RIP, Robin Williams?

[PreggoBitch]

So sad, Saw this last night and burst into tears. I know I didn't know him personally, but when I think about all the times he made me laugh when I was feeling sad, there is a little sparkle gone from my life. I feel for his family and hope that his death won't be be vain and that people who have such serious mental illnesses will be able to access the help needed.

I am one of those people, so I know how they feel about people who "talk crap", which is why I am never one of them.

Everybody here has an interest in porn of one form or another, but we also have other interests. Diversity is a good thing, don't you know.

You English fuckers are always adding unnecessary letters to words.

Comedians are the saddest people. That's what makes them so funny.

Clinical depression isn't about being "sad," in need of a treat or something fun to do.

It makes ordinary tasks like getting out of bed when you have great places to go and fun people to see feel like you are doing water aerobics in a bowl of cold oatmeal.

Depression is where you are unable to enjoy the things that make you who you are. When you can't afford a trip to Baskin Robins, you are sad. When you have a personal chef and an ice-cream maker at home and your favorite flavor of ice cream does not taste good to you, you are depressed.

Suicidal ideations are sometimes co-morbid with depression sometimes not. Sometimes entirely other reasons prompt suicidal thoughts. Some of those things might be environmentally induced, such as the loss of a relationship or a job. People do not typically kill themselves because of negative life events. When a suicide seems to coincide with one of those factors it is more likely that that was the last straw and the person simply gave in.

There is no one you know so happy, so together, so concerned for the people they would leave behind that they would never consider it in a lifetime of environment and biology. Anyone is potentially at risk, more so if they start to withdraw and isolate.

This is a great post and very helpful to those of us (me) who has a hard time understanding this problem people have.

Thank you.

Nicely put. You're pretty smart and eloquent.

Sorry if I offended you or anyone.

Thank you.

So, you only praise people who survive an illness and think those the succumb are weak? Because, that is EXACTLY what you're saying with comments like the you insensitive fuckwad.

He was depressed because he had a depressive disorder of some sort. It had nothing to do with his career, his family, his bank account or any of the things that morons like you think should negate his depression, you insensitive fuckwad.

You know I love you, right?

homeless vets and other people with financial issues that "keep on" are not suffering from a debilitating illness that is sever and chronic depression. It is not something that is altered in the long term by things, money and adulation. Citing thing like money and fame as a cure for depression is a kin to expecting those thing to cure cancer, or herpes. That's NOT how it works and its incredibly insensitive to say such nonsense.

My eyes are so swollen this morning. So many tears shed over someone I didn't even know.

betty, you do this exact same thing on a yearly basis. how many times do you need to learn something before you stop being a douchebag?

 

[Riles]

You cannot rationalize the irrational. Seeking for answers to "why" is an exercise in futility for those that do. Best anyone can do is educate themselves on what mental illness is, recognize it for themselves and let the steps of grief take you to acceptance and peace.

The rest is all just....noise.

It's part of my charm.

I have the ability to admit when I am wrong or see the error in my ways. To try to understand the things I do not.

It's a work in progress dolf. I am a work in progress. Not unlike yours and not unlike you.

 

[dolf]

except that you don't progress! every sodding time, you make a douche comment about depression, several people explain, you SAY you get it and you're sorry. every. fucking. time.

you're groundhog day.

 

[Killswitch]

Seems like that sometimes, doesn't it.

It is genuine. My gear changing if you will.

Like manic depression, I am nice guy/douchebag. lol

They probably have a name for that too.

I may change betty's name to phil.

Christ, that's harsh!

Is that an english thing?

It's absolutely NOT functioning properly. It loses the ability to regulate neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin, and you will either kill yourself or do whatever the fuck it takes to get them back. You can turn to drugs SO EASILY; you can listen to people who still want to stigmatize your very real disease and tell you to just get over it, when what you really need is TREATMENT. If you don't have depression, some people have very real reasons for killing themselves- that "permanent solution to a temporary problem" bullshit only makes sense when the fucking problem is TEMPORARY, and in people with functioning brains, that doesn't need to be stated.

God, as somebody with 7 fucking attempts under his belt and a lifetime of mental problems just... fucking fuck you. Seriously. Attitudes like this CAUSE suicides. Because it keeps people from getting help. "Your body isn't broken, you just can't let go of anxiety!"

Fuck that shit. You can't let go of anxiety because letting go of anxiety requires dopamine in your synapses and I don't have that. And if I'd had anybody that gave a shit about me I would have known to go a doctor and get REAL medication instead of pumping myself full of those neurotransmitters in the most dangerous way possible. But now I get to have fucking seizures and the knowledge that I've probably passed along a crippling disease to my offspring; and we're gonna get that nipped as soon as it starts. Your kid has diabetes, you get them insulin. Your kid has clinical depression, you get them neurotransmitters. You don't fucking tell them to let shit go and act like it's their fault their body's fucked up.

While I can appreciate your POV, the thread could do without all the Psycho-babble lecturing. That is what WebMD is for . You have strong feelings on this subject why not start another thread? I wonder if Robin read your comments would he be able to contain himself and resist poking fun at it? Perhaps he would offer to help but the temptation would be great. Sometimes he would just go off like a bomb and rattle afew things off quickly like he couldn't control himself. I imagine he might say something like this..

I'm sorry to hear that, have you considered 8 might be your lucky number?
Do you feel lucky punk? Well do you?
Is there anything I can do?
Push you off the top of a tall building?
Need better drugs? I know people.
How could you fail 7 times?
Dude you suck at that.
Time to give life a try.

Seriously though, I don't understand what makes people commit suicide and to be honest I don't want to. I don't think that can ever be fathomed unless you could crawl inside a persons brain and see the world through their eyes & understand WHY they want to do such a thing. Id rather think about life, having fun and other stuff. The thing is he always made me laugh because there is a little crazy in all of us, more in some than others . Sadly there is far too little laughter in the world and far too much hate which is the biggest WHY he will be missed.

^^^^ This...

No matter how much people (us here on this Board or people on Twitter, Facebook, or anywhere else) try to make sense of what he did and why, we will never know. Only Robin knows why. Only Robin faced his particular demons, and decided this was the answer. Only Robin knows the pain he felt. I only hope that he is no longer plagued by the darkness, the pain, those demons and now finds only happiness and contentment. I hope he finds the comfort, the light, the angels that perhaps he so desperately seeked in this world, but could not find.

RIP Robin Williams. God Bless you. May you find the light in God's love.... and may you make God laugh.....

 

[Beco]

Hold on there Missy. You're quote is way off path. Lots of good people die each day that aren't loaded with money and fame and don't suck on a tailpipe.

Williams was selfish, and has hurt a lot of people for such a funny man.

F-Him.

There is always one ding-a-ling that does this in every RIP thread. Just wish him peace or just don't post at all. Good lord....

RIP Robin.... Sorry to see you go, but all I can say is, thank you.

Huh, when you get it right, you get it.

It's incredibly sad. I understand the anger Killswitch was expressing, but to dismiss depressive suicide as a selfish act minimizes the baffling and chronic pain. Sometimes - maddeningly - a suicidal person sees their own demise as a favour to everyone around them. I say this as someone who spent almost half her life picking up the pieces after experiencing this kind of loss. It's devastating for everyone.

 

[Lancecastor]

....hanged himself with a belt inside his Northern California home on Monday and left no suicide note, authorities said.

How very ordinary.

 

[great lover]

I really hope this isn't true. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robin-williams-dies-suspected-suicide-724724

Yes it is true.
