​@@georgepush703yeah, it's definitely a demon trying to kill you, Robin Williams was a good man with a good heart from the words of pretty much anyone that knew him, business or personal. Suicide is a sin and when good smart people who are cautious in life have no routes for the devil to take them, Satan turns to suicide and depression and that's the devil's way of taking good hearted intelligent cautions humans.

[@jetrexdesign]

@@ryanl8730 It's the subconscious.

I attempted suicide last year. I took all my Medications and I overdosed. The same night I became unconscious. 4 days I was in my apartment. I puked, sh!t myself, fell around and it was all blacked out. At the end I layed there unconscious. My mom and two friends rescued me on the 4th day. I was brought to a hospital. This deep darkness took 6 days and I became conscious again. I had kidney failure and a sitting/laying trauma, because I was on the hard ground for so long. I was afraid that I lose my girlfriend and so I said ok im going away. That was my intention. My suicide attempt taught me to be complete in myself when I really lose her. And so I became complete. Eventually a year after, the relationship really ended. But I was complete in myself. My kidney is working again and I'm fine.

I saw an ad recently. It was two friends who go to watch the football together. One was always really thoughtful and inclusive and active, and the other was really quiet and not very expressive. One day at the football game, the extroverted one gave the quiet one his football scarf. The quiet man was reluctant, but took the scarf as a nice gesture. The next time the football was on, there was an empty seat. The quiet friend sat down, and put his friend's scarf on the seat next to him. It's never the person you suspect. Look out for everyone.

He would have committed suicide at some point. Don’t forget that he was dealing with Body Lewey disease. He knew that he was going to basically lose his mind and his body. He couldn’t handle that - not many people could. It’s just sad that he had to be cursed with that disease.

My (now) previous live in ex-girlfriend and I l walked up on him on Union Street in SF getting something from his White Range Rover in the late 90's and, while she was admiring the vehicle, I was more interested in the fact that it was Robin Willaims. (I have met all my music heroes through the decades, so I am never overwhelmed by anyone. That helps) I firmly believe everyone has that dark place, it's just that some are more open than others. (BTW, I have no drug or smoke history at all and very rarely have a drink. Overindulging, what does that really get you?)

[@Mulejaw]

When people have a physical illness others gather to assist but when people suffer of mental health issues they get abandoned by friends and family. Speak to anyone who has suffered with such issues and you will find that more often than not it is the case. It’s easy to say get help, but help like therapy is expensive and when you get to the point you are so depressed you find yourself considering suicide, you are barely able to feed yourself or brush your teeth or pick up the phone let alone engaging in a convoluted search for some outlet which you may not be able to afford. If there is a mental health crises it’s because the resources aren’t there and the general population are not aware of what it actually means. Sometimes seaking a solution in such a climate only become an added burden to someone who is already hopeless and at their lowest point. Sorry to burst your bubble and I am in no way condoning suicide but imagine if someone like robin williams or bourdain, people who have tons of folks around them, friends, family and financial resources, can go through with suicide, imagine what it must be like for your average human being who is broke and has absolutely no one. Much love to all and courage to the ones who find themselves there and may the rest of you never have to face such darkness.

I have been suffering extreme depression for along time, about 2 years ago, the depression began turning suicidal and I have been battling this since. Just like Robin says, there is a voice, but is your own voice that keeps telling you to die. You can argue with this voice but again it is your own voice. It is like waking up one day finding you are in the fight for your life and your enemy you are fighting is yourself, you come face to face every time you stand infront of a mirror. When I realised I needed help, I reached out. First by ringing hotlines, then speaking to my doctor, and a counsellor. I live in Australia, and can tell the world, mental health help here in Australia is almost none existent. There is not enough budget or resources. And once it becomes known you are suffering people you knew start to distance themselves from you. Lucky I have a very adorable teacup pomeranian with me , the thought of her missing me keeps me waking to a other day, but each new day seems a little harder than the day before.

Treat the voice in your head giving bad ideas the same as you would a stranger giving you bad ideas. And also, the things you tell yourself, would you say them to someone else? I bet not, so get into a new habit of catching yourself saying negative things to yourself and letting your mind go quiet instead.

It is not always depression. Sometimes folks simply realize in a moment of mis-judged clarity 'well.. it isn't going to get any better' so I believe they simply decide to draw a line under it all. Loneliness can be a luxury, but it can also be a danger, because some of us need that special person to remind us that THEY need us to stick around. It doesn't pay to overanalyze life... Just live it well and on your terms. Keep on pushing, keep on challenging yourself. Finding your PASSION is the key. 👍🌞 EDIT: I am not a medical professional.

I was beautiful back then too!😂🤣 But here I am, 33 YEARS later with a lot less hair and I am still doing it... Still pushing!!! Last February was BAD. I had just been dumped by my girlfriend of six years, I had just been shot at five times (angry French hunters), had armed police at the house, the loneliness of being in a foreign country, having poor health anyway (no large intestine after an operation to remove Ulcerative Colitis in the early 90's), and the general overwhelming sense that the one person I thought REALLY got me had actually just s##t on me and rubbed it in with abusive messages etc. So I had decided on this one day that was it... This was going to be the day. No thought of guilt for my family or anything, but that dangerous sense of joy that there was always 'that'.... That was the one thing I could control! I finished my morning cup of tea and opened the kitchen curtains (I had slept on the kitchen sofa as my house is a filthy 400 year old renovation project), and BOOM!!! THE SUN CAME OUT! 🌞 Hit me right in the face and INSTANTLY burned some sense into me!!! And as corny as it sounds I pulled all my music equipment out if the cupboards and with tears rolling down my face I wrote 'Saved by the Sun'. So there it is... A world exclusive for you!! This song was a gift, a song I had taken for granted for a year until I left my first comment here, and I intend to record a short video and upload this song to prove to you that I am not making this up, and to quote a line from the chorus "Just think of the joy you would miss!"

