I agree. The same could be said about Kurt Cobain, Chester Bennington and Layne Staley. They were born to experience great suffering whilst simultaneously bringing happiness to millions across the world. They were Angels born into human form in order to experience martyrdom in the worst ways. Their spirits are always with us and their legacy continues to bring joy to the hearts of people for the rest of time. All four were beautifully flawed but not defined by their hurt, they were defined with the God given legacy they were blessed with in order to fulfill their individual Earthly prophecies.

I saw Chris Cornell at Massey Hall in Toronto in 2014 and I will always regard that concert as the best that I've ever seen. When he spoke he was so down to earth , talking about his wife and family, and when he opened up the pipes he brought the house down, literally. It was a sold out show and one that I will always remember. He didn't even have a band, because in short, he didn't need one and he had everyone eating out of his hand. I will never forget his amazing talent, but more than that, I will certainly never forget the way he treated his fans. A true gentleman and unbelievable musician. He is definitely with the angels.

I was dependent on benzos. They are a nightmare to come off. I went into psychosis in the beginning. Then insomnia, seizures, hallucinations, depersonalization, suicidal thoughts. Never underestimate benzodiazepines. And they are being given all the time to opioid addicts who are trying to get off. It's senseless.

[@sonofhibbs4425]

When you say dependant you should make it clear this wasn’t by choice. You weren’t abusing them. Most people hear that and think oh your problem is that you’re a drug seeker, but it’s not true. It needs to be explained to people that what dependant means is that your body cannot function correctly without it. In fact, so much so you could die. It strips a person from their choice to stop taking them. One has to taper off these “medications”. And sometimes that taper can last years as it’s that difficult to cope with the physical mental and emotional problems that happen when it’s removed. Worst thing is most people develop a tolerance....and most docs don’t WARN people of these consequences of taking them. In my opinion that’s a crime!

[@a.b.37-f9v]

@@sonofhibbs4425 This is very true. I was prescribed xanax after PTSD from domestic violence. My doctor never warned me of any side effects. Sometimes I want to blame myself for not doing my own research but it was the doctor's responsibility and she failed. I've learned since not to trust blindly in doctors as they are profiting from the drug companies. You don't know how well they actually do THEIR OWN RESEARCH and where their true allegiance lies. I hit withdrawal tolerance and had no idea what was happening to me. Went to the er and they treated me like a junkie just looking for drugs. It was humiliating. I had to pretty much go it alone except for reaching out to ppl on online benzo communities. My parents tried to understand and did what they could. After several months my senses started returning...this can be terrifying. Also being in a constant state of derealization and dark depression. It's a long process. I still can't follow a paragraph or concentrate on anything for a long period of time. I can say at a little over a year off it has gotten better, but some days i have to check my notes from months ago to make sure.

Cameron Jacobs u shouldn’t need drugs or anything to combat depression, the reason become depressed when they weren’t before, is because drugs and alcohol have wrecked their brain causing damage and rewiring connections to where they are not working how they’re supposed to. Best way to make it out is to give up all drugs and alcohol and workout everyday for around 3years or more if it’s serious, and I bet most people will be able to beat it. The problem is, when it’s really bad, people go to the doctor saying I can’t do this, I need something to help me make it through, when in reality, the only way through is forward, and not through drugs if you never needed them in the first place

[@roadapple66]

