Damn, I grew up on this guy's show. I always dig his personality because he's not some TV personality putting on an act for the audience. RIP to him, hopefully someone can fill his shoes in the future.

man, i loved watching his shows and reading his books.
dude was such a great wordsmith too, the way he could describe something so simple and make it sound like the greatest thing ever was unreal.

and people who call it selfish are hypocrites.
cant say for children. but for adults, it can be selfish and hypocritical imo.
oh absolutely. im not saying suicide is the recommended way to end their misery at all. they should def try rehab, treatment, speak up and we should have a culture to bring awareness about mental illness and depression issues more. but im saying if someone does choose the suicide road and someone calls them selfish, its hypocritical.

This.
I tried therapy and counseling and it didn't work. Medication didn't help either, they just loved prescribing new things (go figure).
I dunno, maybe for me it's cuz someone tried to take my life before so I view it as selfish to take your own life.

This is a fact. Dude did it his way.
Cant say I was a fan of his style but always found myself tuning in to No Reservations.

Of course they're gonna prescribe new things if what they were giving you wasn't helping. A doctor has an obligation to treat and evaluate the efficacy of what they're prescribing. It's not like their follow-up note is gonna be "Welp...**** it, I tried."
But either way, I'm glad you had the mental strength to overcome your depression. However, I'm not gonna sit here and judge someone else's mental state when I have no clue what was going on in their life or in their head.
I just think it's wrong to use a memorial thread as an opportunity to get on your soapbox about how you thought their actions were wrong when the ink is still drying on their death certificate.

I love that they sealed the table and dishes they used from that special in a glass box. Would have never thought to do that.

because those people rather have suicidal people suffer for their own emotional comfort/not having to deal with the burden of knowing someone who committed suicide.
being suicidal/extreme depression is like what someone posted back a couple pages. being stuck in a house on fire while suffocating. like a mental prison of torture.
I dont agree with suicide, as we they should speak out about their problem, but I also cant agree with people calling them selfish.
I wrote this in another thread but I really hope they at least washed the dishes they used

... Loved his work and his shows... Regardless of what your stance is on suicide just remember that we have no idea what someone is going through mentally. We are all different and deal with things differently.

I guess my point is every act, in life, we make is SELFISH. We all look out for US, first and foremost.
Even when doing FOR others, it makes US feel good, so we continue to do so.
So calling an act that a human does SELFISH is like pointing out the color of the sky.
I think it is pointless to comment on how selfish it is when we don't know WHAT he has dealing with, for HOW long, to WHICH extent, and WHAT he did to get through it. We simply don't know.

What if you felt like you've already let them down and put them in a bad place? I'm pretty sure you've been down bad, but that's not clinical depression. The difference is they can't do what you did to stay strong.

With Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade committing suicide. I hope it changes people’s perceptions on mental illnesses and depression. People think its just the millienials and the younger generation who make these stuff up and are soft who dont know how to face these problems. It can happen to anyone.
Having a close friend who committed suicide 6 months ago broke me and devastated me. You feel this guilt in there feeling like maybe you could have done something. Maybe I should have done this or that. I wish his family and friends the best during this awful time. Anthony Bourdain based on what i saw on TV was an awesome human being.

I just watched one of his episodes and one thing I noticed is he's seems extremely self-reflective and cerebral. One thing I know is when you're super aware of yourself and your feelings, it dictates your mindset. So when you're not happy, you continuously reflect on it and it constantly stays on your mind. It's a like a hole that only you can help yourself climb out of, if you choose to.

If you've experienced this, imagine how it is for someone on a much more intense level to the point they choose to end it. It's like being a prisoner in your own mind. Saying it's selfish to me is like being mad at someone you love for not escaping prison. Is how they got there selfish? possibly, but their period of helplessness ain't the time to judge.
