bet that’s the genesis of her struggles in this regard. I can attest that, that all my adult struggles stem from childhood trauma or experiences. I will add however that depression is a whole e beast that sometimes has no answers as to why. Life is just a strange journey and unfortunately it gets too overwhelming for some people.

Two masters degress, in business and law, a pageant winner, and successful TV personality. Yes people and world are mean and cruel at times, but most of us cope. It is sad and tragic her demons got the best of her. I think she had a loving fiancee as well, unless they broke up. I hope to read her book once it comes to libraries.

@@StellaGibson-cm1hzI recall seeing a couple of photos of her online with an alleged exbf taken around the time of her reign as Miss USA (I don't know if their breakup preceded the end of her reign or if it came after). As for her being a lesbian, I consider that to be unfounded gossip, which sadly she's no longer here to confirm or deny. With that said, in light of the recent news about the two beauty queens and an executive who've stepped down within the Miss USA organization, I can't help but wonder if Cheslie dealt with any of the alleged same toxicity within the organization during her reign. It was well known how many haters dragged her after she won Miss USA and completed her reign, but no doubt all that negativity and vitriol had a terrible impact on her mental health. I wish she had found the peace she craved during her life and found a way to rise above the ugly side of life.

@Joie2U 8 күн бұрын

@@StellaGibson-cm1hzYou're welcome. Allegedly, Cheslie faced pressure from her mom to return to her law career after her reign as Miss USA ended, but she couldn't take the micro-aggression and discrimination she faced from others within the profession. Law is her stepfather's profession, pageantry was her mom's. Don't know what her father does for a living, but it seems like Cheslie gave up in trying to find her true calling, purpose, and passion in life. I don't think she really was all that fulfilled in working for _Extra,_ as Hollywood's obsession with youth and negativity on ageism only made her loathe being in her 30's (not to mention the haters who made an issue over her being the oldest Miss USA to win the crown). With that said, it's too bad that she couldn't have been mentored by some of the older women in her life whom she admired. They could've told her that with her being in her 30's, she was just getting started and had a lot of living left to do. Her mom's statement of "treating each day as though it were their last" sounds like she accepted that Cheslie would one day succeed in taking her own life.😞

What isn’t being said is the crushing weight of perfectionism - those of us who suffer from depression, anxiety, and more know that most daily things gets us worked up (anxiety) and bring us down (depression). I’ve had my stomach in knots & diarrhea a few times a week from just getting ready for work. Hitting snooze at least 10x every morning until the thought of being late or a forgotten task jolts me out of bed thanks to anxiety. I cried everyday I had to go to work bc of a toxic environment and genuinely hating my job (even tho I’m high ranking, high earning, accomplished, and revered). My stomach is twisting as I write this. Rest on, Cheslie. You don’t have to suffer in your own mind, anymore.

Deeply relatable. Such a beautiful soul and I feel so connected to her, in a kindred spirit sense, as I’ve been “there”. And the conversation about duality is true with those of us who LIVE with depression while praying through it. Each day is a blessing and it’s hard to share unless we feel completely comfortable sharing our true feelings with someone who has a special capacity to make us feel safe and heard rather than judged or placated amid an episode. My heart goes out to her mom and everyone who loved and supported her when she needed it most.

Anyone else feel like the mom is a narcissist? She just gives off those vibes. Like seems completely unbothered of the fact that her daughter is gone. And is instead making it about herself. Super weird/sus energy. She just rubs me the wrong way.

What a disgusting and cruel comment. She is a mother grieving the loss of her child and is showing STRENGTH by publishing her book and continuing her legacy. Shame on you for this comment.

We do talk. But we can't make any type of so called "wild claim" to anybody who chooses to be in a so called position to help without being criminalized or retraumatized. Which causes lack of purpose. If these thoughts, if homelessness, is criminalized, while squatting is not, and people who choose homelessness so as to choose human decency, we are punished. Then punished further in homeless shelters, you tell me, where is the purpose? Since Cheslie we lost Dr. Bailey, and Mandisa, and many more. Too soon.

I'm so sorry for her family, but I have nothing but respect for Cheslie. Suicide is a deeply personal decision that should never be taken lightly. I admire that she was able to comfort her family with her final words. Having dealt with depression for my entire life, I often don't know if I can keep mustering "one more day," but the longer I do, the more I realize that "I have no purpose" isn't up to me; it's up to everyone else around me who sees the purpose more clearly than I can for myself. We don't completely own ourselves. That, and medication has really helped me. Thank goodness for modern medicine.

That she had to wear a mask says it all. She had a realness she could not share, and she pandered to the game of those around her. Who wants to live in a world where you cannot be fully yourself. It's wise to reject that. She didn't want to pay the price for rejecting it openly... the image mattered to her. She felt she could Not share it, or she would lose her place, her standing... I don't know about that. I am minimally interested in the standards of others, because I find those standards often deficient... because they are False. But to sync with those standards is indeed to have clout.

I can tell you there's only two responses, people silently take notice of your care for them, and later will remember you silently So all the people I met along the way and truly wished the best for, and cared about their wellbeing, they feel your sincerity. or people dark mirror you. Dark mirroring can only create more fearless humans. What this means is did you ever get the sense that you were supposed to laugh over your plight? And you were supposed to take your plight of inhumane treatment by society and humans, 100% lightly and laugh about suffering. So as we are made to be more and more fearless, we don't fear death. I can tell you that I still feel the underlying joi de vivre for life and excitement for living life.
