[@JohnDoe-ty5cs]

This is the best Joe Rogan moment 🔥 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4fGlWmPl7iaeKM

[@ILuCkYxCh4rMz]

Adam Niswonger there’s something that people don’t realize. With the over saturation of social media and the validation that people seek through all these avenues (FB, IG,TikTok, Snap, etc.) that they no longer can exist in the “REAL” world. They exist in the world they’ve created and find there isn’t anything satisfying outside of it. A lot of what’s going on in this country is because people FEEL their perception has value. When they find out that it’s their own view but not everyone values it, they lose their minds, get offended, go for their pound of flesh, etc. Realizing your on THAT island and then trying to escape is extremely hard. You’ve essentially marooned yourself and facing up to that is almost too much to handle. Whether it’s fame, work, attention, etc.

[@ILuCkYxCh4rMz]

E A totally agreed. I work in healthcare and can echo that “Finally” thought Choe touched on. When you make that connection for people it’s almost visible when they feel someone listening to them. People can say they’ll be there for you but you can’t be inside their own heads. When people lose that, that’s when the darkness comes for them. I believe Bourdain finally succumbed to it in a moment of weakness and based on the anger in Choe, he’s most likely seen it firsthand. Mental health is super important, but is so undervalued by society.

[@jessericheyTx]

Those who’ve almost hit that point of giving up before i think understood that exact thing. You’re absolutely right

[@mazzy6559]

Anthony Bourdains suicide really troubled me. He gave me hope for some reason about getting older and living life. What a loss

Chris Cornell as well..he had everything. Smart, good looks, talented musician and singer, loving family, and a dream job. Looking back a lot of his lyrics foreshadowed depression & suicide.

Especially knowing that there is a way we can all live together in prosperity having righteous and beneficial interactions every time we come across one another. Yet, here we are stuck and confused just sitting ducks making no attempt at reshaping our reality for the righteous prosperity of all life.

That's funny I had a different memory of the guy. I saw Anthony at a grocery store in Los Angeles maybe in....2014 I wanna say? I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

My brother described to me this thing (think it is Japanese) where this culture believes that demons can infect families. It’s how tragedy can be passed down through the generations of a family.

He cries because he identifies with the pain, the sadness, the depression. More than likely he's going through the same right now. Personally I've been there, I still go through it, it doesn't go away, you just live with it, you make yourself stronger and braver. I enjoy the happy moments to the fullest because when it rains it pours. I get frustraded, and sad then I have to kickstart my self to keep moving forward.

@Carl Ruiz Damn dude so funny look at us all laughing

[@stevedasbru]

The creative flair that makes you who you are is not linked to any symptom. They are not interdependent. Some with creativity do not have depression, and some with depression do not have creativity. To think in such a way is to identify yourself by your symptoms, and you are more than your symptoms. Would you tell someone suffering with an eating disorder that it is part of their personality? No, because you rob them of the mindset needed to change. Jordan Peterson's second rule for life: treat yourself as though you would treat someone you are responsible for helping. Although that also comes with the assumption that you want to change. You have to look deeply within yourself, and ask, "if there was a pill that could cure me of whatever misery I might be facing, would I take it? If there was any person in the world who could move me out of this mentality, would I listen to them? If there was any activity in all of human behaviour that could change my mindset and lifestyle, would I do it?" If you answer yes, you know what to do. If you answer no, maybe it's time to find out why you answered no. I answered no when I first asked myself that question, until I found within the expectations I thought others had placed on me, I had actually placed on myself. I came to know that if I were to die, all the burdens of guilt and sorrow would be placed on the shoulders who truly loved me. I hope you ask yourself these questions, and answer them honestly. I know what it is like to want to un-exist, and I can promise there is no greater feeling then waking up one day after months of self-work, and realising that you have made progress. There is no greater joy then saying to yourself, "I no longer want to die, I want to live a better life." Believe in yourself.

I just found out about Anthony bourdain and I’ve been really enjoying his parts unknown series. Literally was so into it. He has a super funny and relaxed personality, and I thought he was enjoying his life. When I wanted to look for more of his videos, his suicide was the first thing that came up. I’m completely shocked that he was so hurt on the inside.

My mom killed herself this last April, was a way different feeling then when my Dad died of cancer. It was more heavy and lingers in a much more negative way. I know if my mom knew the pain she would have caused those who loved her the most she would have never have done it. Went through a lot this last year since she passed. Got to a point where I was really angry with her, for not atleast writing me a note to say goodbye, feeling betrayed, feeling guilty since I hadn't spent as much time with her as I know I should have, feeling like the world has become this fucked up place and not sure if it's just the trauma or everyone is all kinds of fucked up right now. I've been like fantasizing about the past like the 90s and 2000s were some miracle time and that the world is all evil in 2020. When really I think my brain just wants to pretend things were better in the past because everyone I loved was still alive. I've found myself listening to old music, watching old movies, reliving old memories, and latching onto possessions from back in the day. It's like I don't want to be in the present. Anyways I don't know what the fuck i'm writing here, just that Suicide is fucked up and don't do it to those you love.

