What Really Happened To Miss USA Chelsie Kryst?

Miss USA Chelsie Kryst recently passed away and many were floored at hearing the news.

[@carbar3936]

So true @ any are good at hiding it, but people w/ suicidal ideations in small ways do show it. Change of habits & the eyes are key give-aways, but it can be ever so small that unless someone was looking for it, we'd miss it. Cheslie eyes held a sadness when you look back now, but not knowing her didn't spot it til after the fact. Svrl videos of her people are now pointing to eyes (windows of our souls) sadness. Video w/ her & another young black girl talking mental health most are pointing to where eyes are distant. So sorry for your loss & can take some comfort in at least having 1 around, and he did the best he could at the time. I hope you're at peace despite your loss & grateful for ever knowing him.

Nurses catch it from all sides I’ve worked all over in health care admin & coordination from E.D, Cancer Center to home health. Black American, African, Hispanic, Philippine, Samoan are always having to prove themselves or that they belong in these white folks relm. My brother in law who’s Gambian (and an awesome dedicated Nurse) stepped down from a directors position in a hospital here in Seattle because when he made the clear people do there jobs, follow up, be accountable ect. They labeled him as hard to work with because their privilege didn’t get them a pass to not actually do their jobs and push it off on others. They tried to discipline him for that, but it looked suspicious on the 2 heifers that complained. They tried to get another black nurse to say he was difficult to work with she was fairly new they wanted her to write a statement to that fact. I guess they felt because she was new she would just go along.girlfriend said no ma’am my brother had helped her so much in her career with being new and everything and looking out for her she refused and she reported it. he has a lawsuit going on and he stepped down and went back to working in an ER and has been happy ever since. And we have other family members even me that have been blatantly discriminated against here in Seattle but they are supposed to be so liberal here(Bullshit we catch hell) My sister from Ethiopia was just laid off yesterday working with her to deal with white nurses they told her it was because of the current state of the department financially but just hired two receptionist and another nurse. How do you lay off a supervisor but not your recent hires she decided not to fight it with the union because she had a baby six months ago and she really wanted to be home with her baby for a while it’s so sad the crap we deal with in 2022 but people like to pretend racism isn’t here

I have battled depression for years and have been hospitalized a couple of times because of it. Most people who meet me would never know. I've listened to her mention several times that she is an introvert and that as a kid she was a book worm, outcast, etc. The problem was she was beautiful so people expected her to be happy. She was missing something in her life and probably would have been happier if she wasn't the center of attention, had a wonderful partner in her life and could spend her evenings cuddled up on a couch relaxing rather than having to be "on".

[@theblacknationnews]

I don't think she had to be the center of attention if she didn't want to be. She chose to be the center of attention, including making videos and being a practicing lawyer in court. She didn't seem to have an issue with attention. I deal with depression too and I wouldn't purposely and constantly put myself in situations where I'm the center of attention bc I don't like it.

I was looking for this comment. We have to be careful calling our black culture weak just because we handle things differently than our parents etc. Yes, they were brought up to be tough, but they were also brought up to hide things under the rug. It's not that they were tougher, it's just that they were masters in covering it up. If our younger generation today is good at hiding depression, it's only because they learned from the best. I didn't get his point about calling us weaker. That actually is the wrong thing to say. This generation is fighting hard based on the times we're living in. Thank you for bringing this up.

My advise to young people (I am a Black senior) don’t pay attention to people some of her micro aggressions should not have been swimming around in her head. One instance where she said someone said that she is well spoken many times that has nothing to do with being Black or insulting you as a Black person that is just you are well spoken. I always tell my young nephew how articulate he is and I have either said or thought that of people of all races. The thing to always remember is people for the most part are not thinking about you that long or hard because they usually have their own set of problems they are dealing with. Just live you life and try to ignore people as much as possible.

The warmth, love and endearment changes and it's because of what we call here, the "rat race"...work many jobs to pay bills, little to no family time, little to no quality time with kids etc depending on the situation.

How exactly does an investigator know that someone jumped vs being pushed? Has anyone personally seen a video, or are just going by what someone online says? I see no way someone could tell the difference, unless the person was being dragged to the roof and was fighting and screaming on video. If you and I are goofing around on a balcony, roof, whatever and I just pushed you off as we were both peeping over and saying ohhh the people look like ants down there, how does one come up with they committed suicide?

RIP. 💔Thank you so much. As a white woman with a diverse family it continues to cut so deep to hear of these experiences of racial microaggressions. I’m so sorry she had to deal with this trash and having to quickly formulate the best reaction. Most of them don’t even seem very “micro.” Throughout my life I’ve dealt with microaggressions (not racial and not comparable, but relative to me as an individual) due to aspects of my life that carry lots of stigma, assumptions and ignorance with them (teenage mom, Aspergers, HIV and more..) This can sometime lead to or add to depression. you can feel there is no avoiding or escaping ignorance and you get so exhausted by having to constantly teach and preach as you feel it’s your responsibility. Depression is a medical illness but can be affected by situational issues that seem Relentless, constant and unavoidable. Some people feel they have been born in the wrong time and cannot buy into how things are; that simply existing is co-signing on just “how it is.” This country is sooo polarized. People are expected to take sides and stick to them💔Makes many people want to isolate. I so agree with what you said about traveling and going elsewhere. People’d be surprised how just a day or two somewhere else will show you a different experience then at home. Can give you some hope in human nature .I pray for her mom, family, loved ones and friends. 🙏💔

[@sunshine32151]

Great video, we will never know but I think several things 1) feeling the need to be on social media and not being able to take a break, take a leave of absence at her job. Social media can make the best feel insecure . I wish she had taken a leave of absence, went to Africa, South America or right her in the USA and worked with others in social services, orphanage or something, she had something to offer the world. She would have seen, I am so blessed.... This was a true tragedy.

[@thetruthreviewer1877]

I was a pageant queen within the same organization. (I will not disclose my title & yes I’m a brown woman). I’ve recently learned to respond to micro aggressions with straightforwardness. I also did modeling prior to pageantry and law enforcement afterward. Everyone’s journey within certain professions are different. Most of my micro aggressive experiences with modeling surprisingly came from friends and family, not strangers. On the other hand most of my micro aggressions with law enforcement came from my colleagues who had a problem with me when I indirectly addressed it. Now, I dare any person to try it with me in person, I’m clapping back. I’m one year older than Cheslie, so I can relate to the space she was in with the way she chose to respond for the sake of choosing peace. Something happened with me over the last year where I’m no longer choosing to respond like a little angel…if you try me you’ll get what you ask for. I put that on my crown, sash and Jesus. Though I think Cheslie responded to negativity in a way that was necessary for HER, her story just gave me more motivation to stop responding so politely and call out ignorance right on the spot. Game Over. There are too many little girls who look up to us…time is limited. This is not me being a feminist or womanist, it’s me being a FED UPist. Rip sweet angel Cheslie! 🕊✊🏽🤎.

My prayers and condolences to any family who has lost a loved one to suicide in 2022. Depression when severe or major can make you have suicidal thoughts and overwhelming urges to end your life from the time you wake up until you go to sleep. This can last for days even months. The depressed person can begin to believe that the only way to find peace is to end their own life. It can take God, professional therapy, medication and/or even hospitalization to get a person back to health. It can take ongoing maintenance and self care, but people can survive and later thrive. It is ok to ask someone, is something bothering you today? or is something hurting you today? Most hospital ERs will admit or transfer a person with suicidal ideation for a psych eval which leads to life saving help.
