Depression doesn't make a person do rational things.

No judgment whatsoever from me. I'm just very, very broken hearted by this. Please do everything you can to seek help if you're suffering from depression. Please. "It's not your fault. It's not your fault." Seriously.

This hurts. Grew up watching his movies and following his career. Having had family members deal with depression and dealt with on a small scale personally, this hits too close to home.

The worst part is that he thought he had nothing to live for and all of the love and support that's coming out in the news of his death shows that he did. He'll never get to see, or experience, any of it.

As bad as things seem now suicide is never the answer. There is always someone out there that loves you. Like JetFan said, find help. It's worth living.

Very sad to hear. Hoped that it was a hoax, but obviously not the case.

Yikes! Like dentists. Wonder why.

Underrated part of standup comedy: at that level, you're not just supposed to be funny, you're supposed to be funny right now . On a shitty Monday at 8, or the best day of your life at 11. And you can't let anyone know the difference. That means you're constantly lying to yourself about your feelings. Constantly in denial.

You also have to look into the darkest parts of yourself and the world and somehow make it funny ... I can see how that can weigh on you and cause issues.

Very sad day indeed. RIP.

Having directly known 5 people that have committed suicide the way I rationalise it is by saying depression is no different to cancer. Some people get cured, some don't, sadly this is the result when they don't get the treatment they need. It is a disease/illness of the brain and very difficult to diagnose and treat. Until more people start to think of it this way I don't think things will change. (sorry, not wanting to start a suicide thread!)

Terrible tragedy. I always enjoyed his movies. I was lucky enough to see him live for one of his comedy shows about 6-7 years ago. Brilliant comedian. He will be missed!!

Many moons ago I'd go to the spots he'd randomly show up and do improv, didn't know who was on for the night, just went because maybe he'd show up. Never got lucky. Alas. He could take a string of unrelated random current events and string them together into a hilarious narrative. His make s*** up as you go along at breakneck speed was unbelievable. I'd look aside and think, is someone getting this down? [video]http://youtu.be/-ZMsZUyjXdg[/video] There are a few other of his Charlie Rose appearances on YouTube, I think he was a somewhat frequent returning guest.

I can see how this post can easily bring about two different off shoot threads. 1. feelings and opinion regarding suicide and those that commit it! 2. feelings and opinion about depression and those that suffer from it or have experience or family member experience with it! Back to topic, I am sad that he couldn't find that which made his life worth living! (Assuming it was a suicide that is)

Decorum, to me at least, says to respect the departed. If you want to take the discussion elsewhere I'm sure we got the bandwidth to start a new thread.

I'm with @JetFan1983 . Just very saddened.

I'm confused as to what you are trying to say to me in the above post!

From some of these comments, I am guessing that some of you have never suffered from great depression.

It is a terrible illness. Many brave, intelligent people have had their lives destroyed by it.

Either he was not on meds, did not take his meds, or they could not find a pharmaceutical cocktail that worked for him. I guess that he suffered from depression his entire life. Can you imagine the roller coaster ride of Robin Williams? Lots of suffering took place during his life ... highs and lows.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
