Robin Williams was a mixed person, the happiness, laughter, humour, kindness, the depression, loneliness and empathy - it was all real (edit, not meaning that he did not where a mask sometimes, just that he experience it all).

Many people who experience depression hide it sometimes, or as much as they can...because we don't want to effect others negatively, or to feel even more alone and misunderstood, ourselves...so it's true that we can't show it to everyone, but most of us hopefully have someone to turn to if we need it...I made a big mistake once of not doing this...I have learned that if I ever feel that way again, I will tell someone...

One of my closer friends told me that the reason why she loves to spend time with me is because I am happy, I am a mixed up person, too.

My Wife and I were shocked and saddened...

Nanoo... Nanoo... My Friend.

He was so full of life and always brought a laugh to my day. He was a Deep guy and I guess his pain ran deep as well. He will be missed by so many. It is still hard to believe.

!
People come and people go, and what is left...
I didn't know Robin Williams as a person, but I did know Nanoo a little for a while.

Those of us who make jokes constantly... it takes one to know one.

PS. How many of us remember Nanoo when he was on the forum? ...
How many noticed when he left? and why? ...
I remember I did.
It was the same person, but of course Nanoo was not ' famous' to notice him while he was there.
(forgive me for the harshness, but when I see what is going on sometimes I have my own reaction to it)

It is sad of course, but it is more sad when we don't respect and love the living and think of them when they cross over.

I'm hearing folks stating Robin Williams was diagnosed with depression. I wonder if he was taking antidepressants for this?

While antidepressants are designed to decrease the symptoms of depression, they occasionally have the opposite effect and can increase suicidal thoughts and actions.

Folks have been linking antidepressant use among US soldiers returning home and the huge up tick in suicide among those soldiers.

Is there a link with Robin Williams here?

Damn mofo 'left' before me...
Didn't change anything, though - still loving you, Robin!

Thank you for every single laugh Robin

A truly saddening start for this day when I saw the news about his death. Robin was one of my favorite actors and comedians, he gave us so many laughs and now he has left the earthly stage and finally can be at peace. I could sense and see his sensitivity from his eyes, bless his soul.

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil

I was making a reference to one of his characters not the former forum member, FYI...

"Nanoo... Nanoo..." was a famous and often quoted line from Robin Williams first TV show "Mork and Mindy". It was the greeting from "His Planet". I believe it was from the late 70's or early 80's (Someone correct me if I am wrong on dates). It was my first introduction to Robin and I followed his career from that point to the end.

From another comment, it is true comedians often come from a world of despair and comedy was their Xanax. I too came from a crazy background and was the family "Monkey Boy" that made people in my family laugh when the pain was the worst. We need more people here bringing joy and laughter to offset the daily pain of the human condition... IMHO.

It is sad that his flame burned bright and burned out so quickly.

Please remember as was mentioned in the more recent PA thread on suicide today, that Aug 11 in the USA was "THe GLorious 12th" in great britain, the day they start shooting/harvesting the wild birds (pheasant grouse ptarmigan), all the "red birds" of the autumn start to be killed this week. it's a symbolic death perhaps.

it brings to mind concerns held by the Quaids, my fixation on the strange death of Hoffman earlier this year,
and who hasn't seen:





I loved Robin Williams' films as well, who cares what the other actors said about him, he put 2 + 2 together and made great movies... put energy into impossible roles and made them possible. not many actors tried that hard.


truly a sad morning.

p.s. please say a prayer also for Sage Stallone and Princess Di. it's close to that time.

I just saw this just now and cried when I read what his daughter quoted to him last night.

http://news.yahoo.com/robin-williams...115016057.html

Indeed Robin was one of those with some very tragic aspects of his life all along, and especially the way he went out.
However as many of us saw there was a shining soul behind it all, and his daughter's tweet expresses that so well.

Oh my gosh... Robin!
Who else here doesn't think it was suicide?

I must admit that sometimes when celebrities die in mysterious circumstances I do wonder if they're suicided and perhaps sacrificed. Certainly that's the case sometimes, but also celebrities too are just people and they struggle with their pains and depressions like we do.
