LeAnn Rimes, Depression: Singer Discusses Health Struggle

Earlier this year, LeAnn Rimes spent 30 days in a treatment center to cope with anxiety and stress. And now, in a taped interview with E! News, airing Dec. 9, the singer reveals she was also fighting depression.

"When you look around and you go 'I'm crying, like, uncontrollably, no one can help me,' that's when I knew I had to seek help," Rimes says, "I was incredibly depressed and not quite sure of who I was."

Continuous outside scrutiny didn't make it any easier to cope with her depression.

"People are so quick to judge and make decisions for themselves about situations they know absolutely nothing about," she admits.

After leaving the facility in September, the 30-year-old said working through the issues helped her focus on herself.

"I've been in therapy my whole life," she told the Boston Herald. "I like going. I like being able to have that third-party input and someone to listen that has nothing to do with your life. Everyone has an opinion of how I am and how I should be, and now I'm focusing on how I want to be."

LeAnn Rimes: My heart goes out to you. You fell in love with Eddie. It happens. I believe in my heart you are suffering because you wish he wasn't married when it happened and you weren't. It proves you didn't want to hurt anyone. You are not the first person this has happened to. You must look within and forgive yourself. Allow yourself to move on. You have asked forgiveness from everyone. You cannot force anyone to forgive you. Don't spend the rest of your life trying to make others forgive. You can't make anyone do anything. Only you can do what you want. You must talk to God. Solve it with him. God forgive those who truly believes in him. You must free yourself of such harsh judgement. Allow yourself to love yourself and your husband, your families. You will heal. Don't waste anymore time in the past. You have a beautiful voice with which you share with the world. You don't owe us anything as fans. Thanks for sharing that part of you. I wish you peace, LeAnn.

Leann Rimes was a child country star !!!! I do not beleive in cheating, you can leave before its that simple.... I dont hate her ,why would you hate someone you dont know or did nothing to you???? thats insane itself lol... Eddie and leann will have to deal with this within themselves because when you cheat on your wife,husband there is not trust and thats one hot little word that is hard to have back..... which means its a done deal in the end.... As for Brandi that is one cray woman , it seems that shes always drinking and showing her body... She is not a good role model for her boys .... You dont hurt children and take them away from the parent just because someone cheated, children are innocent and when a marrige is over for what ever reason the kids have been hurt enough as hard as it may be for Brandi the kids should be able to see the dad or share custody what ever the court says and they decide... its simple Cheating is stupid but its all over the place always has been always will be its up the person involved to fix whats wrong with thier own lives....

Clearly she isn't receiving the right kind of help. Just looking at her in photos, you can see something isn't right. Non-"celebrities " do not go to rehab for treatment due to anxiety and stress.

I agree except with the Angelina Jolie - I don't think it affected her at all. Plus when asked about it on an interview she was on she said there was no affair and they were friends. I think it depends on how big of a star you are as to whether people will forget bad morals.

LeAnn will never obtain what she could have before her affair scandal.... neither will Eddie Cibrian. Just like Angeline Jolie and Eddie Fisher... People do not completely forget bad morals of people in show business.
