Very sad.



Haven't been this bummed since Hunter S. Thompson died.

+1 No matter how good it might look to be someone else, often they are messed up inside like the rest of us. Seems like such a waste though.

When I told my daughter about this the first thing she said was "Flubber". He will definitely be missed. One of the best actors that has come along in a long time.

Damn shame. What a great talent. Patch Adams was a family favorite.

A comedy genious, his brain could compute ad libs at a million miles per hour, a true shame he could not bypass the thoughts brought on by depression.

Nano Nimnel..... Shazbut.... and so many more of his comments are so easily recognized. I will absolutely miss Mork from Ork.

I agree sleepy.

I have first hand experience dealing with major depression. I am finally getting the help that I feel I have needed for so long... I have been on meds for fourteen years. Seems like they never did work for me. Finally finding a combo that works. Finally taking care of my drinking problem. Finally have a job I love. I have been blessed with the best family I could have ever asked for. I've worked ridiculously hard for all of it, but I know that it's gods blessing that make it a reality.



There are nights I wake up in night sweats hollering aloud. Sometimes crying for no reason. Yea The stuff that make you wish you were dead. Been there. Not A fun place, not worth even visiting.



Only reason I'm here today is my love for my family, rc friends, past co workers, and my love for life and now sharing it with the children.



I have to add that the switching of the medicines is the hardest part. Side effects are horrible. Think I'm going through the hardest part now. I ain't got it all that bad... I know others need to hear words of encouragement. That's why I just posted what I did.



Keep the faith folks, it'll be okay.
