We have the single mother who's stressed out because she can't find the money to feed her kids. We look down on her.
We have the tramps we step over in the street 70% are ex military, they take a concoction of drugs and drink to drown out the horrors they've witnessed.
Then we have the rich and famous who get stressed out deciding which island to sail there boat over to, so that they can wash down there with a bottle of blue label Jonny Walker.
And who do we cry for!! |

until you have sat there in the very depths of terrible depression, thinking that taking your own life is the only solution and would make the world a better place, then who the hell are you to judge what another human being has done. Empathy? Caring?
And yes, a celebrity suicide does raise questions and make people talk - but anything that makes people more accepting of mental health issues and talk about it is good in my book - if it saves one single person, then all for the good. |

Do you think that those who take their own lives wake up one morning, bored, and think 'ah, stuffit, I think I'll hang myself today'? |

so people shouldn't be sad that a talented person is in such depths of despair takes their own life.
I think you are being disrespectful of making light of mental illness, on the surface he may have had everything but the famous person that takes his own life or someone whose ex military takes their own life its still sad |

if the rich have worked hard for their cash.. I have no issue whatsoever how they enjoy their riches... good on them.
as for the homeless, again.. it is down to individual cases, some may have been dealt a bad deck and I wish them better fortune. Some may have trown it all away with addiction, I wish them successful treatment for their demons..
and as for the single mum, that she bring her child/ren up with love. If she is a breeding machine, I have little opinion. If she has been left by a partner to carry the responsibility, shame on him and good luck to her..
as always, there is a story behind every case. Treat each of them as an individual, it will shed a truer light. |

I have as much empathy, sympathy, and respect for someone who lost a battle with long standing addiction or depression as i do a veteran in the streets, a single mum on benefit, a victim of a d*unk driver, or any other human being. It's impossible to accurately know the heart and mind of another. And we ALL contribute to our own demise in one way or another because no human is perfect. |

Would you not agree that some stressed out single mothers who can't feed their poor bairns have also contributed to their own problems/situation.
Either being far too generous to the would be father in the first place or far too hateful and spiteful thereafter.
Just where do you draw the line of who contibutes to what?

So we shouldn't feel sorry or sad for their passing because they took their own lives? We should treat them with contempt for doing so, should we?
And what about all the 'ordinary' people that commit suicide? Are they deserving only of our contempt?
I see only one person deserving of cuntempt on this forum.

Oh how gallant of you. Your shoulders must be very broad to take on the guilt and grief of all the forgotten in the world.
Of course people._xpress sadness at the passing of someone they invited into their homes again and again through films and TV shows. That doesn't mean to say they are blind to the plight of others. Are you saying we should start threads for all those that pass away each day?
Are you trivialising the death of Robin Williams, a talented yet troubled man whose psssing has caused mental illness to be discussed more in the last few days than anything else?
No one can grieve for everyone but we can empathise and support and learn and grow from the passing of someone we knew from a distance. Who knows, perhaps as a result of Robin Williams death more people are able to see those who need help and offer support when needed.

I'm confused as to how you've taken someone who has battled depression for years and sadly decided to take their own life and likened it to someone throwing a hissy fit about not knowing where to sail their boat? |

I guess SOME people on low wages could look at me with my nice car, modern flat, food and drink to fill my belly etc and wonder why I would have Black Dog Days, but I'll unashamedly admit that I've suffered from depression and I've stared suicide in the face but some how decided to wait another day until the darkness passes.
Rich or poor, old or young, 1 in 4 of us will suffer some kind of mental illness. I truly hope you are one of the fortunate. |

I am a drug treatment practitioner.
substance abuse and mental health problems often go hand in hand.
It doesn't differentiate from rich or poor.
All those that suffer need help.
sadly the desperation some people feel has no end and suicide is the only release.
very sad. |

As an attempt to cope with depression, which is a very real condition. It was that depression which ultimately took the life of a celebrity a few days ago. He did not overdose. He did not drink himself to the point that his body physically gave out. The method he used is well publicised. |

I'm a single mum of 3 children, have very little support and help. I work part time and I try my best. It's tough yes, sometimes rock bottom but I don't/didn't cry for myself...I cried for Robin Williams. I think that's called empathy |

what about stressed out single moms whose husbands decided they no longer liked the idea of being married or being a father and fucked off to the other side of the world without contributing anything ever to his offspring.
i dont think i contributed anything to the situation i am in but i have contributed loads ever since being left alone to bring my child up.
Not all single moms are lazy baby making machines |

i think its because people enjoyed watching his films so much they felt like they knew him and he was like the father or relative they wished they had.
been reading about him and can relate to how he felt even though he had so much to live for.