Sometimes life is so painful you can't live for other people anymore. Death seems a release

[@Manakel112781]

@@greent16 painful it is, but if you give up the fight you'll never know the hope, joy, and memories that may have been if you kept trying. This may be the only shot in this universe you'll ever have, hell of a thing to waste. I understand depression, anxiety, and constant pain. I'm in it now. But I refuse to let go of hope. Hope that one day, possibly a very long time from now, things will get better. I believe my pain will plant seeds that will eventually bare fruit. But i'm not giving up for anyone or anything. I'm not giving into weakness and pain just because it hurts.

[@greent16]

@@Manakel112781 I've thought of ending it all quite a few times. Your mind becomes a torment and your body becomes a prison. People usually end it when they see no end in sight and nobody can know another person's life, no matter how close they are. I can't imagine what you must be feeling. I hope it drives you to better things. In the end, each person's life is their very own journey. It's hard to understand how unbearable it might be.

[@someguy1994]

@@Manakel112781 Do me a favor and go listen to the song Hold on to Memories, by Disturbed. It's a song that talks about exactly how you're feeling right now, and it might help you repackage these thoughts. I also think that you should start focusing on trying to forgive your mother. She found a permanent solution to temporary problems. I think your best course of action right now would be to seek out a therapist. You just seem to need someone who can help you process. I work in mental healthcare, and I have complete faith in you, my friend. Just by how you're speaking, you're doing a fantastic job of acknowledging your feelings. Depression is like blurry vision, It doesn't make the world better or worse, it just makes it more difficult for you to see the world with clarity. I've always kind of disliked how people call suicide selfish, but the problem is it tends to transfer the feelings to the loved ones who cannot follow. The pain will never fully go away, but it will become more manageable. You don't deserve any of this, but you do deserve to deal with it with dignity.

3:33 after what he said I started to cry. All my life I felt like I was alone. I never felt loved or worthy for anyone just the way I am, neither for my parents or my friends. I felt betrayed by the world and that’s why I hated everyone, including me just for who I was. Because I felt unworthy und unloved. For me I tought that no one was perfect and thats totally fine and right so but yet they had their family‘s who loved and accepted them for who they were. I felt miserable not having that. I was only accepted when I delivered, in school, sports and so on… That‘s when I learned that at the end of the day, I will always have me and only me. I wanted to prove everyone wrong, that I was someone. So I swore to myself that I will never talk something right because I couldn‘t handle the truth. I promised myself that I would never lie to myself about how things are and were. Because I knew that no one was going to help me and if I let myself down, they won. I knew the biggest disrespect in my life could only come from myself if I failed me. And by living by that motto, I started to accept myself and eventually also to love myself. The reason why I cried when I heard him talk is that I felt it and knew what he was talking about. He saw the things as they were and he didn‘t wanted to tell him that everything was just going to be fine and you are fine the way you are like some people do when they try to condole someone. I love him for saying that because I know he was not trying to be mean, he was trying to reach him emotionally. That‘s how I talk with my friends when they come and talk with me about their problems. I try to tell it as it is. Wisdom is good but as long as you don‘t feel what the words are trying to say to you, they are only going to be words. Thank you for reading.

My brother or sister. You will be well. If depression is getting to you do something intense. The reason I was depressed was for seeing my self as the victim of depression what freed me from it was seeing my self as the oppressor. The one creating the depression. I was making choices that dis not bode well with my self and the depression was me telling myself that I was making choices that were not mine. Stay strong

There is a passage by Thoreau, about how most men live lives of quiet desperation. all the things they worry and stress about, the pain and inadequacies they feel. And the pressure by society to keep that shit to yourself and "Man Up". Check in on yourself and other men in your life. It doesn't make you a pussy to have feelings.

So I'm a Vet sitting in "veteran's home" because 2 years ago I tried to kill myself. I wasn't a hero; I don't have a chest full of medals .... sadly, I can't claim that as a reason why I'm broken. Watching Tony's show ... it was one of the escapes I relied upon. I didn't have the money, so I couldn't travel to the amazing places he did. I'm a crappy cook, so I didn't have the skill to make the amazing food you saw him eat every week. Watching David Choe break down .. like I have a few times, makes me feel just a little better because even though I didn't have the personal connection, that .... whatever .... I had for Tony and his work is validated; someone else felt that and I wasn't alone. Being alone .... when I sat awake at 4am with no one to talk to .... that was when the demons came out. Being alone, at least in my opinion, is what kills so many of us. #22

Yo bro, you are not alone.

If you ever feel alone, and the demons start talking, call someone, fuck, hit the internet. Sure there are plenty of assholes in it, but there are also tons of good people that will more than gladly listen to you and talk with you. Just reach out, and someone will take your hand.
