Former Democratic Colorado Rep. Yadira Caraveo reportedly attempted to take her own life twice in 2024 while serving in Congress and campaigning for reelection.

The apparent suicide attempts, in February and April, involved high doses of prescription medication that prompted emergency responses to her home and congressional office, according to The Colorado Sun. Both events were previously undisclosed to the public and only came to light as Caraveo announced a new bid for Congress this year.

Emergency records reviewed by the outlet show that police responded to Caraveo’s Thornton residence on Feb. 8, 2024, after aides called 911 and reported suicidal behavior. Caraveo allegedly told officers she had taken 19 sleeping pills with alcohol, saying it would “put me to sleep for a while.” She was placed on a 72-hour mental health hold and transported to St. Anthony North Hospital for evaluation.

SUICIDE...the ultimate temper tantrum

Sounds like she needs to go home and focus on her mental health.

Literally won an election and still isn't happy about herself. Crazy stuff.

Yikes. Well, they say liberalism is a mental disorder, though I must admit to being unfamiliar with her or her positions on the issues.

She needs an old fashioned Sanitarium.

Former Rep. Yadira Caraveo, Now Looking To Reclaim House Seat, Drove Staffers to Therapy With Abusive Behavior
After the Colorado Democrat made two suicide attempts, her staffers wanted to remove sharp objects from her offices. They were told to deal with her behavior or resign.

Former Rep. Yadira Caraveo’s (D., Colo) staffers had to enter therapy after enduring the Colorado Democrat’s abusive behavior as she dealt with mental health struggles, including two suicide attempts witnessed by aides, the Colorado Sun reported Thursday.

Caraveo’s "frightening and traumatizing" behavior while serving in Congress and running for reelection last year prompted her aides to propose a safety plan, according to the Colorado Sun. They requested that sharp objects be removed from her offices and said they didn’t want to be responsible for talking her "through suicidal thoughts" or "keeping her company during a crisis."

The plan was rejected and the aides were told they had to put up with Caraveo or resign within a day. But apparently it wasn’t just Caraveo’s well-being that was at risk. Former aides told the Colorado Sun that Caraveo—who’s again running for office in 2026—would snap at them and cancel events due to mental health issues, then blame her staff for frayed relationships with community leaders and fundraising problems.

"It’s completely fine to struggle with mental illness," one former staffer told the Colorado Sun. "But it is one thing to struggle with mental illness and it’s another thing to weaponize it."

"Everyone left the office because of the way Yadira treated people and her mental stability," another said. ...

Here is an excellent example where the criteria for holding public office for the federal government is grossly deficient.

At a minimum, we should exclude from holding public office all those with clear mental maladies.  They are simply unfit.  Now it could be argued that such a rule would preclude all Democommies from holding office.  I am not kidding.  I am one who believes liberalism is a mental disorder.

When you have mindless maggots like Hakeem Jeffries as the leader of the Dems in the House, it is very difficult to say these people belong in Congress.  They do not.

When you have total idiots like Rep Jasmine Crockett who indicate the "Trump Administration kidnapped ...Garcia" and removed him from the USA, why would anyone vote for people this dumb?  Why?

This should apply to the "transgender" people, as well.

no, she’s a failure, two suicide attempts and both failures, obviously she is incapable of following through on her commitments.

Very true.  No follow through!
