I read It's Kind of a Funny Story at the point where I was the most depressed I had ever been, and I swear to G-d I thought he was in my head. Everything I felt, all my anxiety, he described it, PERFECTLY. I feel like I lost a friend and even a piece of myself.
I just learned of Ned’s death today. I knew Ned well. He threw his business card into my guitar case in NYC while I was busking in the subway. I got in touch and he said, “I liked your music.” He ended up playing bass in my band once or twice, and I visited his apartment and was amazed to see the precision with which he kept track of all of the people in his life via an excel spreadsheet. This was all before or right around the time when his first novel was published. I am very sad to learn of your death Ned! I am actually almost done writing a manuscript for a really fascinating novel and when I got it published, I was going to let you know! Well, I’m letting you know now. Thank you being an inspiration to me from the first day you threw that business card in my guitar case back when we were oh so young. Miss you!
I just found out that Ned Vizzini passed away. I'm literally heartbroken. This man helped me through my awkward teenage years and gave me some hope with managing my depression. Rest In Peace.
every time i feel down, i watch this film or read this book. ned vizzini is a wonderful man and expressed the feeling of high school pressure yet simultaneously feeling like you cannot get out of bed just perfectly. i love this book with my whole heart, and i love ned vizzini for creating such a character. may he rest in peace
when i was a teenager i got to talk with ned literally once, on AIM. he was the sweetest guy and when i mentioned wanting to write, he sent me a bit of his follow up to it's kind of a funny story. i don't remember what it was about but he didn't really care either. he told me that he loved that a teenager was actively reading and said that he hoped i wouldn''t forget about him. I will never forget about him.
I am a new Ned Vizzini reader. I've been experiencing same kinds of teenager depression and anxiety. I'm currently reading this book, and I was planning on sending an email to him to tell him how wonderful "It's Kind of a Funny Story" is. Unfortunately, I've just found about about what happened to him. So sad to hear that. R.I.P. I wish he felt better after going over all those treatments and writing this novel... :(((
I wish I could've met this man. I just learned about him and his death. I wish I could've asked him about Be More Chill, and what went through his mind.
i was heartbroken to learn of your passing yesterday and finished It's Kind of a Funny Story today, Ned. thank you for your words. i'm so sorry. may you rest in peace.
Ned, hi my name is Fiona McCormack, I'm a seventeen year old girl, from Northern Ireland. I suffer anxiety and so could relate to Craig alot. As an aspiring writer and as a human being your book Its Kind of A Funny Story is so beautiful and I love it and the story behind it. I just needed to tell you that the book was heatfelt and endearing and absolutely wonderful. And I love Teen Angst.
Like the main character of the book, I'm a freshman in high school, a college-predatory school, ironically. I can relate to this character so much, and Ned Vizzini is a great author. I discovered his tv show "believe" on NBC, which is also promising. I am so sad that he is gone! Rat In peace, Ned.
I just finished this book. It was very relatable. I had never really read a book that I was able to relate to on a mental health level. May the author Rest In Peace 🥺
Ned, my friend, I wish I could have shown you what I’m doing these days to help people suffering with depression and loneliness at my not for profit social media community at breakdiving.io I know you would have really loved it, and written me up again in the paper! Thanks for giving me that boost of confidence way back in the early 2000s!
Why isnt anyone talking about how he commits suicide when all he did was help people deal with depression or suicide?? I mean im sure he has helped a lot but isnt he contradicting himself by doing that? I dont want to disrespect him but im just so confused about this and i cant get it out of my head. I just want to say that i am not in any sort of depression so i do not understand. I want to understand
I think that is what sucks about mental illness. It comes and goes. You can feel better at times and then other times you can simply forget the progress you've made and want to end all the pain. It's a constant struggle. Those that deal with depression understand this. Hope that helps.

lizsandra peratla it help me......this is why I'm writing this book for him
@@cinthiapena3659 did the book ever publish
Rest in peace.
I like it.
He looks a lot like Craig from the movie. Total shame he passed away. It's gutting.
I know this is too late,
but I loved this book, and still do.
I felt like I was friends with Craig and the author, rather than a fan.
rip.
every time i feel down, i watch this film or read this book. ned vizzini is a wonderful man and expressed the feeling of high school pressure yet simultaneously feeling like you cannot get out of bed just perfectly.
i love this book with my whole heart, and i love ned vizzini for creating such a character. may he rest in peace
I met him at a book stand. We were going to meet up and I'd show him some of my writing . He was a very nice guy. This is very sad.
when i was a teenager i got to talk with ned literally once, on AIM. he was the sweetest guy and when i mentioned wanting to write, he sent me a bit of his follow up to it's kind of a funny story. i don't remember what it was about but he didn't really care either. he told me that he loved that a teenager was actively reading and said that he hoped i wouldn''t forget about him.

I wish I could've met this man. I just learned about him and his death. I wish I could've asked him about Be More Chill, and what went through his mind.

A great man who helped me through a lot. R.I.P.
It's tragic how he saved so many people with his writing, yet he was unable to save himself.
Ned Vizzini looks a nice guy! I really liked this enterview. Congrats!

I feel sad watching this. I haven't met him, but he was my friend throughout the book. 😭

Wish Ned could come to Portland OR!
Why did I just find out about this guy :c

what makes me more depressed is that man who helped so many people from depression and suiside, ended up commeting suiside...
♥Rest In Paradise♥
Rest in peace Ned…
Can't believe he's dead :'(
rip...tought me to be this person I am...i will continue to write.....
That poor man. We all need help sometimes. You should not be afraid to ask for help.
I didn't know he wasn't alive:((
he was so fucking cute in the early 2000s gawd
Why did he kill himself?
he was suffering from depression and anxiety
i love it's kind of a funny story. he killed himself on my birthdate. rest in peace, ned vizzini. 7:56 truly breaks my heart
Now "It's Kind of a Funny Story" has a bad ending...

Angela Miller w that logic then it's also contradicting that psychologists need to go to therapy
His focus on subject matter surrounding depression..wasn't healthy.
You often write about what you know best. I was friends with Ned. Even I didn’t know he was so severely depressed.
God.
07:56 ಠ_ಠ
I read the book and it's honestly pretty shit.
Rest in peace.
