That's crazy.. RIP
WHAT?? DAMNIT hate to see him go. RIP
He's battled mental illness for so many years. I forget which movie it was, but I've read that he came off his meds so that he could better play the role he was cast for. Granted for a man that's battled depression for as many years as he did he's probably lucky that he pushed through as many years as he did.
That sucks rip
Rip. Was he buddies with David carradine
I don't think it was the auto-erotic kind of asphyxiationQuote:

Rip.
Shocking. Such a talent. Seems harder to accept a comedian has this darkness that laugher can't overcome. Very sad. Peace be yours!
Fess up. You still wear them attached to your belt....Quote:

Clinical depression can be a bitch!
Rest in peace mate!

That guys acting career was like an American icon.
Sad and a true loss for sure. He had a lot of talent and I think a lot more to give. R.I.P.
Class act
Some gave all
RIP
very sad indeed. depression is the biggest killer. RIP Robin and thanks for all the laughs.
I agree TR clinical depression is a biatch. It would not surprise me any if half of our members here were suffering some sort of depression at any given time. myself included. It makes no sense but depression never does. I notice mine more when coming off a cycle. but we are dealing with our hormones which affect the brain. but we look at people like Robin Williams who seems to have the world by the tail money, fame, women and still to be depressed so bad as to take his life. Man sometimes life blows. One thing i have noticed is that most comedians suffer from depression and use humor as a way to cope. Apparently in Robins case this was not enough. He will be missed...Quote:

Everything gets thrown out the window when you battle addiction. For many, it's tough to understand. Family, money, fame...non of it matters. It's just you and your demons staring face to face with one another. Nothing else. I've had very close friends die from addiction. You're living a nightmare often when your using, and also when your trying to get sober.. Depression is inevitable for everyone for the most part, at least for the first 90 days being completely sober, sometimes up to a year.. And for many, years after getting sober. But addiction and depression go hand in hand. Robin Williams was battling and unfortunately he gave up his fight. RIP.
He recently relapsed. ...and that probably pushed him over the edge.
of all people I never would have guessed that robin Williams would take his own life...he will forever be a legen with so many great movies...its weird but it almost feels like ive lost someone close...
I usually don't care when I hear about some celebrity dying, but this one actually upset me.
The guy was awesome.
Just shocked that he didn't get proper treatment. I heard there were $ problems as well as the relapse. I liked him because he is as imperfect as me. I may have to have a robin Williams movie weekend in his memory.Quote:
