The saddest part is that usually the best persons, the most sensitives, the more empathetic ones, are more easily haunted by depression and suicidal thoughts.
This is the best way to illustrate suicidal ideation. It's latent, laying in wait and strikes at the lowest points. Robin was so self-aware. He understood what he was going through, but didn't know how to fight it.
I thinks it's interesting that we all 1/2 get it but do not see.. and he explained on everything he did .. everything... anyway . Kisses bitches.. he would want us to keep a sense of humor no matter what
@@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.
@@ryanl8730 It's the subconscious. We personify it as the devil or satan to help people fight it as an overt easily identifiable enemy, but it's the culmination of negative animalistic instincts and deeply buried childhood traumas that pushes you toward self destruction. The more chemical imbalance you experience, the more it tends to rear its head.
I guy that disparages a deceased person is weak. You are weak. Knock it off man. A guy that argues with another person on the internet is also weak, so I gotta knock it off too. If you think wearing a dress makes you weak than you are just an ignorant fuck. Have a beautiful day.🌹
As a long time alcoholic and drug addict, I started to hear that little voices a couple years ago. The only reason I'm still alive is my kid. I have a duty, being alive as long as she needs me. I decided to go sober for the first time in 25 years. I'm not gonna surrender without a fight. I need to get rid of most of my friends. I need to tell the mother of my kid I still love her despite leaving her 6 years ago because my addictions were making her life impossible. And I will take control of my life. Thanks for reading this guys.
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.
So true. Some more broken than others. Sorry, one more thing. If you know you are super broken, don't have kids. You'll very likely pass on all kinds of suffering to them. The cycle has to stop somewhere.
Sometimes it's the family causing the person to be depressed. People keep saying go to your family, friends, etc. But what if it's them making you depressed more? Sometimes the people you rely on are actually the ones making it worst, so it hurts more.
He was unbelievably kind to animals and homeless people. It's truly tragic he couldn't find the help he needed he helped so many. He deserved to be saved more than most. Koko the gorilla actually asked to meet Robin.
@@wilmmerwest3876when Robin Williams was filming a movie, he used to invite homeless people in the area of filming to be used as extras in scenes, and get paid for it, too. Robin Williams did this for many of his films. He saved the lives of at least 1500 homeless people throughout his career.
@RebelRebel420: Yes. He definitely deserved to be saved, but - when one gets in the state of despair that he was in - it would have been a temporary saving. 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.
I am sure that it was written in Robin’s contract that local homeless people would be invited to be part of the particular project he was filming… the man didn’t have a bad bone in his body, the day he died I was on night shift, when I got home around 9am, I sat and watched Mrs. Doubtfire in tribute
seriously man... as someone who regrettably used to swallow pills like pez candy, even 5 years later there always intermittent thoughts in the back of my mind about going back. Its a bit frightening bc ive had great self control over the years, but the thoughts still lurk
@@officialaustenmorpho3224the sad thing is I'd go back if my body could handle it. Not because I'd want to, but because I'm aware of the reality of my mind. It's like that inaudible voice robotically controlling you, because you just want to feel better. And I'm so alone so sad I have to tell someone to remind myself. "Even when you feel better, remember your body will never be able to handle it again and that means ☠️ or more severe suffering". Don't fool yourself it won't end well.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
His facial expression around 1:00... Looking at her for a second, then back down... It's heartbreaking to know how much he was suffering, even though no one will ever truly understand the full extent of it. I wish that he didn't feel like he only had one way out of his misery
Plenty of people understand it firsthand, but we are silent about it because it's of no use talking about it because there is nothing no one but our self can do about it.
There WAS only one way out. How dare you think that you know better for him. HE DIDN'T WANT TO SUFFER THE DEBILITATING PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF L.B.D. That's why assisted suicide is legal in some states. You do you and shut it when it comes to anyone else's personal medical decisions, Karen.
A lot of men suffer in silence. And sadly feel like they can't talk to anyone about depression. Never be too proud to ask for help. Robin you were a beautiful man gone too soon.✌️
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?)
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 was with my good friend/ co-worker at a bar having a couple beers together, having a laugh, sharing stories and jokes... We had a wonderful time together and when the bar closed up we walked together chatting together and eventually parted ways since we both were going home after drinking. He said "ill see monday at work!" I said "sounds good buddy!" See you then!" He never showed up.... He committed suicide not long after we split up after the bar... Id give anything to be with him again.... He was such a great example of a caring, loving and supportive human being... I wish i knew what he was going through on the inside all the time and wonder if there was some way i could have helped him before it was too late... Rest in peace Jerry... Love you bro.
Even when in the darkest place he still finds a way to make the ones around him, smile and laugh, he was always a light in the darkness, and always will be. RIP
Yes that is why we need each other. It’s when we are alone that we begin to lose that purpose of staying in the light. If we stay in the light we will never be in 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.
Sorry you are battling, and I hope you can continue to get the help you need. I can't believe how people back in the day (and even now) can tell someone who is suffering to 'Just snap out of it' or other pithy, useless and hurtful remarks.
Think of the voice as someone else, its just a voice, if a voice came from a stranger telling you to steal a car, you wouldn't do it would you? 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.
The devil roams looking to put evil thoughts and actions into those that don’t know the Lord Jesus Christ they have No protection against these satanic thoughts the devil tempts people with. You must read your Bible your sword and shield
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. But I am someone who has been to the dark, punched through it and come out the other side. So if you don't have anyone to talk to, you can always talk to me... There is ABSOLUTELY no shame in admitting you are struggling... You are not alone. ♥️
@@flataffect Sorry to hear that mate. Always an ear here 👍 Here's what I have been up to: Just been reminded that if it wasn't for my music I wouldn't be here!! It always has been the source of both my strength and my sanctuary. I was reminded in the week that I have been writing music and trying to make it since 1991!!! 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!" So keep smiling brother and follow the light!!! Tomorrow could be FANTASTIC!!! Nigel 🌞🇬🇧👍
@@nigelcarren haha that’s a great story. Since 1991 is definitely a long time! Been only a bit over 10 years of music stuff for me. You should record the song and put it up on your channel. Screw your ex then. Even on the worst days, you can always pick up your instrument and jam. Music has saved me many times as well, it’s basically why I do covers as my hobby hence the channel. Sorry to hear your early 2023 was so rough and with all those compounded issues from over the years too. Glad you’re hanging in there!
We miss him every day!!! The older I get the more I miss him. I grew up with watching his movies and especially Aladdin 😢 As much as I love watching his movies it’s still really sad when you sit and think about the fact that he is no longer with us. God bless you Mr. Williams 🙏
I had one of my worst experiences tonight, an 84 year old man suffering from huge depression about not having anybody around, his contemporaries around, brothers, sisters mom and dad. Stuff like that can break a person, and i completely understand that feeling of hopelessness.
