RE: Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade..... Icons who battle in silence (MONEY and FAME do not bring Happiness)
This is one of the few topics I'm not cracking jokes about. We deify these people, treat them like they're better than we are - superhuman - but they are just as likely to experience mental health problems as any of us.
Robin Williams hit me pretty hard.
Anyone who dismisses anxiety and depression as something we should just shake off or get over ... I hope they get cancer. So I can tell them to just shake it off or get over it.
I don't wish cancer or aids or anything like that on people, in fact some might cope or triumph/battle that over some with chronic PTSD or depression or the myriad of other sufferings us humans get to endure.
There is something very, very wrong with imho the "American Rat Race" of traveling all the time, sitting in traffic to go sit somewhere for upwards of 80 hours a week plus for most just to scrape by in hopes of being able to sit in a McMansion all weekend.
Then sometimes I look at some people on here/discord who are ALWAYS on, always...... we know the power of the off button but I wonder if at times this isn't just as depressing as sitting in a cubicle....just my personal philosophy as I do a few things on here , pop on and off and then go plant flowers. R.I.P. Anthony...Kate...Robin...the list is miles long........
Suicide comes is many forms and for many reasons ! some know the world too much and then want to talk about it, some listen and dont know what to say and to whom about it all ! But sure Dead men and women tell no tales to anyone for sure, once the "deed "is done ! Suicide is a good solution to many problems ! But tell me how do two people that didnt know each other both die from hanging from a door knob with a scalf aind within days of each other ?? ! How short must you be to die from hanging from a door knob in a hotel room ?? Maybe door knobs in Hotle room in hotlels should be lower follwing this, to make sure peoples feet do actually touch the ¡ground if they try this ! Suicide can be most convenient to silemce any dissanting and wagging tongues !!
