Question:
that Michael Hutchence’s suicide was brought on due to a mix of antidepressants and alcohol.
They had to blame it on something simple – liquor and drugs. Makes me think of Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life. ‘Spose Hutchence just lost sight of Johnny Yen again? That’d be too hard to explain in a broadcast infobite news format. Liquor and drugs, kind of has a ring to it. I know it really stupid to say so but… anti-depressants?
Yup. There is a huge anti-psychiatry movement. They like the idea of antidepressants causing suicide. Fits for them. He seemed to have everything I could want. It just makes me wonder if I can ever be happy? Will I ever get better or am I just putting off the inevitable?
Putting off the inevitable just happens, all it needs is the chance to happen. As for getting better, it seems to come and go for me, how has it been in your experience? I’m just so bummed out now, I could just go to bed. I don’t even want to sit here and write this.
You did it anyway. Just happened that way, eh? Look, if the fame and fortune didn’t help him then that’s got nothing to do with it. Probably was just extra noise along the way. whatever makes someone decide to speed the inevitable by initiating the final sequence of events instead of waiting for nature to take its course is more dependent on the internal mental states of the individual rather than that individual’s actual state of being. One can die happy in the gutter, another sad on the throne, doesn’t matter what’s going on outside, it’s all in the trip. http://members.tripod.com/~Veb/index.htm
Response:
Depression doesn’t judge who it strikes. For whatever reasons Michael Hutchence, was battling the same snarling beast as we. To me, when famous people commit suicide it’s just proof that we can try to make ourselves believe that money, fame, and approval will solve everything, but in reality, money, fame, and approval all are great big golden geese. We may think of them as answers, but there has to be something deeper to sustain us. We all feel like we are hopeless, but we are not. Alot of us here are living proof. Yes, Hutchence caved in, but I’ll bet you’re stronger than that.

that’s always the big question… am I swimming the English Channel (e.g., it’s hard, but I might make it, some people have before, and it makes a difference whether I try or not), or, am I swimming the Atlantic Ocean? You never do know, unless and until your feet touch a sandy bottom — but still, wouldn’t it be the ultimate bummer to drown just before the cliffs of Dover come into view? l,m it’s not over til it’s over
Response:
Having a great day…got up, showered, took my medication, ATE LUNCH (that’s a big one for me) enjoyed the insanity of Judge Judy and then I change channels. Now I was never the biggest INXS fan, I enjoyed their music but I never owned a CD of there’s or any thing, but I just heard that Michael Hutchence’s suicide was brought on due to a mix of antidepressants and alcohol. I know it really stupid to say so but… anti-depressants? He seemed to have everything I could want. It just makes me wonder if I can ever be happy?

Yup that’s the worse. My son is gone for the weekend with his grandmother and my daughter is at her fathers. So it’s me and my puter and a cup of coffee. I hate weekends. I love my job and would like to work daily just to keep my mind busy. When I’m busy I forget about the depression. When I am alone that’s all I can think of. Jane

I’m sorry, but I know what you mean. For me though, it’s the same feeling I have 7 days a week. Scott
Well Im too busy during the week to think about being alone, I don’t notice it so much. Here it is a long weekend and we’re suppose to remember those who are no longer with us and that only makes this weekend even more lonlier and more sad Jane

Hi Jane! In one way, they are something to be gotten through, but we wait all week for them… The bad part can often be the loneliness of not having a regular friend writing, and not having someone fun to be with… Sometimes we push ourselves during the week, not to think, but then have time on the weekend… That is when I just need to talk with someone all the more, else, want to blank out, get drunk on friday night and attempt to sleep or stay that way til sunday… the feelings you have are shared… Purrs, Puma

I have never come across such love to life and to people that were around her or far from her. She lost the man whom she loved; she had to leave the country she loved; she almost committed suicide……. She turned to serious writing.

I have at times entertained the thought of getting a second job to work the weekends just to fill that time.. I suppose the positive part of my depression is that I’m not yet depressed enough to put my body through that kind of stress and punishment yet! -Stewart

Response:
I don’t know if the loneliness that hit me last night was the trigger or a warning, but I’ve crashed harder than I have in a long time. The *joys* of rapid cycling…..the fearful, nauseating feeling of depression that usually, now, stays in my stomach has spread all through me. The back of my head feels wide open. I’ve come on group to concentrate on something other than the feeling, now. I don’t feel like doing anything else. Every bad thing I’ve ever done in my life ysed to repeat endlessly through my head during a time like this. Now the only thing that repeats is the line "it’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine…" At least I do about myself!
