For me not to protect the others but to "protect" me from them. If they discover your Achilles heel, then you are fucked up. They'll use it against you one way or another.The loss of Avicii is very sad indeed, I love his music.
I think your post is a valid one and just goes to show that you have no idea what is going on behind closed doors. Most of us put on a mask to protect the others around us and because it is easier to say 'I'm fine' then actually explain what is wrong. There are such stigmas around having a mental health condition still.
However, I hope you feel that you don't have to wear that mask here and that you can speak your mind without being judged by others or pretending to be something you are not. This is a safe space!
I don't like it when people make assumptions. Yes we were all told that he was struggling with the business and wanted a break and to have less work to enjoy life more, but it doesn't mean that there wasn't anything else going on. It doesn't mean that he didn't have these thoughts his whole life in one form or another. It doesn't mean he didn't have any other trouble and problems. We don't know, we can't know, so to reduce his whole life and his suicide and the reason behind it to just one sentence and one thing, especially when we all are literally no one, and we had no contact with him whatsoever, is just not right.He didn't have a mask. He couldn't handle the business. Never could. Wanted to get out but couldn't. He did try.
THIS^^^You never know how a person is really feeling just by looking at them or by how they act.
I hide my depression very well, everyone who I've ever heard comment about me irl say how chill and carefree I am. What they don't know is that part of the reason why I'm so "chill" is because severe depression year after year has left me with low energy and an indifference to everything. But I hide my sadness very well, not one person irl suspects that I'm depressed.
Holy hell! I didn't realize that's how he went. Poor guy :(His method was so brutal. He slit his throat with a broken wine bottle.
RIP.
i felt thatfaking a smile is hard, but it gets easier when you know you are living your final days.
i remember being at my "happiest" in the days leading to my first attempt. there is a sense of calm and carefree attitude, it helps when you need to put up an empty smile. it may not be the same for everyone, but it felt that way for me.
I didn't realize that either! My God, u have to b extremely desperate to do something like that! Poor soul..Holy hell! I didn't realize that's how he went. Poor guy :(
I was extremely shocked when I found out how he went, it sounds so horrible, he must've been in such pain in his life to do something like that, and the bravery it took to do it I can't even imagineI didn't realize that either! My God, u have to b extremely desperate to do something like that! Poor soul..