That’s why I picked up a project that I’m interested in and will take me years to complete. So when my depression hits, I can go back to the hobby that gives me a purpose to live. And get some yogurt by myself. It’s therapeutic.
@calebshepherd1846 I take emergency calls, sometimes is harder than others. When I hear of stillborn or stuff like that it does hit me. Other things like stabbings or people being shot don't affect me as much it's typical stuff. I can shut my brain off for some but others nope.
@@sleazyfellow Yeah that makes sense. The typical stuff can become numbing since over time it's easy to see it's mostly due to human stupidity and ego. Though, when you see someone so innocent in a tragic situation it's always heartbreaking.
I wish I could sit with him, I too am in need of company, and I am young. Lonliness I always thought I did not have, but I do, Just denied it. and lack of stimulus, isolation etc. it is so bad for our brains and bodies and all. We need to actually make connections with people the internet is great and all but real life is better for us. we do not get the correct results from computers. lol definitely not, if anything, much worse.
I remember i was 14 when a friend at school told me he had passed away a day prior. I couldn't believe it cause i pretty much grew up watching his movies and he was one of the actors i really enjoyed watching perform their craft. Then a few years later that same friend, once again at school told me Chester Bennington had died a day prior. Same reaction cause he was one of my favorite artists ever. R.I.P to both Robin and Chester
I honestly don’t think Chester or Chris Cornell killed themselves. There’s evidence they both were doing things to expose pedos. And their “suicides” were extremely suspect. Cornell had something like 4 broken ribs.
Voice telling me to jump? Sounds quite suicidal to me. Addiction, depression and suicide are all so closely connected. Depression can and does cause Addiction, likewise, Addiction can and does cause depression. Both can lead to suicide. What needs to be looked at is was it depression causing Addiction or the other way around.
This isn’t about him ,he’s telling us something and people who needs help the best advice there is, and he wants you to spread the word and open your eyes to the truth that he’s told💯
I remember him and his girlfriend walking in the Golden Gate park, late 60s or 70s. He saw that I recognized him and they immediately turned around and ran. Devastating that he ended his life, but I do understand there is a point where depression, if not dealt with, can take a person out. I’ve had a few episodes of depression, that has given me understanding, never to judge another who offs themselves? The pain and disconnection from life is indescribable. His acting and humor contributed much to humanity, I hope his family dwells in grace and understanding.
@@Spacenworld I think he ran, he and his girlfriend, because they saw me recognizing him, and didn’t what to bother with another fan. It’s OK, I understand, reason some celebrities run around in disguise. It could get to be too much if a famous person doesn’t protect themselves, especially, if their personality doesn’t enjoy the attention. Artist sometimes are overwhelmed with too much stimulation, I think, from my own artistic temperament.
Most beloved man in the world. I hope he understood the impact and love he spread by simply smiling or from hearing his voice. The world won’t be the same with out you genie, But now you are free from your lamp prison
My mother did some research on his case for a medical class. He apparently had a form of dementia which effectively will drive you insane. During his last weeks he wasn’t sleeping. That’s one of the side effects is it destroys you circadian rhythm. Eventually you pretty much cease to be you anymore. I don’t like suicide and I don’t think it should be an option but knowing what he would have went through if the disease progressed it’s good to know he is no longer suffering.
@@mamamua4644 he had Lewy Body Dementia which I think is the most cruel disease you can have. Look it up. He must have suffered more than 99,99% of people can imagine. His death should have triggered a very different discussion, which in my opinion should’ve been: you get Lewy Body Dementia, here’s a pleasant way to be euthanized. He did not deserve to be hanging himself in the closet. His wife said: he did not commit suicide, his illness killed him.
Yes, I was going to comment about Lewy Body Dementia. He knew what was in store for him. He couldn't bear that diagnosis on top of his existing problems. Beyond sad. 😢
I sometimes fantasize about humanity being a part of a multiverse. And life as we know it is simply one parallel universe out of an infinite amount of universes. And in our universe, all of us have been lucky enough to get to experience Robin Williams' spirit and brilliance. It makes me so grateful to have been a part of it. Robin Williams is not a once in a lifetime kind of character, but a once in a universe kind of spirit, that's impossible to replicate. We should all be grateful he ever spawned this earth and entertained our souls for the sake of laughter. We're not worthy. May his spirit have finally found peace. Rest In Peace, Robin Williams.
2 года назад+2
It's highly probable that's not a fantasy of yours and we're really just one universe in an infinite number of universes
Ahhh.... yes! I always knew that Robin Williams had something to do with an infinite amount of universes... parallel ones!!! 'cause the perpendicular ones... well... they're a problem... parallel universes... right!!!!
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.
@@Beau136 Thanks. No, your message helps. I get more support from the internet than I do in real life which is part of the problem. Sorry to hear you have same type of thing. It is hard. It's often like, "why keep doing this when it never gets better" but we do. I guess that the right thing.
@wordswordswords8203 I guess I keep going because I'm hopeful things will get better and become more clear. I'm also not at the point where I'm trying to justify why other people would be better off without me, which is good.
I’ve noticed that the ones who are there for everyone, no one is there for them. And they’re the ones who always go through the big fight daily til they just cant and don’t want to fight anymore. We love you robin and everyone who felt they didn’t belong here anymore. We love and miss you all still.
Oh how I miss Robin Williams. One of the best actors during my childhood. I recall him from Aladdin (Genie), Mrs. Doubtfire (Grandma inpersonification), Peter Pan (1991), etc. Rest in peace, brother 🙏🕯🕊
Ive lost several friends to suicide. Robin is right to say its like a switch, and the little voice taunts you. It takes great strength to overcome the thoughts and actions of suicide. The little voice just keeps on talking. Ya just have to know the voice is wrong.😢
If you going though depression, chronic illness, addiction, anxiety and mental illness stay strong and talk to someone when you really feel like you can't go on with it. Please do not give up and I wish all the best for the future and a lot more happy days.
That would require there to be someone who had genuine compassion and a desire to help. That’s why so many people can’t overcome it. Love and compassion, desperately needed. Both are healing! *Not going to find that* in a rehabilitation clinic or a psychiatric hospital.
He's on the edge of breaking out and going in to comedy mode when, for a split second, he locks eyes with the camera and sees an opportunity to relieve you of the burden of his mind. He was always trying to save other people from the sadness. He remains stitched in to my childhood as a far away fixture, of a person I never met but felt a connection to. Ah, I miss him.
@@BLACK-AUTUMN-MAGICK I was actually too sleepy to be saying that. I meant that you can look up those along with dopamine and see if you can find the answer. He was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia after his death, and I recalled that the substantia nigra is where the dopamine depletion takes place. Now I find "Nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration is a pathological hallmark of dementia with Lewy bodies." How it works, I don't yet know, but you may find more, or I may later.
