killed himself in a fit of depression
Hanging yourself in a sitting position is the most common way to hang yourself. You put the noose around your neck and stretch out your legs and the noose cuts off the carotid artery, you die in seconds. If you've ever googled 'suicide' you'd know that. It's only in movies that people hang themselves from the ceiling,…
They don't necessarily need to when their family knows they've been depressed. Clinical depression doesn't mean you are sad about something specific. It means you can't pull yourself out of the dregs of hell. I'm not at all surprised that so few people leave notes.
I think you're taking speculation to a ridiculous degree. It is a myth that a majority of people leave suicide notes.
Unless the report indicates his pants were around his ankles, etc., I'm not clear why you're putting this (supposedly) "obvious" nonsense out there. A former colleague and friend of mine killed herself, in a closet the same way, and she wasn't playing with herself. L'wren Scott used a scarf hung from a door knob. …
Funny how nobody ever tells someone with cancer to just "snap out of it".
Yeah. One of my white friends posted something about how people talking about Robin Williams should STFU because Michael Brown was murdered. I didn't feel like arguing with her, but seriously:
I can only click the star one time.. but stars to infinity for you <3
If it were legal, I would gladly beat that prick to death with a baseball bat. Preferably one signed by the baseball legend Fidel Castro. It'd be a fitting end to a fucking horrible excuse of a life.
I know that doesn't need to be said, but I am saying it anyway. Robin Williams had a bravery few people will ever know. He used his own torment to bring humor and joy to millions. He fought his demons long enough to be there for his family and raise his beautiful baby daughter into a wonderful young woman. He…
Robin Williams saved my life. His character in Good Will Hunting put my own abuse in context that real therapy couldn't. How good of an actor do you have to be to play a therapist and be so convincing that you help someone you've never met?
I was so appalled when I saw that photo on that website about his treatment that I immediately clicked away and won't go back. I don't want them getting any more clicks from me. It was one of the most offensive things I've seen on a gossip site. And that says a lot.
You know what I think? I think anyone who's never stood and stared suicide in the face should shut the fuck up. I think anyone who hasn't cried themselves to sleep and wake in the morning only to find fresh tears are already falling should sit the fuck down. I think anyone who doesn't understand what it's like to be…
In this case it was (correctly) labeled suicide because he had been struggling with deep depression, was fully dressed, and had superficial cuts on his wrist (from a bloody knife found nearby).
I was pleased to hear discussion on NPR of it - they kept calling it a disease, saying that he "died from depression" which is the right way to say it. People do not understand how different depression is from their bad moods or grief they sometimes have.
One of my FB friend's posts was really douchy—he didn't understand why people were so moved by an actor's death. I basically said fuck you, RW was my dad's friend, they worked together for years, and it's okay if people are moved by the death of an artist. There are better things to worry about.
Exactly.
Fuck this article, I'm starting a thread
I think this again highlights what another post from last week was saying about how people just do not understand depression. He was not a 'coward', he was being crushed under a weight so heavy no one can even imagine it unless you have the misfortune to live through it. He couldn't go on anymore despite his fame,…
Hey, i wonder if Shepard Smith should be smashed upside the head with a shovel, tied up and forced to watch live footage from BlizzCon for 24 hours. Hey, don't get mad, i'm not making threats or anything like that, i'm just wondering aloud.
