Yeah. You read right. This is for everything that doesn't have anything to do with Eva.

There is nothing to feel insensitive about - you displayed sadness for her; your misinformation of when it occurred need not be a source a guilt. I on the other hand had no idea she even existed until reading what you wrote.

It takes a strong will to commit suicide and it doesn't always have to be a case of someone being trapped in a corner. To some it may be a case of entirely owning yourself - not leaving it up to chance or someone else. Take it yourself so nothing else can.

Others may view it as a simpler/happier/better alternative to life and feel contented in their decision.

I can't help but respect someone who has what it takes to end their own life and appreciate what is required to see it through.

As the old cliche goes, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. In my own experience treating patients, even the most hardcore biologically-based depression can improve with the correct treatment whether it is medication, therapy, ECT, or something else. Suicide should never be considered an option. (This is, of course, not counting people who wish for medically-assisted suicide due to terminal illnesses.)

Man, I just heard about Robin, too. I can't believe it. Loved that guy and he was a huge Eva fan as well. Lost a great member of our community. :sniffle:

Fuck everything.
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

It's always surprising when a comedian commits suicide, not to mention sad. RIP Robin Williams.

There's much truth to saying about crying clowns unfortunately. On the contrary I've never particularly surprised when I learn some famous comedian is depressed mess in real life.

What really shocks me is he stated in an interview (several years back) that he didn't have a sad clown thing going on, but he does have his sad moments like everybody. Of course, people won't publicly speak about private matters like depression/anxiety.

Still a terrible shock. My thoughts and prayers especially go out to his family. :(