I am in this place right now (32 years old male) and objectively I would say I have a successful life although I started with terrible cards in my hand and I am grateful for life about that. However, I am right now typing this message crying because I just feel so lonely and helpless, I just don’t know why I am living at this point and I am so young….
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. But as Robin suggested l, humility is key; we cannot save ourselves. RIP Robin.
Mr. Robin Williams is still missed to this day. Watching his art of work, I always wonder how his co-stars managed to get through any scene without laughing until they could not breathe. Through all his troubles personally, he still made us all laugh. Rest in Peace forever Mr. Williams. Your legacy will on forever through your movies, stand up and of course my favorite Mork & Mindy.
The more help you need the harder it is to pick yourself up. Rage if you must, never give an inch of ground, even out of spite if need be. On the good day you’ll feel joy and gratitude you hung on.
I was shocked when he died and how it happened. I cannot imagine Robin thought about killing himself every day during his war with depression for years. Rest in peace Robin, we love you
No matter how much help you can get there's always that sadness and dread that's there in you and it stays like a stain that's hard to get rid of until you just can't take it anymore. I don't agree that ending yourself is the answer but when you're in that dark place and there's no light, ending it seems like the best way.
This happened to me like 3 weeks ago. Days before my birthday. It was my 8th attempt. I gotta feeling I will not last on the 10th so if you read this and you know me. Know that Robin's issue is the same one as I have, thought I am allright but then those voices just comes back.
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.
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
@@user-so4sv1dq4z 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
I'm suffering a lot everyday literally every second im talking 24/7 going through excruciating demonic attacks I can't even get up to use the bathroom. This has been going on for many years and I'm sick and tired of it. I was made to suffer and then die. Why did I come here?
Trigger: I used to have severe anxiety panic attacks. Violent Intrusive thoughts about negative things happening to me. I told myself to face my fears. And it didn't happen. It disappated. The thought kept occurring until it gave up. It couldn't fool me anymore. Dont listen to those thoughts!
You know what the most frustrating thing is about this?. It's that he talks about that the best thing you can do is reach out, get help, talk to people. And even tho he did all things he said that would help, he still ended up ending it.... It's so frustrating because it means, even if you do everything possible to try get help, there is still a large chance that it won't do anything.
A pillar of my childhood. I can't name a lot of celebrity deaths that really stick with me but Robin is one of them. I'm just grateful for the good memories I have watching him in various movies growing up.
People don't understand that in many cases it is just like this. Sometimes there are weeks I go with like this high of life dealing with hard situations and nothing bothers me. But than I'm sitting alone and the thought he is talking about creep in. And for me the best solution is just to look at them as they are just there but not me.
There's an article written by his wife indicating that he had Lewy Body Dementia and his brain health was rapidly declining prior to his death. This is the precipitating factor that caused him to die by suicide.
My best friend is the funniest and most happy and outgoing person I've ever known. Literally _nobody_ is funnier than him. He's a legend, in my eyes. One day he called me in tears saying he wanted to end his own life and he wasn't joking. Apparently, he suffered from depression his whole life. This was decades ago and he's good now, and even has a child on the way, but that phone call forever changed my life. Depression doesn't necessarily have any tells. Sometimes the "happiest" people are actually the most depressed.
Hard to believe its been 10 years without this wonderful, warm, witty man in the world. Hate to say it but he got out at just the right time, right before the world started sliding downhill.
Not exactly about Suicide no, BUT it leads to thoughts of suicide, thoughts of depression that cause us to think, we are better off dead cuz we are so stupid, and so useless and make so many mistakes we shouldn't make cuz we know better. I wish Robin had been able to handle his diagnosis better, wish that something could have been done. The world lost such a bright light when he left us. RIP Robin.
@@greatestgoalie25 He says at the start, “it’s the same voice, the one that tells you “Jump!” and the one that tells you [to give in and use a drug you’re trying to resist]…” What else could “a voice telling you to jump” mean but a suicidal urge?
By ‘jump’ he’s referencing picking up his drug of choice…just once. That is what the voices say…one time will okay especially when you are doing okay. That is the nature of addiction and Robin is clear that he understand that it is the ‘addiction’ talking and trying to seduce him to use.
I had suicidal thoughts and depression for years through highschool and early parts of college years.. at my lowest point i asked Jesus Christ to save me. He did
Sometimes I don't understand how people can be alive without suicidal ideation cause I've been dealing with it for so long. I don't know what it's like to not have that voice.
I remember getting plastered with my good friends the night he died, as if that was to celebrate his life. 10ish years of addiction, depression and several attempts of jumping later...I see how reckless and wasteful that time spent was. But it got me to where I am today. That internal voice will surely be back; it never leaves you for good. Just one day it up and walks away and never comes back -- Naw, doesn't work that way. No, no...it'll be back. But I'll be prepared. I'll throw on Jack or Bicentennial Man or Mrs. Doubtfire or Good Morning Vietnam or any number of my favorite movies that just so happen to star this magical man...and I'll feel not so alone in my misery. Me and Bobby McGee will weather the storm together. Rest in Paradise my good friend
The idea to end it doesn't just appear out of nowhere. It's most often trauma in childhood left unresolved. People carry that pain, spend their lives trying to manage it, cope with it - they don't know how to set it down. Forgive those that injured you, if only in your mind, ONLY to FREE SELF. Then you can release it to begin to heal. Self love, self care, know your worth. It IS your strength and your worth found in no other. You cultivate your own. No one can do it for you - it doesn't work that way. Nobody has to keep suffering, you CAN choose to release it. In fact, you are the only one that can. Either you make up your mind to, or you keep carrying the weight of it. It gets heavier with time, and then swallows you whole. The trauma later rises in the form of some health crisis for your further spiral. Most often in anxiety for which you cannot explain. People choose to take themselves out when they can no longer manage their pain/trauma. Choose the other way. Choose to give a damn for self, to nurture and let the pain go. To choose suicide just inflicts pain on others - then they struggle. Healing is only as hard as you make it. No one can heal if in sorrow, anger, resentment, hatred. Just forgive to have the worst part of it fall away. Then you can find your way back to living life again. Wishing all that struggle to see their way beyond it and many blessings as they make their way. 💖🙏💫🌱🌎
It is only recently (May 2023) that I've been able to watch a Robin Williams movie (Jumangi). He was such a wonderfully funny and funny, wonderful person. His rolls (especially "Awakenings") were so full of human warmth and human kindness. Watching this interview has helped me to deal with this difficult loss.
My close friend who jumped under a train at 23 said he heard a voice talking to him often. I think he said it was a low voice telling him to kill himself and other things alike maybe. I never knew it was real until he died. I feel shit for suspecting him for not being serious. He didn't show many signs just sometimes I could feel suttle moments of real darkness coming from him I even got angry to him because it hit me so hard when I felt something was wrong. It felt like he was trying to test me about being serious.