My suicidal feelings aren't like that. I never feel like I'm ok. The pain and depression exist at different levels at different times but never go away and neither does the idea of suicide. It's probably different for different people. I loved Robin. Was so sad and shocked to hear of his passing and the way he went.

[@wrestlerguy24]

I've been a therapist for over a decade and I believe so much of depression and suicidal thoughts come down to learning to respond to trauma/pain early on by going to a shame-based place. When we get used to going to that place in times of suffering, we get very "practiced" in it. Our natural inner voice then tends to be one of "I'm no good, I deserve suffering, I'm lazy," etc. In its harshest form, it looks like what Robin endured. So terrible.

[@julianadamico4702]

Wrestler---- " we go to a shame-based place" ?

[@wrestlerguy24]

Sorry for being unclear. Yes. Shame-based as in "I'm no good, I'm worthless, I'm less than others, I deserve pain/difficulty," etc.

[@Ryu-v8r]

I attempted suicide last year. I took all my Medications and I overdosed. The same night I became unconscious. 4 days I was in my apartment. I puked, sh!t myself, fell around and it was all blacked out. At the end I layed there unconscious. My mom and two friends rescued me on the 4th day. I was brought to a hospital. This deep darkness took 6 days and I became conscious again. I had kidney failure and a sitting/laying trauma, because I was on the hard ground for so long. I was afraid that I lose my girlfriend and so I said ok im going away. That was my intention. My suicide attempt taught me to be complete in myself when I really lose her. And so I became complete. Eventually a year after, the relationship really ended. But I was complete in myself. My kidney is working again and I'm fine. My suicide attempt was that I really wanted to go. I don't have suicidal thoughts or a voice that told me to do it. I really wanted to go. Though when i drank my death cocktail I didn't want to Die. I did it anyway. So i learned Fear is really not wanting. The elements that we don't want. And since we don't want to die, this voice comes from our denial of wanting to die. Which is actually good but when you try to get rid of that voice you strengthen it and the resistance becomes unbearable

[@serumser1]

@@Ryu-v8r thanks for sharing. I almost attempted suicide in a lisbon bridge. what happended was: I drove the car, got out, looked at the water and then I got distractated by the beauty of the sun, all the houses I could see, the pretty blue sky. I realized I diddn't wanted to die. Called 911, ambulance, car towed, emergency psychiatry. I had lost all hope, was miserable in jan 2021. All events canceled, could not run any races, problems with family and money. Things got better, not great. I still have the voice telleing me "i want to die" but it's just weakeness. I chose to be strong, let go what I can, change and learn. It gave me a new perspective when all i wanted was to die. I didn't bridge jump and now I can inspire others to move on, educate, share, fight for what I think has a meaning

Once a person starts to isolate and gets stuck in negative thought patterns, going to bed long after midnight, rising past noon, engaging in porn and other forms of depravity, video games, weed...drip by drip the soul is corroded thus leaving a space for hopelessness and evil to rush into and fill.

It's ironic my first experience with depression was triggered by losing my religion because depression is the closest thing to demonjc possession I can imagine. Feels like a physical presence in the brain that wells up like a snake and drags your soul down on some malicious whim, and even when you feel closest to "normal" you can feel it coiled up in a corner of your brain, watching and waiting for the perfect moment to take you again.

[@Apededos]

Let me make it clear, Depression is not a disease. Depression is a symptom of an underlying issue, usually some kind of trauma. Depression can come when life is too painful. It's a coping mechanism of the body to deal with pain and trauma. After going through hell and experiencing huge amounts of anxiety and pain (which also led to depression), I decided to help myself and to get on antidepressants (ssri). This was the best thing I could have done for myself. During this time I've also been working with a therapist on the root of these imbalances. There's no shame in taking medicine, or to be treated at a therapist's. We have to do what's best for us , and it's our choice and our choice alone. No matter how many people surround you, unless you choose to help yourself, nothing is going to really change.

[@SuperMichelleDJ]

I'm glad medicine and therapy works for you. The only thing I can do is natural therapy like fruit and vegetables and exercise. Nothing else helps, talk therapy does nothing. When I'm not hungry I just eat fruit and vegetables because I know they won't fill me too much but I won't starve to death. and exercising gives me a distraction so that I'm not feeling more hopeless than I am already. medication and psychological therapy never changed any of that.

[@Apededos]

@@SuperMichelleDJ It's great that you exercise. It does wonders for the sense of well being, even beyond a distraction. Have you tried any other kind of therapy rather than talk therapy ? I find that body focused therapy is much more efficient because it bypasses the "mind" and goes right to the core. Body sensations and body memory are prior to verbal communication. That's why I think it works better. As for medication, its not for everybody, but know that there are many families and brands within those families which each person reacts to differently. I tried Prozac first which wasnt feeling good for me, and then switched to zoloft.
