Why?


Why did Robin Williams commit suicide???

reply

Mork and Mindy was canceled.

reply

Mental health. I think he suffered from bipolar mania, which means that a lot of the time he was probably unbelievably depressed. It's brain chemistry and the mind he had made him get the blues in a bad way.

His loss is felt by everybody who loves comedy deeply. He was such a great performer and, so I've heard, a lovely guy.

May he rest in peace...

reply

Thank you.

wasnt it also that he'd recently been diagnosed with a degenerative desease?

reply

Yes. I believe it was Lewy Body Dementia which is degenerative and causes both mental and physical decline. It has some similar characteristics to Parkinson’s Disease. Very debilitating and sad

reply

For the same reasons those who suicide do so. He let external reality affect him. Suicide does not rid you of your problems. They follow you through all your reincarnations until you muster the courage to resolve them, to come to the realization that you are not a being of this world.

What?? 😂😂😂

Your name checks out.

I no longer believe what I said back then. After some youtube videos I watched, I gave up my hopes for an afterlife and became an atheist.

reply

The ironic thing is you let "external reality affect you" (those youtube videos) and now you lost your hope?

Well I pray you regain hope for some belief and find peace.

reply

Back then, I did not let external reality affect me, because I believed there was a God. Now I know there is not one. Nothing will happen after death. I will just perish. So everything is pointless.

reply

I think you're in a bad way, but will hope you will pull through and not see everything through a negative lens. We've all had our low points. Try not to think harshly of yourself and others. Something can mean worlds to you but be pointless to another, and vice versa. Everything matters even if we dont understand it. I wish you well

It'll be ok, buddy

Interesting enough most comedians once you dig into their lives, they are quite depressed people. Also I think he once was worth over 100 million and divorced 3 times, by the time of his death he was broke. That alone I think would be enough to explain his suicide.

reply

His death shouldn't count as a legitimate suicide. He had a condition called Lewy Body Dementia which is somewhat related to Parksinson's but has much different effects as it causes dementia. The 'Lewy Bodies' were eating away at his brain making life unbearable.

reply

Add that to the fact that he was a very physical comedian. These symptoms were career ender for him. That had to compound his issues.

reply

There was a literal hell going on in his brain that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

reply

There's nothing wrong with choosing suicide.