He was sucked in by depression like a black hole does. It acts like nasty darkness that annihilates/crushes one's mind so suicide looks like a way out of this tremendous suffering.
Me too brother. Just nearly lost my relationship partially because of it. Stay strong bro. I watch robin all the time. He is great. Good will hunting is a movie that helps me
I couldn’t have said it any better. I lost my father to suicide and I struggle with suicidal thoughts myself. It’s you vs the man in the mirror and there’s no greater battle. My dad lost his fight and I pray I don’t
I feel bad for Robin. He’s been making us laugh so much that on the inside this is what he’s been dealing with all through his life. Such a gentle soul shall never be taken or beaten. It really hurts me how a big part of your childhood has suffered from this all these years. He died when I was 12 and I had not noticed it until now. Robin, know that you are in a better place and that the world lost its sunshine when you were gone. We all love and miss you. 😢❤👍
I miss Robin Williams so much, I struggled with suicidal ideation for years, sometimes it just rears it’s ugly head and I have to remind myself to breathe & of all my blessings & the damage it would cause my family members. My ex BFF committed suicide in December 2020 & the pain that caused me was huge, I have cried for her. My friend at work, passed away in January 2014, I was horrified when her son, who Deb & I talked all the time for years bc her son and my son were the same age and both musicians. Her son struggled with depression so bad, over Deb’s unexpected & fast death, he got married in April 2014, but it didn’t relieve his depression, he hung himself 3 days after Robin, just heartbreaking and I took it to heart, because it caused so much pain to everyone.
Best “treatment” available has always been there, just waiting to be embraced. Robin was right, we can’t do it in our own. That is the first, most crucial and humble admission and the first step. The second step is recognizing it’s the Lord Jesus who alone is able to break through ANY struggle we may be facing. 🙏
You’re only talking about suicide, but the addiction is what led to the suicide that’s what he needed help with not suicidal thoughts just for the record
Life is beautiful if you have best friend who know you better than your parents . Also if u share every negative and positive thought to your friends or your family member,
"I think tur saddle people try their hardest to make other people around them happy. Because they know what it's like to feel worthless, and they don't want anyone else to feel like that." -Robin Williams
Embrace the addiction and the choices that led to it. All the reasons that make you sad. You can never beat it, it’s a part of you. Those experienced shaped who you are. Accept the truths, deny the lies. Don’t hide. Get help whenever you need it. At some point you will move past it all, it will fade away and when it comes back again you will know what to do. When you have ever reason to get over your weaknesses you can accomplish great things. When that one moment comes and you get to decide to throw in the towel, remember you all that got you there. I will never fall into the pits of despair again willingly, I’ll strive to overcome for my daughter and for myself. When the time comes and my life means logically bad for everyone around me? Then maybe I’ll check out, but until then I owe it to myself and my family to at least try and maybe even conquer and overcome. To anyone who thinks differently I respect your choice, it’s your life. Do with it as you desire and as you must.
For the people asking why he commits suicide. He just want to end the pain it's hard to deal with depression specially when you were alone. Ears and mind are literally bad neighbors.
He had dementia, there was no getting better with that. He was literally on the verge of losing his mind, he didn't just kill himself because of depression.
The saddest part is that usually the best persons, the most sensitives, the more empathetic ones, are more easily haunted by depression and suicidal thoughts.
100%❤️
Too true and a truth never paid attention to.
so true...i feel that way...sensitive and empathetic...so depression and suicidal thoughts lurk....
i wonder why ? todays modern world and no tools :)
They are that way because life hasn't being easy on them, so they try to make it easier on others
This is the best way to illustrate suicidal ideation. It's latent, laying in wait and strikes at the lowest points. Robin was so self-aware. He understood what he was going through, but didn't know how to fight it.
The worst part of it is when you understain it, and yet there is no desire to figth it, as if it Just were a warm blanket just ... inviting
@@Cinestudi0 I've been there it never truly goes away at all it is still there
I thinks it's interesting that we all 1/2 get it but do not see.. and he explained on everything he did .. everything... anyway . Kisses bitches.. he would want us to keep a sense of humor no matter what
Exactly my situation
He was a victim of the old serpent's deceiving voice.
Jesus Christ experienced the same thing, the old serpent said to HIM "jump". Matthew 4.6
"it's latent, it waits" So perfectly said
Sounds like satan to me
@@ryanl8730We live in a demon haunted world. They live inside us and use us as hosts. However, people will believe this to be a fairytale.
@@ryanl8730 'cause it is Satan.
@@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.
@@ryanl8730 It's the subconscious. We personify it as the devil or satan to help people fight it as an overt easily identifiable enemy, but it's the culmination of negative animalistic instincts and deeply buried childhood traumas that pushes you toward self destruction. The more chemical imbalance you experience, the more it tends to rear its head.
I can’t believe it’s been almost ten years since we lost this legend. I still miss him terribly. He was one of a kind.
Agree.
wouldnt call him a legend. very talented sure. a bit underrated. but wouldnt call him a legend.
He is a legend. If you were an eccentric nerd or theatre/Drama type, this man was like a father to you... RIP Mrs. Doubtfire🌹
@@markbeard9356 a guy that has to wear dresses to be in movies, is not a legend. knock it off. thats weak.

As a long time alcoholic and drug addict, I started to hear that little voices a couple years ago. The only reason I'm still alive is my kid. I have a duty, being alive as long as she needs me. I decided to go sober for the first time in 25 years. I'm not gonna surrender without a fight.
I need to get rid of most of my friends. I need to tell the mother of my kid I still love her despite leaving her 6 years ago because my addictions were making her life impossible. And I will take control of my life. Thanks for reading this guys.
This was my exact experience. Thank you for sharing.
Stay strong! You’re daughter needs you 🥰
Good luck my friend
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'm rooting for you brother. 💪
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.

Sometimes it's the family causing the person to be depressed. People keep saying go to your family, friends, etc. But what if it's them making you depressed more? Sometimes the people you rely on are actually the ones making it worst, so it hurts more.
I agree, in many cases the family tend to see the depressed as a guilty or a stupid person
It's best to go to God and he will help you out don't expect anyone else can.
I feel seen. Thank you. 😢
Feeling depressed and clinical depression are not in any way similar. Feeling down is normal human emotion, Clinical depression needs no catalyst
@@lockman3707 Guilty and stupid people also get depressed.
He was unbelievably kind to animals and homeless people. It's truly tragic he couldn't find the help he needed he helped so many. He deserved to be saved more than most. Koko the gorilla actually asked to meet Robin.
Homeless people really??
@@wilmmerwest3876when Robin Williams was filming a movie, he used to invite homeless people in the area of filming to be used as extras in scenes, and get paid for it, too. Robin Williams did this for many of his films. He saved the lives of at least 1500 homeless people throughout his career.
@RebelRebel420: Yes. He definitely deserved to be saved, but - when one gets in the state of despair that he was in - it would have been a temporary saving. 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.

