Do you like someone who has commited suicide?

[noname223]

I've read a lot about people who have commited suicide. My favorite ones were David Foster Wallace (great author), Chester Bennington (great musician) and Adam Maier Clayton (Youtuber and Right-do-die activist). All of them were great people. But all of them suffered A LOT.

Jill Janus (singer from the band Huntress), she suffered with multiple mental illnesses.

Actor Robin Williams. I miss him. He was a legend

 

[nolongerhuman]

Alan Turing (Famous computer scientist and codebreaker during WWII) really didn't deserve the BS he was handed in life. Robin Williams seemed like a very nice person and he was very talented.

Itachi Uchiha died?!?!?

 

[motel rooms]

I've said it before, I'll say it again - Jesus! He suffered from schizophrenia/delusions of grandeur & his stated mission was to get killed. So, it's sexy Jesus in the morning, Jesus & his perfect abs all day, Jesus at night while we sleep together tight!

My cousin. I really wish I could speak with him and ask him about his ctb,

I feel like people who commit suicides are much more likely to be good people or at least in some way redeemable (I hate narcissists and they never commit suicides thus a person who commits suicide is not a narcissist, and non-narcissist=good), so when I hear someone ctb, I automatically think that there was at least something good about them.

Cobain.

When he died i was away from home, in england, and the headline read "The Lennon Addict Who Shot Himself"

His mother was quoted as saying "I told him not to join that damned club" (famous people who died young tragically)

I adored/still adore his music. A legend.

Per Yngve Öhlin, vocalist in Mayhem

 

[HarpoMarx]

Chester, Chris Cornell, Hemingway, Ian Curtis, Cobain, the list is very long. I used to wonder how many artists i really liked/felt close which hadnt committed suicide. I guess that's how I normalised suicide / suicidal style of life myself, and i even idealised it.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Etika...

 

[hfdepression30]

I often think about Caroline Flack, Jonghyun, Sulli and Goo Hara. All died by hanging, except Jonghyun by charcoal burning.

 

[death137]

I've lots of ppl in my mind (most weren't famous) but if I've to choose one then I think I would say Tewodros II.

 

[nightnightnitrite]

A guy I use to talk to. We had a bad falling out and I put slight blame of his death onto myself): He was so young and talented and I still think about him to the day and what he would be doing if he was still here now<3

 

[DeadButDreaming]

Per Yngve Öhlin, vocalist in Mayhem

I think Erik from Immortal also committed suicide.

Chester, Chris Cornell, Hemingway, Ian Curtis, Cobain, the list is very long. I used to wonder how many artists i really liked/felt close which hadnt committed suicide. I guess that's how I normalised suicide / suicidal style of life myself, and i even idealised it.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of my favourite novels. The first name that came to my mind when I saw the thread title was Tchaikovsky.

 

[darkghost]

Ian Curtis

 

[Bat 17]

In addition to those mentioned : Mark Rothko, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Vincent van Gogh

A guy I met while I was getting ect done for major depression at a hospital. We became friends & talked of ctb off and on, I think he wanted me to die with him. I said it's a personal thing I'd rather do it alone but I hurt his feelings, I could have been nicer about how I said it, he was already feel pretty depressed at that point. Then tried to message him a few times but didn't hear from him again. Found out a few weeks later from his roommate that he ctb. I felt partially to blame & miss him. He was a great musician & incredibly intelligent & funny.

Chester Bennington everyday. I wish I was brave enough to go out in the same manner as him.

 

[user398417]

Yes, it's on my profile picture

 

[motel rooms]

I want to become my favorite person who has committed suicide

 

[Deadlyroses]

Chris Cornell is a huge one for me. The fact that he had so much and still struggled- and ultimately lost the fight against his demons. In spite of everything he accomplished. It speaks to how fucking difficult it is to endure mental illnesses. His singing conveyed so much pain and passion. And his lyrics resonate with me because he was also very depressed.

Yes those guys and also Ian Curtis, Kurdt, Plath and Richey Edwards for me.

 

[Luna77]

Yes those guys and also Ian Curtis, Kurdt, Plath and Richey Edwards for me.

Musician Elliot Smith comes to mind as well (wrote the song Needle in the Hay, played during the suicide attempt scene in the movie the Royal Tennenbaums)

Beautiful tattoo.
Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain (up for debate, don't start it here), David Foster Wallace, Per Ohlin, Ernest Hemingway (also up for debate), Van Gogh, Robin Williams, and there's more I probably can't think of.

Anyone here believes what happened to MJ was assisted suicide?

 

[avoid_slow_death]

Twice. Once in high school. Girl I had a crush on. Most popular girl in school. We were friends and had a fight one night on the phone. Call her next day to apologize and her dad anwered telling me she had ctbed. The other, a good friend I made here. That one still hurts.

Interesting. Maybe there's something to this. Would be terrible if the doc got coerced into it. I guess it's still malpractice though.

As for me, I would say this for the lead singer of Audioslave, Chris Cornell, or maybe the lead to Alice In Chains, Layne Staley. I have no clue how either man was morally, but I do admire their talent.
