Nobody blames cancer patients, says it's their fault for not trying to survive. People don't seem to get mental illness is just that, an illness. Nobody wants it, nobody has the ability to just "get over it" People seem to confuse it with being sad, but being sad and being CRAZY are two very different things.
It's tragic for the surviving family. I don't know why people can't acknowledge that it's tragic for everyone involved and there aren't always good guys and bad guys.
forgot about that show, i liked that too. the show i didnt like was 'the taste"
Ok and most depressed people do seek help. Meds, therapy, lifestyle changes. If there was a magic solution they'd jump on it. Nobody WANTS to be depressed.
I'll admit it is one of those things really hard to comprehend by people, like myself who have never experienced it. Mainly because it seems mostly self inflicted unlike cancer. And i say that understanding that there might be brain wiring issues that are not self inflicted.
What, he had another show called The Taste or was that one where he was a celebrity chef judge? I will have to check out his IMDB.
With myself and everyone I've known like me, it's definitely not self inflicted. I got the perfect storm for instability: Both of my parents are severely mentally unstable, my childhood was filled with abuse and neglect, etc.
I personally would struggle even more with believing or understanding any of your reasons being the one without it being layered with depression on top of that.
ya tough spot and I certainly know people can be born into or inherit shitty situations. Sorry to hear it and certainly I can follow that path you painted and see how that could create ongoing challenges and issues.With myself and everyone I've known like me, it's definitely not self inflicted.

But the crazy didn't really start for me until puberty. It was instantaneous and permanent. I went from a kid that just wanted to play, that was a bit shy, to a shut in overnight. Never wanted to leave the house. Felt like everything I touched was contaminated. Went from a kid that liked to go out and play and get dirty to someone that had to take multiple showers every day, wash their hands until they bled, was paranoid to touch anything in a public place because of germs. Overnight, with no history of giving a single fuck about things like that.
Then came the anxiety, and severe depression. By my late teens I was thinking about suicide every day and harming myself. Drinking until I'd black out, etc. It was horrifying. At a time you're supposed to be trying to establish an adult self, my mind had been taken from me by forces beyond my control. I'm a lot more stable now, and I've worked goddamn hard to GET more stable.
But I'm not normal and I'm not happy. I struggle to date or make friends, to work a job without eventually losing my temper and ruining it. I think about killing myself every single day. I'll let my mind wander then realize I'm debating the merits of hanging vs overdosing vs driving my car off of a cliff. But I go on and I make plans and I say around the corner it will get better. Although it never does. And then I look at someone that just couldn't do it anymore, and all I feel is sad for them. Even if they had more money and friends than me, women flocked to them, whatever.
Obviously whatever they had still wasn't enough to beat the sickness every single day. And you're in a battle every day and you HAVE to win every day. Then someday you just can't anymore and people say what a pussy, he should have tried fighting it.
Does this ball washing include sniffing for Asia Argento's lady parts? If so, I might have to join in.
yes he was a judge, but not like a guest judge. he was a regular judge and the format of the show had him as one of the head chefs for contestants that were split up into different teams.
I just remember her in Land of the dead, she'll always be in that changing room in my fantasies.