I am sure that it was written in Robin’s contract that local homeless people would be invited to be part of the particular project he was filming… the man didn’t have a bad bone in his body, the day he died I was on night shift, when I got home around 9am, I sat and watched Mrs. Doubtfire in tribute
He was a wonderful kind man
he is
At the end of the day, nobody cares for you. Its all on you if you want to succeed in this life.

“It’s not caused by anything, it’s just there” it’s just latent. It waits.. PERFECTLY describes addiction… as an addict.. sober now.. “ I feel fine”
seriously man... as someone who regrettably used to swallow pills like pez candy, even 5 years later there always intermittent thoughts in the back of my mind about going back. Its a bit frightening bc ive had great self control over the years, but the thoughts still lurk
@@officialaustenmorpho3224the sad thing is I'd go back if my body could handle it. Not because I'd want to, but because I'm aware of the reality of my mind. It's like that inaudible voice robotically controlling you, because you just want to feel better. And I'm so alone so sad I have to tell someone to remind myself. "Even when you feel better, remember your body will never be able to handle it again and that means ☠️ or more severe suffering". Don't fool yourself it won't end well.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is dr.porassss
His facial expression around 1:00... Looking at her for a second, then back down... It's heartbreaking to know how much he was suffering, even though no one will ever truly understand the full extent of it. I wish that he didn't feel like he only had one way out of his misery
Plenty of people understand it firsthand, but we are silent about it because it's of no use talking about it because there is nothing no one but our self can do about it.
@@bojnebojnebojne woah hey, only 6 hours ago
He had dementia and he knew there was no way out from that and it would only get worse
There WAS only one way out. How dare you think that you know better for him. HE DIDN'T WANT TO SUFFER THE DEBILITATING PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF L.B.D.
That's why assisted suicide is legal in some states.
You do you and shut it when it comes to anyone else's personal medical decisions, Karen.
Sometimes, there is only one way. People just don’t wanna hear it.
A lot of men suffer in silence. And sadly feel like they can't talk to anyone about depression. Never be too proud to ask for help. Robin you were a beautiful man gone too soon.✌️
It’s not pride stopping us, it’s ridicule from so called friends and family telling you to get over it
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?)
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 was with my good friend/ co-worker at a bar having a couple beers together, having a laugh, sharing stories and jokes... We had a wonderful time together and when the bar closed up we walked together chatting together and eventually parted ways since we both were going home after drinking. He said "ill see monday at work!"
I said "sounds good buddy!" See you then!"
He never showed up....
He committed suicide not long after we split up after the bar... Id give anything to be with him again.... He was such a great example of a caring, loving and supportive human being... I wish i knew what he was going through on the inside all the time and wonder if there was some way i could have helped him before it was too late...
Rest in peace Jerry... Love you bro.
Sorry for the loss buddy. I had a friend do the same thing with an o.d. were there warning signs?
so sorry for loss. May your dear friend rest in peace 🙏 be well
RIP Robin Williams. He helped make my childhood enjoyable. He is sorely missed.
He will be always the REAL Peter Pan
Never will there be another like him.
Even when in the darkest place he still finds a way to make the ones around him, smile and laugh, he was always a light in the darkness, and always will be. RIP
Yes that is why we need each other. It’s when we are alone that we begin to lose that purpose of staying in the light. If we stay in the light we will never be in 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.
God bless and hope you find help & support & love
Sorry you are battling, and I hope you can continue to get the help you need. I can't believe how people back in the day (and even now) can tell someone who is suffering to 'Just snap out of it' or other pithy, useless and hurtful remarks.
All I hear in my head is "kill yourself, you should just kill yourself" over and over and over
Think of the voice as someone else, its just a voice, if a voice came from a stranger telling you to steal a car, you wouldn't do it would you? 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.
The devil roams looking to put evil thoughts and actions into those that don’t know the Lord Jesus Christ they have No protection against these satanic thoughts the devil tempts people with. You must read your Bible your sword and shield
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. But I am someone who has been to the dark, punched through it and come out the other side. So if you don't have anyone to talk to, you can always talk to me... There is ABSOLUTELY no shame in admitting you are struggling... You are not alone. ♥️
It’s actually been a rough week for me and I’m similar to you as someone whos been through it before. Self doubt sucks
@@flataffect Sorry to hear that mate. Always an ear here 👍 Here's what I have been up to:
Just been reminded that if it wasn't for my music I wouldn't be here!! It always has been the source of both my strength and my sanctuary. I was reminded in the week that I have been writing music and trying to make it since 1991!!! 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!"
So keep smiling brother and follow the light!!! Tomorrow could be FANTASTIC!!!
Nigel 🌞🇬🇧👍
@@flataffectdaily 🧘♂️🙏☯️
@@nigelcarren haha that’s a great story. Since 1991 is definitely a long time! Been only a bit over 10 years of music stuff for me. You should record the song and put it up on your channel. Screw your ex then. Even on the worst days, you can always pick up your instrument and jam. Music has saved me many times as well, it’s basically why I do covers as my hobby hence the channel. Sorry to hear your early 2023 was so rough and with all those compounded issues from over the years too. Glad you’re hanging in there!
I really admire this man. He was honest and humble and about as funny as you get. I miss the guy.
If u had the power to revive one dead celebrity it would be robin Williams he’s was my idol man I miss him so much 😢😢😢
One thing I've learned in life is, that no one knows what it takes to push someone over the edge ...
We miss him every day!!! The older I get the more I miss him. I grew up with watching his movies and especially Aladdin 😢 As much as I love watching his movies it’s still really sad when you sit and think about the fact that he is no longer with us. God bless you Mr. Williams 🙏
Happens to the good people that get taken advantage of and been through a lot of trauma.
I had one of my worst experiences tonight, an 84 year old man suffering from huge depression about not having anybody around, his contemporaries around, brothers, sisters mom and dad. Stuff like that can break a person, and i completely understand that feeling of hopelessness.
Do you work with the elderly?
That’s why I picked up a project that I’m interested in and will take me years to complete. So when my depression hits, I can go back to the hobby that gives me a purpose to live. And get some yogurt by myself. It’s therapeutic.
@calebshepherd1846 I take emergency calls, sometimes is harder than others. When I hear of stillborn or stuff like that it does hit me. Other things like stabbings or people being shot don't affect me as much it's typical stuff. I can shut my brain off for some but others nope.
@@sleazyfellow Yeah that makes sense. The typical stuff can become numbing since over time it's easy to see it's mostly due to human stupidity and ego. Though, when you see someone so innocent in a tragic situation it's always heartbreaking.
I wish I could sit with him, I too am in need of company, and I am young. Lonliness I always thought I did not have, but I do, Just denied it. and lack of stimulus, isolation etc. it is so bad for our brains and bodies and all. We need to actually make connections with people the internet is great and all but real life is better for us. we do not get the correct results from computers. lol definitely not, if anything, much worse.
