A suicidal person is not thinking about familly he/she might leave behind. The only thing on thier mind is an end to the demons they can no longer deal with. It's incredibly cruel what depression and mental illness can do to a person.

Or a lot of times they are thinking of them but believe in their hearts that their loved ones would be better off without them.

When I was 14 years old, I went on location to film Mrs. Doubtfire for five months, and my high school was not happy. My job meant an increased workload for teachers, and they were not equipped to handle a “non-traditional” student. So, during filming, they kicked me out.
It’s devastating, at 14, to have your formal education terminated. I felt like a freak and a reject. When I arrived at work the next day, Robin noticed that I was upset and asked me what was wrong. I explained what had happened, and the next day, he handed me a letter that he wrote to my school. He explained that I was just trying to continue my education while pursuing my career. He wrote embarrassingly kind things about my character and my work, and requested that they reconsider and allow me to return to my classes.
When I told him I still didn’t think they would take me back, he said, “It’s kinda like Amnesty International. That school just needs to know that people know the truth.”
From my psychology degree I remember that men attempt less but go through with it more and women attempt more and don't succeed as often because with women it's much more often a cry for help and in their mind they weren't sure they intended to go through with it but the illness had them so bad they felt it was their only option. Condolences to anyone effected by depression and it's awful maladies.
The toughest thing for me to watch was Conan addressing it at the end of the show after finding out minutes earlier. Watching three comedians just sit there and process losing Robin Williams in real time was crazy.
The most eerie part was when he announced it and it was new to the audience and hearing the "nooo"'s and gasps coming from the crowd. That's actually a moment that will stay in my memory for a long time, something you really don't see in modern day with everything so instant on social media.
I'd just like to give a small thank you to this community, for displaying as much empathy for mental illness and depression as I've ever seen, Online or otherwise.
You know, I never really appreciated Robin for what he was capable of on screen, I've been on a Williams bender for the better part of the last 24 hours, mostly just observing the dramatic roles he's played over the years. I don't think I've shed so many tears in the span of one day before.
We'll miss you Robin...

Jimmy Fallon got pretty worked up on tonight's show. Nice little tribute too, worth a watch.
Like everyone else in here, I too am deeply saddened by the passing of this great comedian, actor and human being. He was involved in a lot of films that I grew up watching and brought me a lot of laughs over the years.
With all of the tributes and stories, what I find really evident is just how tightly knit comedians are with each other.

This death really hurt. Only the death of Ryan Dunn affected me as much. Both were big pieces of my youth and signified the end of something really special.
I was really disappointed Robin's show was cancelled and didn't get a second season. I really liked it. I had been watching the episodes over the weekend that I still had on my DVR. I couldn't believe it when I heard it on the radio that he had died, then to hear the manner of his death? Really sad.
He was one of my absolute favorites. My dad and I would watch Aladdin all the time. I grew up with his family friendly stuff and then when I was older, my dad and I would watch his stand up and his non family friendly movies. Such a captivating performer and actor.
I can't speak to him as a person. I've only read about him, but honestly, he had kind eyes. He seemed like he would be a really approachable, fun loving guy. I remember saying to my dad that I always wished I was related to him, that he was my crazy uncle or something.
There is no one like Robin Williams. His shoes will remain empty from here on out. It would be impossible to put out a movie about his life, because there is just no one that could play him. There is not a single actor on the planet that could be Robin Williams. That is how awesome, legendary and important this man was to the world. It's too bad that couldn't help him through his despair.

After reading a bit, he was involved in some messy divorce issues, which was costing him tens of millions of dollars. There are some quotes from him that signify it was taking its toll on him. Poor guy - depression played the biggest role, but his other life complications didn't help the fact either.
Considering the grief that Disney gave him over the years regarding the Aladin project, I wonder how he would feel about them using the genie image the way they are now. It almost seems like an insult.

Basically, Disney created the Genie character with Robin Williams in mind and practically begged him to do it. He agreed and was only paid a base salary of $75,000 (as opposed to his going rate of $8 million). He stipulated though that the genie character could not take up more than 25% of advertising graphics and his voice couldn't be used to sell the movie (he had other movies coming out at the time and didn't want to take attention away from them). Disney went back on their word and it caused a big feud between the 2 (if you notice, the sequels used a different voice over actor).
I can't recall the whole story. I do know that they made up several years later, but then had another feud over something else.
