Obviously it's not that simple. coming from someone that's been in those feelings, having nothing but self doubt and drugs to keep you company while you're treating all of your loved ones like dirt because everyone's out to get you in your mind. Mental illness is an extremely overlooked problem, and most of the pillls don't do a damn thing to help either. It takes a realization, something to bring you back to earth to get your mind back on track. Coming from someone who's been hooked on benzodiazepines in my teenage years. Also amphetamines at a more recent age. The pills hardly ever do anything but enable you to run away from your problems. I'm completely clean and have been for 8 months.
Turns out having a seizure and nailing your head off the concrete while on drugs can do wonders when you wake up and realize who was in that hospital room when you came to. Now I'm not trying to start an argument I'm just letting you know I'm not some armchair psychologist ive lived through the horrors and it made me a better person when I finally came to. I wholeheartedly will always wish that Chester could've realized it but he also had a heavy emotional load himself. It's just a sad situation that stems from people not understanding.
Just because you went through your own personal battles doesn't mean everyone else goes through the same thing, feels the same way or gets past it the same way. Surely you realize that. Everyone is different and that includes people struggling with mental health. For some people their realization can go in the other direction and all it takes is one moment of weakness and they're gone for good.
That's very true and we're all different people and certain situations affect other people in ways that it would never affect you. I completely agree and I wish nothing but the best for his friends and family who have to suffer the loss of a talented human being that people look up to and loved too much. That's all I really can do it feels awful to lose another person to suicide. ---