I remember i was 14 when a friend at school told me he had passed away a day prior. I couldn't believe it cause i pretty much grew up watching his movies and he was one of the actors i really enjoyed watching perform their craft. Then a few years later that same friend, once again at school told me Chester Bennington had died a day prior. Same reaction cause he was one of my favorite artists ever.
R.I.P to both Robin and Chester
I was just about to turn 14 before 8th grade began. I always remember where I was when I found out he died
I honestly don’t think Chester or Chris Cornell killed themselves. There’s evidence they both were doing things to expose pedos. And their “suicides” were extremely suspect. Cornell had something like 4 broken ribs.
As one commenter noted: this is not about suicide, this is about addiction.
Yeah the title to this clip should be changed robins is talking about his addictions he faced everyday not about suicidal thoughts
That's what I just said .....the title of the story is misleading... he never talked about his upcoming suicide
Voice telling me to jump? Sounds quite suicidal to me. Addiction, depression and suicide are all so closely connected. Depression can and does cause Addiction, likewise, Addiction can and does cause depression. Both can lead to suicide. What needs to be looked at is was it depression causing Addiction or the other way around.
He said “jump” so it kinda is about suicide
It’s about the vicious cycle of substance abuse, depression and suicide.
He explained it so eloquently... I miss him. Broke my heart when he died but I know he's in a better plane of existence.
Wherever this beautiful man is now, I just hope he's as appreciated there as he was down here.
There's not a day goes by where the world doesn't feel the same anyone without him
This isn’t about him ,he’s telling us something and people who needs help the best advice there is, and he wants you to spread the word and open your eyes to the truth that he’s told💯
Robin's gentle, vulnerable, honest eyes are what we all loved. O Captain! My Captain!
I remember him and his girlfriend walking in the Golden Gate park, late 60s or 70s. He saw that I recognized him and they immediately turned around and ran. Devastating that he ended his life, but I do understand there is a point where depression, if not dealt with, can take a person out. I’ve had a few episodes of depression, that has given me understanding, never to judge another who offs themselves? The pain and disconnection from life is indescribable. His acting and humor contributed much to humanity, I hope his family dwells in grace and understanding.
Why would they run away, you think? Because they wouldn't be bothered? I hope you're doing well, btw!
@@Spacenworld I think he ran, he and his girlfriend, because they saw me recognizing him, and didn’t what to bother with another fan. It’s OK, I understand, reason some celebrities run around in disguise. It could get to be too much if a famous person doesn’t protect themselves, especially, if their personality doesn’t enjoy the attention. Artist sometimes are overwhelmed with too much stimulation, I think, from my own artistic temperament.
@@rkeller8141 Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for sharing, kind stranger!
Most beloved man in the world. I hope he understood the impact and love he spread by simply smiling or from hearing his voice. The world won’t be the same with out you genie, But now you are free from your lamp prison
My mother did some research on his case for a medical class. He apparently had a form of dementia which effectively will drive you insane. During his last weeks he wasn’t sleeping. That’s one of the side effects is it destroys you circadian rhythm. Eventually you pretty much cease to be you anymore. I don’t like suicide and I don’t think it should be an option but knowing what he would have went through if the disease progressed it’s good to know he is no longer suffering.
Thank you for sharing. Did he know he was sick with that or was that discovered post-mortum?
@@mamamua4644 he knew. His wife has spoken about it. He was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia, which is a hellish way to go.
@@mamamua4644 he had Lewy Body Dementia which I think is the most cruel disease you can have. Look it up. He must have suffered more than 99,99% of people can imagine.
His death should have triggered a very different discussion, which in my opinion should’ve been: you get Lewy Body Dementia, here’s a pleasant way to be euthanized.
He did not deserve to be hanging himself in the closet. His wife said: he did not commit suicide, his illness killed him.
Yes, I was going to comment about Lewy Body Dementia. He knew what was in store for him. He couldn't bear that diagnosis on top of his existing problems. Beyond sad. 😢
your mother is full of crap literally.
I sometimes fantasize about humanity being a part of a multiverse. And
life as we know it is simply one parallel universe out of an infinite
amount of universes.
And in our universe, all of us have been lucky enough to get to experience Robin Williams' spirit and brilliance.
It makes me so grateful to have been a part of it.
Robin
Williams is not a once in a lifetime kind of character, but a once in a
universe kind of spirit, that's impossible to replicate.
We should all be grateful he ever spawned this earth and entertained our souls for the sake of laughter.
We're not worthy.
May his spirit have finally found peace.
Rest In Peace,
Robin Williams.
It's highly probable that's not a fantasy of yours and we're really just one universe in an infinite number of universes
I don't have any reason to believe any of the infinite numbers of possible universes gives a damn about any one human being, much less Robin Williams.
Its not real
Ahhh.... yes! I always knew that Robin Williams had something to do with an infinite amount of universes... parallel ones!!! 'cause the perpendicular ones... well... they're a problem... parallel universes... right!!!!
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.
I know I'm just a message on the internet, but I'm so sorry that you deal with thoughts like that. I do too, and it's hard.
@@Beau136 Thanks. No, your message helps. I get more support from the internet than I do in real life which is part of the problem. Sorry to hear you have same type of thing. It is hard. It's often like, "why keep doing this when it never gets better" but we do. I guess that the right thing.
@wordswordswords8203 I guess I keep going because I'm hopeful things will get better and become more clear. I'm also not at the point where I'm trying to justify why other people would be better off without me, which is good.
Daily meditation and prayer helps ☯️ Also be more aware of your surroundings and energy
You're still here and there are people that need and love you. Hope you get better soon!!!
R.I.P. Robin Williams (1951-2014)
Already almost 10 years. Oh man😢😢
I miss you Robin so much. RIP 💖💖
RIP Robin! You are missed here on Earth 😥
I’ve noticed that the ones who are there for everyone, no one is there for them. And they’re the ones who always go through the big fight daily til they just cant and don’t want to fight anymore. We love you robin and everyone who felt they didn’t belong here anymore. We love and miss you all still.
Oh how I miss Robin Williams. One of the best actors during my childhood. I recall him from Aladdin (Genie), Mrs. Doubtfire (Grandma inpersonification), Peter Pan (1991), etc. Rest in peace, brother 🙏🕯🕊
He’s right. It’s just there. It lays and waits. I totally understand. I miss you Robin.
Never heard someone describe addiction so well man
I miss him. I still feel like he’s here. He’s lived on in his movies and interviews
This really shows how we are more alike than we realize 😢. The world misses your light Robin❤
Ive lost several friends to suicide. Robin is right to say its like a switch, and the little voice taunts you. It takes great strength to overcome the thoughts and actions of suicide. The little voice just keeps on talking. Ya just have to know the voice is wrong.😢
The Legend.... 😭😭😭😭😭😭 It still makes me sad
Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest....