@@fawkkyutuu8851 Thank you for this critical information. You are correct about doctors over prescribing whatever the pharmaceutical companies are pushing. I remember when there were certain anti-depressants that caused young people to dwell on thoughts of suicide. Even though the data was there, and it would be obvious to any reasonable person that these drugs were, at least in part, responsible for many young people killing themselves; the big pharmaceutical corporations, and the people in the field(s) of medical care, kept on prescribing these drugs. They were also manipulating the data to falsely show that these anti-depressants were harmless and did not have any bearing on the number of suicides committed by the youths that were taking these drugs exactly the way the doctors prescribed them which was in accordance with the drug manufacturers recommended dosages. After many high profile lawsuits, filed by the victims's families and state Attorney Generals, the drug manufacturers have repurposed these anti-depressants as drugs that are prescribed for nerve pain. The warning labels on these drugs now read something to the effect of: This medication is NOT an anti-depressant. It is intended for the treatment of nerve pain. Use of this (these) drug(s) may cause suicidal thoughts in persons under the age of 25 years. Do Not prescribe this medication to any patient under the age of 25 without close supervision of medical care providers. They are still pushing this poison, only now it is intended for the treatment/therapy of a different condition! Unbelievable! I know this is happening because I have seen the same medication, that was widely prescribed by V.A. Mental Health (to treat depression) for many years, now being prescribed by the V.A. Primary Care Physicians for nerve pain and as an anti-anxiety medication for PTSD! Many of these patients are young people that are returning home, from the hell that is the field of battle, and they need help coping with their day to day lives. It seems the V.A.'s intent is to push them into suicide. Our healthcare system is indeed corrupt. Greedy pharmaceutical companies, and medical professionals, are prescribing these poisons to their patients; knowing full well the harm they are causing to these individuals and society as a whole. Different people react differently to medications that are in common use. What may cause little affect for one person, may have a catastrophic affect for another: This is what you informed me of, and you are absolutely correct. I was looking at Chris Cornell's case from a legal point of view, when I should have been looking at it as a person that may have been done great harm by medical professionals that he trusted.

When you mix Benzodiapines with alcohol the effects will alter your mental status therefore you are unable to make conscious precise decisions like when you're sober.

Gotta disagree on the mild sedative statement. 1. Benzodiazepines are far from mild. They're extremely potent and highly addictive in a very short period of time. Doesn't matter who you are, you take benzodiazepines for a few weeks and you're looking at a tapering schedule. You can't just stop, it messes you up so badly. 2. Benzodiazepines can have a paradoxical effect in some cases, causing extreme agitation, anxiety, depression, and suicidal urges. It's a highly over- and inappropriately -prescribed, life-destroying medication which is used haphazardly by doctors all over the world without any accountability on their parts. Should be criminal. And mixed with alcohol, it suppresses breathing to the point of fatality. A deadly combination and well-documented. Right on the black box warning.

I know this because my mom was one of the 20%, and the staff at the nursing home just wanted to give her heavier anti-psychotics. I pushed back hard, demanded a meeting and her hospice case manager brought in an administrator who cited studies describing exactly my mother's reaction, and what also sounds like Chris' reaction. Remember that pharmaceuticals aren't 100%. It's a mathematics/stats game where they target the average response and ignore the outliers. Same thing with synthroid - those number are even worse, at 75%. God help you if you have hypothyroidism and you're one of the 25% in freefall because no matter how much your doctor adjusts your meds, they just don't work for you.

Ben Longwell addiction is a choice. Or at least that’s how it starts.

[@xandra_5099]

@@briandavis7643 what that does have to do with it being a disease though? I always hear this..."addiction is not a disease, it's a choice" who says its not both? You make the choice to use, not to change your brain chemistry. You make the choice to smoke, not develop lung cancer. You make the choice to over eat and not exercise, not suffer from heart problems/diabetes. You can make the choices to do alot of things that result in major health problems or death. Doesn't make them any less a disease. Disease noun. a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment.

[@briandavis7643]

Xandra Ann I agree with what your saying. Choice first, then chronic disease. But it is a choice first, not a disease. Chris was an addict that had multiple relapses, and he made what I consider to be a very cowardly choice to end his life and leave his family without a husband and a father.

My bf used to work in logistics moving sound equipment for events, concerts. He met chris briefly. All he said was Chris was a nice dude and smelled amazing lol and that his wife was the one calling the shots and.....let's be nice and just say she wasnt a pleasant person

[@Colleenscooter]

B Diaz maybe she was trying to control the madness of the business and life in order to protect him. Maybe he loved her for being the kind of person who would try. That much creative talent and inner pain would make anyone delicate.