"We have the single mother who's stressed out because she can't find the money to feed her kids. We look down on her.
We have the tramps we step over in the street 70% are ex military, they take a concoction of drugs and drink to drown out the horrors they've witnessed.
Then we have the rich and famous who get stressed out deciding which island to sail there boat over to, so that they can wash down there with a bottle of blue label Jonny Walker.
And who do we cry for!!
I guess SOME people on low wages could look at me with my nice car, modern flat, food and drink to fill my belly etc and wonder why I would have Black Dog Days, but I'll unashamedly admit that I've suffered from depression and I've stared suicide in the face but some how decided to wait another day until the darkness passes.
Rich or poor, old or young, 1 in 4 of us will suffer some kind of mental illness. I truly hope you are one of the fortunate.
My friend ive been there!
Then you should know better than to post what you did.
Please read my post again.
Alot of A lister have everything around them haven't lost anything to trigger there low. When i was low i new what triggered it like many people. Not like many looking for a new high and not finding it"
you have no clue what triggers other peoples lows. you have admitted that when you were a lot wealthier than you are now you suffered mental illness (i will use your term as mine confused you earlier). How do you know hey have not lost anything. As much as celebs are in the limelight we really do only know a little about their lives.
ou cannot dictate wo has problems and who doesnt. |

if the rich have worked hard for their cash.. I have no issue whatsoever how they enjoy their riches... good on them.
as for the homeless, again.. it is down to individual cases, some may have been dealt a bad deck and I wish them better fortune. Some may have trown it all away with addiction, I wish them successful treatment for their demons..
and as for the single mum, that she bring her child/ren up with love. If she is a breeding machine, I have little opinion. If she has been left by a partner to carry the responsibility, shame on him and good luck to her..
as always, there is a story behind every case. Treat each of them as an individual, it will shed a truer light."

"I've no idea what your talking about
what I'm talking about are the famous people who have passed away and have taken their life or contributed to there own early departure.
Hope that helps, I'm not wanting to call out people names outof respect .
Would you not agree that some stressed out single mothers who can't feed their poor bairns have also contributed to their own problems/situation.
Either being far too generous to the would be father in the first place or far too hateful and spiteful thereafter.
Just where do you draw the line of who contibutes to what?
what about stressed out single moms whose husbands decided they no longer liked the idea of being married or being a father and fucked off to the other side of the world without contributing anything ever to his offspring.
i dont think i contributed anything to the situation i am in but i have contributed loads ever since being left alone to bring my child up.
Not all single moms are lazy baby making machines"
I hole hartely agree with you. Read my post in on your side |

I never understand the _iew that people who cry for the death of celebrities cannot also feel pain at the plight of the homeless and the destitute.
I can empathise and sympathise quite a lot. Its not restricted to one person at a time. |

That's clearly because you don't have as perspective as the OP!

A lot of you may have seen this but for those that haven't I think it explains depression quite well, in an easy to understand way.

Of course everyone is different and everyone copes differently. There is no one type of depression and no one treatment, and sadly for some no treatments seem to work. |

Do you think that those who take their own lives wake up one morning, bored, and think 'ah, stuffit, I think I'll hang myself today'?"
Depression is a killer
Its the one thing that when broken people cant see |

OP, you know me and have seen me very broken.
I'm surprised that your stance is not to accept that circumstances, surroundings, appearing to have everything means nothing to a mind that is unwell.
Debt affects some but not others. Addiction by it's very nature suggests less than robust mental wellbeing.
Some of us are just more resilient than others.

There is a piece on the Guardian website by Mary Hamilton "Don't kill your readers" which is worth a read. OP, I think you will see it supports your _iew and in the sense of media reporting and the context of services available here.

Having everything does not preclude you from depression or any other mental illness, in much the same way as being a millionaire doesn't make you immune to say, flu.
I don't think anyone who hasn't had depression can truly appreciate the darkness that can blight one's life especially when the sufferer is blessed with wealth or a great talent to make others laugh.
My only hope is that mental health is talked about openly and the taboos surrounding it are dispelled. |