Finally a nice comment!!
If you going though depression, chronic illness, addiction, anxiety and mental illness stay strong and talk to someone when you really feel like you can't go on with it.
Please do not give up and I wish all the best for the future and a lot more happy days.
That would require there to be someone who had genuine compassion and a desire to help.
That’s why so many people can’t overcome it.
Love and compassion, desperately needed. Both are healing!
*Not going to find that* in a rehabilitation clinic or a psychiatric hospital.
Lol at including chronic illness in that you still age when you have it
🌱☮️
He's on the edge of breaking out and going in to comedy mode when, for a split second, he locks eyes with the camera and sees an opportunity to relieve you of the burden of his mind. He was always trying to save other people from the sadness. He remains stitched in to my childhood as a far away fixture, of a person I never met but felt a connection to. Ah, I miss him.
I miss you Robin.. 😭
His dopamine levels could never be replenished. He gave us his all.
Ya think that's what it was??
@@BLACK-AUTUMN-MAGICKSubstantia nigra, Lewy bodies.
@@globalheartwarming You're saying that Lewy bodies affected the substantia nigra region of his brain?
@@BLACK-AUTUMN-MAGICK I was actually too sleepy to be saying that. I meant that you can look up those along with dopamine and see if you can find the answer. He was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia after his death, and I recalled that the substantia nigra is where the dopamine depletion takes place. Now I find "Nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration is a pathological hallmark of dementia with Lewy bodies." How it works, I don't yet know, but you may find more, or I may later.
I am in this place right now (32 years old male) and objectively I would say I have a successful life although I started with terrible cards in my hand and I am grateful for life about that. However, I am right now typing this message crying because I just feel so lonely and helpless, I just don’t know why I am living at this point and I am so young….
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. But as Robin suggested l, humility is key; we cannot save ourselves. RIP Robin.
Fun fact nobody is going to save you
Miss him so much 💔
Mr. Robin Williams is still missed to this day.
Watching his art of work, I always wonder how his co-stars managed to get through any scene without laughing until they could not breathe. Through all his troubles personally, he still made us all laugh. Rest in Peace forever Mr. Williams. Your legacy will on forever through your movies, stand up and of course my favorite Mork & Mindy.
The more help you need the harder it is to pick yourself up. Rage if you must, never give an inch of ground, even out of spite if need be. On the good day you’ll feel joy and gratitude you hung on.
I was shocked when he died and how it happened. I cannot imagine Robin thought about killing himself every day during his war with depression for years. Rest in peace Robin, we love you
Genie I wish Robin Williams didn’t have to go through that 🧞♂️
I think we all feel the same.
He was successful and took his life , I am nobody and want to die but don't have the guts
.....that voice will always be there
@@sailyuihow does one begin the process of laying your demons to rest.
No matter how much help you can get there's always that sadness and dread that's there in you and it stays like a stain that's hard to get rid of until you just can't take it anymore. I don't agree that ending yourself is the answer but when you're in that dark place and there's no light, ending it seems like the best way.
Such a real and sensitive soul. We miss you, Robin 💔
This happened to me like 3 weeks ago. Days before my birthday. It was my 8th attempt. I gotta feeling I will not last on the 10th so if you read this and you know me. Know that Robin's issue is the same one as I have, thought I am allright but then those voices just comes back.
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.
Wrestler---- " we go to a shame-based place" ?
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.
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
@@user-so4sv1dq4z 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
May Robin, Rest In Peace, Amen!
I'm suffering a lot everyday literally every second im talking 24/7 going through excruciating demonic attacks I can't even get up to use the bathroom. This has been going on for many years and I'm sick and tired of it. I was made to suffer and then die. Why did I come here?
Call on Jesus Roman’s 10:9
Trigger: I used to have severe anxiety panic attacks. Violent Intrusive thoughts about negative things happening to me. I told myself to face my fears. And it didn't happen. It disappated. The thought kept occurring until it gave up. It couldn't fool me anymore. Dont listen to those thoughts!
😇☯️
You know what the most frustrating thing is about this?. It's that he talks about that the best thing you can do is reach out, get help, talk to people. And even tho he did all things he said that would help, he still ended up ending it.... It's so frustrating because it means, even if you do everything possible to try get help, there is still a large chance that it won't do anything.
Robin you are dearly missed 🫶🏻💕
A great man, a beautiful soul that is now sadly a memory in our hearts and souls. RIP Mr Robin Williams
Soul. Soul.
@@madwhitehare3635 Thank you.
Out of all celebrity deaths, Robin's is the one that struck me the hardest.
A pillar of my childhood.
I can't name a lot of celebrity deaths that really stick with me but Robin is one of them. I'm just grateful for the good memories I have watching him in various movies growing up.
People don't understand that in many cases it is just like this. Sometimes there are weeks I go with like this high of life dealing with hard situations and nothing bothers me. But than I'm sitting alone and the thought he is talking about creep in. And for me the best solution is just to look at them as they are just there but not me.
There's an article written by his wife indicating that he had Lewy Body Dementia and his brain health was rapidly declining prior to his death. This is the precipitating factor that caused him to die by suicide.
My best friend is the funniest and most happy and outgoing person I've ever known. Literally _nobody_ is funnier than him. He's a legend, in my eyes.
One day he called me in tears saying he wanted to end his own life and he wasn't joking. Apparently, he suffered from depression his whole life.
This was decades ago and he's good now, and even has a child on the way, but that phone call forever changed my life. Depression doesn't necessarily have any tells. Sometimes the "happiest" people are actually the most depressed.
Hard to believe its been 10 years without this wonderful, warm, witty man in the world. Hate to say it but he got out at just the right time, right before the world started sliding downhill.
I can see such sadness in his eyes RIP ROBIN🤍
This wasn't about suicide, it was about relapsing into addiction.
He references suicide at the beginning, and compares the urge to the addictive urge.
Not exactly about Suicide no, BUT it leads to thoughts of suicide, thoughts of depression that cause us to think, we are better off dead cuz we are so stupid, and so useless and make so many mistakes we shouldn't make cuz we know better. I wish Robin had been able to handle his diagnosis better, wish that something could have been done. The world lost such a bright light when he left us. RIP Robin.
@@greatestgoalie25 He says at the start, “it’s the same voice, the one that tells you “Jump!” and the one that tells you [to give in and use a drug you’re trying to resist]…” What else could “a voice telling you to jump” mean but a suicidal urge?
By ‘jump’ he’s referencing picking up his drug of choice…just once. That is what the voices say…one time will okay especially when you are doing okay. That is the nature of addiction and Robin is clear that he understand that it is the ‘addiction’ talking and trying to seduce him to use.
@@northernreflections4653 Thanks, Captain Obvious!