[@lindadote]

Colleen Freese ......that would more accurately describe Chris’s *first* wife Susan Silver, who managed Soundgarden (among other Grunge bands of the time). Chris was set to divorce Vicky and I genuinely believe the answer to his death lies squarely with her. I’ve read often that Vicky was spending money as fast as Chris could earn it. Now Chris has gone, there’s a huge discrepancy (money missing) in monies raised for the organisation Chris and she ran to help vulnerable children. She’s withheld monies from Soundgarden, completely ignored Chris’s eldest daughter (Lillian) and God only knows who else she’s ripped off. Vicky is only interested in adding to her “Hermes” Collection imo and I don’t believe a word she says. Chris’ death should be reopened and properly investigated, something that for some unknown reason was never done.

Spill the beans please lol

[@tahatemel900]

Sometimes celebrities have to keep their image and cant express themselves especcially if they are drug addict and struggling with depression or introverts. People around him(his wife or friends oe bodyguard) have to keep them safe from their surroundings and be on alert for them. Sometimes especially after concerts musicians may be in need of someone to do such things for them. I guess this was one of those occasions.

[@tahatemel900]

She looks kinda bitchy tho

[@lisawalker91]

Look,I was an addict for years, been suicidal, been depressed, the ONLY time I was suicidal was when I was UNHAPPY in my life(romantic or otherwise) if I was in love and raising children and happy the thought would never come to me........and I'm speaking from years of experience....something stinks here.period.

The last I heard he was sober. I remember driving home from work and hearing the news on the local rock station. The gut feeling I had for the duration of the drive home was indescribable. I will forever be a be a fan. My kids will be fans. SEMPER FIDELIS

[@thomasrehder9608]

He abused Benzos

[@seattlerain4444]

@ThomasRehder. Really ? 2, 1mg Ativan ? That is not in any way shape or form an addiction. Please do some sound, unbiased, research on this case. Please also, research Chris's toxicology. Yes, there were "7 MEDICATIONS" in his system. One was caffeine, one was for acid reflux, one was even the medication the first responder administered etc. Someone "abusing benzos" would have expentiately higher levels in their bloodstream. Please get back to me if you can, to back up your "abusing benzos" theory. Just your wording tells me your are familiar with said medications, so please back up your comment. I would really like to hear why you feel, think and can prove medically, Chris was "abusing benzos" Thank you. 💚☘️🕊️

[@kimplumbblossom]

All these years later, I'm crying right along with her, for many reasons. Chris was an absolute genies and Angel on Earth. Now he has real Angel wings. My Ex killed himself, he was a substance abuser, and I found him. That was in 1999, and I will never get that sight out of my head. Our Daughter was 18 months old, and she is the only reason I fought so hard to not go insane. I do have PTSD from it, but manage it fairly well with meds. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU CHRIS! I know how his widow feels, because I had kicked him out days before it happened because I caught him using again, and I couldn't put my Daughter in danger. I don't blame myself though, he had been using ,"H", since he was 14, he couldn't get away from it. I have been with the best Husband in the world for 20 years now, and he is the BEST FATHER to both of our Children I could ever ask for! I love you, Howard, and you and the kids saved my life. To anyone who is suffering, get help, and never GIVE UP. Miracles do happen!

[@edyilky6778]

Thank you. I'm clean 14 years herion and crime life and I havw been plan best way to leave this system. I don't want to hurt my ex we broke up 2 months ago. I have been fight this 6-8 weeks. I'm broken. I will fight. Spiritual warfare really convincing to get us to kill ourselves. Your saving people with your story. You and your children will be blessed of their is a phuckin god. I doubt there is. Coward god allow this evil greedy world to go on. Thank you. 🎉

[@kimplumbblossom]

@@edyilky6778 , keep fighting. It gets BETTER, I PROMISE. Even if you don't feel it, you are loved. I don't know you, but I care about you. Yes, there is Evil, yes, this world is f@cked right now, BUT, there is Beauty, and there is LOVE. I'm not super Religious, but there could be no Evil without there being Good. Please don't do it. It's something you can never take back. I CARE. Hit me back,and we can talk more if you want. Just promise me you'll stay, just for today, that's all. Love, Kim Li

[@lindadote]

walter kersting ......I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic but there’s a great deal of money missing from a charity Chris and Vicky ran for vulnerable children. Everything was in order when Chris was around. Soundgarden had to sue her for money the band (among others VC managed) was owed, I don’t know if that’s been rectified yet. She’s bad news.
