BREAKING: Actor-comedian Robin Williams Found Dead

 
This discussion hits pretty close to home with me.  Not just because I suffer from depression... it's more due to the fact that I was dating a girl whose sister committed suicide.  Rather than trying to understand why her sister did what she did, she called her sister "selfish" and a "coward." 

It finally got to the point where I tried to explain to her that suicidal people are mentally ill at least 90% of the time, and that her not even taking her sister's perspective into consideration and writing it off as "cowardly" was the truly "selfish" action.


We broke up soon after.

YOU SUFFER FROM "DEPRESSION"???!??!!!?!!!??!!!?!?!?!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You ain't depressed brother, you're just selfish <<< Turning a legendary actor comedians thread into your BLOG= SELFISH

Go Make someone else important. Hold a door open, or ask someone how their day went without talking about yourself for once because no one really cares.

And Stop trying to justify your pill (ANTIDEPRESSENT) use on another persons death......... <<< ALSO SELFISH

Also being trapped in the thought that you are "MENTALLY ILL" will end you up in a SANITARIUM

I've seen it happen within less than 72 hours. Dude went from Normal to looking like a ZOMBIE. It's CRAY!! PSYCH MEDS Have absolutely no Medical Benefit or value.

YOU WERE CREATED WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU WERE INTENDED TO LIVE, OTHERWISE YOU WOULD'VE CAME OUT WITH A BOTTLE OF ZOLOFT

RIP to ROBIN WILLIAMS by the way....

So the solution to end your suffering even though you've achieved and done things people could only dream of doing and you possess a gift many others wish they had is to end your own life prematurely?

...like I stated earlier though, I'm uneducated when it comes to depression and how severe it can become but you never want anyone, especially someone of Robin Williams' merit to go out the way he did.
Then stop........
 
Heard on the radio this morning that police said he left some type of note. Also, said his wife was in the house when he hung himself. Police also reported there was a small knife with blood on it. They think he tried to slit his wrists. That didnt work so he used a belt to hang himself. So sad.
 
Much respect for Robin's talents he will be greatly missed.

I too fell what he did is selfish, you've gotta think about what this kind of thing does to your children, now what if God forbid one of them goes the same route?

You got to set that example be strong for them if nobody else,

but that's just my opinion as a dad.

Still the world has lost a great talent,

peace Robin.

You guys and the rest of the world need to stop acting like depression is an easily fixable choice. I can understand the lasting impact on his family though.
 
Letter from Zelda :
My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that's gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will forever be grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments. While Ill never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, theres minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn't help the pain, but at least its a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.

To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after youve had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too

Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls Ive ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. Well just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again.

show me where I said anything was easy or a choice?

In fact I spoke of the strength needed to fight such a battle,

why don't you have a seat and stop attacking people's OPINIONs

I'm sitting, and how's that an attack? Relax, it's nowhere near that serious. I'm addressing this prevailing notion in the thread that what he did/suicide in general is selfish. Selfishness is a choice. You fellas have to learn to not take everything to heart.
 
^^ my city :smokin :wow:

Yeah Turner Field was packed yesterday night. It's impossible to navigate downtown when the braves have home games :lol: random

No one is attacking your opinion, he/she is just simply stating that calling people who commit suicide "selfish" is not the best choice of words

Live for your kids, and in the same breath we will tell our kids don't live for us.

He probably was alive as long as he was suffering for his kids
 
It's amazing how people are so ready and willing to make these extreme judgment calls about a person's actions when they don't even have the slightest clue as to what was going on in their life.
