Your' right and I totally agree. I have Depression since I was a child. Everyone knows me as a funny Person, and I am a funny Person, but when I'm alone, most of time I'm a different Person. You can't look inside someone. That's the worst thing about Depression...😐

[@331490MM]

Ya it's very sad he had this larger than life persona and great vibe but he had no idea of what he was going through. Reminds me alot of Robin Williams. The happiest people seem like the most broken because they are good at masking their true emotions to the world.

Yes..my feelings and thoughts will never heal...and what you mentioned ( his laughs, sense of humor, etc.) really affect me. Was lucky to see Linkin Park 4 times (concerts). Knowing HIM since 1999, having his songs synced with my life and won the contest to meet the band (aug.8 2017, Toronto) is impossible be the same person after he left. He took most of what i had good in my life with Him... i just wanted to hug him..no pics or anything...hug him and thank him for "being in my life and helping me" going through everything with his voice, screams and his big heart and courage. life is hard.. and He got as far as he could but the pain won. i know the feeling..I WILL MISS HIM FOREVER! :( LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL...

[@pamelaboisvert8976]

So incredibly cute

[@billwren5033]

I think the saddest thing about depression is you never really know someone is effected by it until its to late. By the interviews he gives nobody would ever know he was depressed. He laughs and cry's and feels and relates just like anybody who is not depressed. Its the moments when your alone when it hits and strikes out of nowhere. I am sure his wife knows but I am sure it was hidden from the children. I feel bad for the Family and people who knew him. I know its not easy to know someone is hurting and you feel powerless to help them. RIP Chester. I hope you found the peace you were looking for.

It's true.. I miss him so much till this day! I have rewatched it like maybe 264389 times..or more. At times, I'm still actually in denial :/ you don't really know what person is going through in their lives, that s why we should be compassionate and caring to each other. Also, he has been here in a very good, positive spirit, but..that doesn't mean that a longlasting mental illness as depression is away. It's always somewhere around.. You just have some better days or weeks, some not at all. It is always fluctuates.. that what I know at least from my experience,current, as well. So, feel hugged, LP family has your back !💪

[@312348]

We might’ve gotten the chance to hear Chester dig deeper into his love for Madonna, he might’ve mentioned what it was like to be literally on top of the world (with Hybrid Theory) at the same time as one of his biggest idols (with Music), he might’ve discussed how the heavy backlash she received throughout the 90s (before Linkin Park hit it big) leasing up to her triumphant return to the top with the experimental masterpiece Ray of Light inspired him to be unique and not be afraid to take musical risks, he might’ve even discussed his favorite era of Madonna and what precisely he liked about it the most... but no, instead he gets interrupted by “wHaT AbOuT ShAWn mEnDeS???” Ugh.

""I wanna let go, but there's comfort in the panic" Chester, i want to thank you for being such a big light in my life, for having such a srong presence and fuor having such an impact on my way of thinkng. i want to than you for sharing yourself with all of us, especially with me.. Words just can not explain how much you impacted my life and the way that i think about life. Every time i listen to Linkng Park's music im so touched, it sends chills down my whole body, it's like you've said before, their musc is so honest and real, that you can't help but just stop and isten mor closely.. i don't have a lot of songs that just cause's me to actually stop what i'm doing and pay close attension to their lyrics. and with them it's literally every single song.. i know all of their songs by heart, but i will still open up the lyrics while hearing their songs cause they're s special to me..each and every song have such great and meaningful lyrics, so much impact, it abslutly blows my mind.. I was so sad when he died, I was crushed.. and i'm so not the "fan girl" type of person with any artist or actor..it's just not me.. But when he passed I really felt like somone that i love, someone close to me passed away, i was devestated, and still am now i don't just listen to their music and read their lyrics, i absolutly cry in a lot of them.. He abolutly cried for help. it was known that he was strugling with menal issues and addiction (and i think that because i'm strgling with a lot of menal problems is why i had, and stll have, such a stog connection to them and to their music), but i never hought that he would take his own life.. CHESTER, thank you for being such and important person in my life, thank you for being such an amazing creator, for loving your fans, for loving your beautiful family and loving your band members. I'm so happy that I got to watch perform, this day was one of the best days in my life. *I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!*