I had suicidal thoughts and depression for years through highschool and early parts of college years.. at my lowest point i asked Jesus Christ to save me. He did
NO ONE ELSE can
We love and miss you so much, Robin…rest easy, sweet angel. 🙏🏻♥️
Anyone else feel like shit just hasn't been right in the world since this great man left it?
Sometimes I don't understand how people can be alive without suicidal ideation cause I've been dealing with it for so long. I don't know what it's like to not have that voice.
You are not alone because there are others that experience the same . Seek help. Call the crisis line or 211. God bless you ❤
Same here
Me too. 'latent' is the perfect word..
Church is the best cure for you.
I remember getting plastered with my good friends the night he died, as if that was to celebrate his life. 10ish years of addiction, depression and several attempts of jumping later...I see how reckless and wasteful that time spent was. But it got me to where I am today. That internal voice will surely be back; it never leaves you for good. Just one day it up and walks away and never comes back -- Naw, doesn't work that way. No, no...it'll be back. But I'll be prepared. I'll throw on Jack or Bicentennial Man or Mrs. Doubtfire or Good Morning Vietnam or any number of my favorite movies that just so happen to star this magical man...and I'll feel not so alone in my misery. Me and Bobby McGee will weather the storm together. Rest in Paradise my good friend
"Its not caused by anything. Its just there"
So true.
I guess that once you are suicidal, it becomes a waiting game.
The idea to end it doesn't just appear out of nowhere. It's most often trauma in childhood left unresolved. People carry that pain, spend their lives trying to manage it, cope with it - they don't know how to set it down. Forgive those that injured you, if only in your mind, ONLY to FREE SELF. Then you can release it to begin to heal. Self love, self care, know your worth. It IS your strength and your worth found in no other. You cultivate your own. No one can do it for you - it doesn't work that way. Nobody has to keep suffering, you CAN choose to release it. In fact, you are the only one that can. Either you make up your mind to, or you keep carrying the weight of it. It gets heavier with time, and then swallows you whole. The trauma later rises in the form of some health crisis for your further spiral. Most often in anxiety for which you cannot explain. People choose to take themselves out when they can no longer manage their pain/trauma. Choose the other way. Choose to give a damn for self, to nurture and let the pain go. To choose suicide just inflicts pain on others - then they struggle. Healing is only as hard as you make it. No one can heal if in sorrow, anger, resentment, hatred. Just forgive to have the worst part of it fall away. Then you can find your way back to living life again. Wishing all that struggle to see their way beyond it and many blessings as they make their way. 💖🙏💫🌱🌎
It is only recently (May 2023) that I've been able to watch a Robin Williams movie (Jumangi). He was such a wonderfully funny and funny, wonderful person. His rolls (especially "Awakenings") were so full of human warmth and human kindness. Watching this interview has helped me to deal with this difficult loss.
I think that it was Robert DeNiro that was in Awakenings, not Robin Williams
Fucking true , it's always there
My close friend who jumped under a train at 23 said he heard a voice talking to him often. I think he said it was a low voice telling him to kill himself and other things alike maybe. I never knew it was real until he died. I feel shit for suspecting him for not being serious. He didn't show many signs just sometimes I could feel suttle moments of real darkness coming from him I even got angry to him because it hit me so hard when I felt something was wrong. It felt like he was trying to test me about being serious.
so sad. he probably had creatures inside.
He was sucked in by depression like a black hole does. It acts like nasty darkness that annihilates/crushes one's mind so suicide looks like a way out of this tremendous suffering.
I battle with depression I’ll be happy one day and the next I’ll be in my room in the dark not wanting to be bothered
Me too brother. Just nearly lost my relationship partially because of it. Stay strong bro. I watch robin all the time. He is great. Good will hunting is a movie that helps me
@@user-zw9bz8dg9l I’m so sorry to hear that brother! And I sure do appreciate that!
I couldn’t have said it any better. I lost my father to suicide and I struggle with suicidal thoughts myself. It’s you vs the man in the mirror and there’s no greater battle. My dad lost his fight and I pray I don’t
Crazy that he said all this yet he couldnt stop it, so tragic RIP Robin
I feel bad for Robin. He’s been making us laugh so much that on the inside this is what he’s been dealing with all through his life. Such a gentle soul shall never be taken or beaten. It really hurts me how a big part of your childhood has suffered from this all these years. He died when I was 12 and I had not noticed it until now.
Robin, know that you are in a better place and that the world lost its sunshine when you were gone. We all love and miss you. 😢❤👍
I miss Robin Williams so much, I struggled with suicidal ideation for years, sometimes it just
rears it’s ugly head and I have to remind myself to breathe & of all my blessings & the damage it would cause my family members. My ex BFF committed suicide in December 2020 & the pain that caused me was huge, I have cried for her. My friend at work, passed away in January 2014, I was horrified when her son, who Deb & I talked all the time for years bc her son and my son were the same age and both musicians. Her son struggled with depression so bad, over Deb’s unexpected & fast death, he got married in April 2014, but it didn’t relieve his depression, he hung himself 3 days after Robin, just heartbreaking and I took it to heart, because it caused so much pain to everyone.
Best “treatment” available has always been there, just waiting to be embraced. Robin was right, we can’t do it in our own. That is the first, most crucial and humble admission and the first step. The second step is recognizing it’s the Lord Jesus who alone is able to break through ANY struggle we may be facing. 🙏
so true BUT it stil FUking HURTS
If Robin Williams took his own advice about suicide he would still be alive today. Gone but never forgotten. He said in the video that he needed help.
You’re only talking about suicide, but the addiction is what led to the suicide that’s what he needed help with not suicidal thoughts just for the record
@@budgonstopCANELO Gotcha! Thanks 👍🙏 pray his soul is with God in heaven ❣️

"I think tur saddle people try their hardest to make other people around them happy. Because they know what it's like to feel worthless, and they don't want anyone else to feel like that." -Robin Williams
Embrace the addiction and the choices that led to it. All the reasons that make you sad. You can never beat it, it’s a part of you. Those experienced shaped who you are. Accept the truths, deny the lies. Don’t hide. Get help whenever you need it. At some point you will move past it all, it will fade away and when it comes back again you will know what to do. When you have ever reason to get over your weaknesses you can accomplish great things. When that one moment comes and you get to decide to throw in the towel, remember you all that got you there. I will never fall into the pits of despair again willingly, I’ll strive to overcome for my daughter and for myself. When the time comes and my life means logically bad for everyone around me? Then maybe I’ll check out, but until then I owe it to myself and my family to at least try and maybe even conquer and overcome. To anyone who thinks differently I respect your choice, it’s your life. Do with it as you desire and as you must.
For the people asking why he commits suicide. He just want to end the pain it's hard to deal with depression specially when you were alone. Ears and mind are literally bad neighbors.
He had been diagnosed with lewy body dementia.
He had dementia, there was no getting better with that. He was literally on the verge of losing his mind, he didn't just kill himself because of depression.
