There comes a point with depression where you MUST drop everything and get help but it's way down the road.
I just think this was just all an accident and it's tragic but it doesn't truly affect me or you the way it would if it happened to a close friend or family member.
But I do understand you're point of view.....but you'd have to agree the paparazzi are a great annoyance and could drive someone insane, I know I couldn't handle it people driving cars crazy as hell and hiding in trees and stuff just to get a F****** picture, it's crazy. Everyone has stress in their life but some just either deal with it better or simply have less of it
You called me a minx. Are we flirting now ;D have a cc
Depression can show itself in many forms and not everyone one can speak out. If people intervene it may not help, like a drug addiction, you can only sort yourself out when you are ready to and some people just can't work their shit out at any point.
Imagine everytime you set foot out the door they're there, actually they don't always have to be, some knacker with a zoom is just as bad. People going through your garbage. People round you tipping them off when you go to the store/holiday/restaurant, so you wonder who to trust. Everyone you're photographed with is 'romantically linked' to you whether they are or not. Imagine explaining those pics to your other half. Them going out of there way to wind you up just to get a reaction shot & then sue you. Everyone one of these slimes deserves to get punched in the face. No offence :)
It would do my head in.
No wonder so many end up mental cases.
I still think accidental OD till I read otherwise.

Also it could have been an accidental OD, he didn't seem like the kind of person to off himself whereas Kurt Cobain DID seem like someone who would kill himself.
TrainerMonkey everyone has their rough patches and yeah when it all boils down to it not many of us will be affected by Heath Ledger's death....I just find it surprising is all. No one is expecting you to drop everything and feel worse for him and his family than you would feel if it happened in your family or to someone you actually know....infact if that happened I would worry about your mental health. Depression is tough to deal with, I should know because I have also had serious bouts of depression some where I wasn't getting sleep and I lost 46 pounds in a little less than 2 months and it was very hard to drag myself out of it but I have a good support system, but anyway I hope everything ends up working out for you TM
thank you LYLE.. CC for understanding what i meant in my previous post..

And finally, when I saw he was playing the Joker in Batman, I was F****** wrapt... It would be an awesome role for him, a departure from the characters he usually plays, good guys, where the viewer is supposed to grow an attachment to him... This would have been a great step in his career and taken him into a whole new league..
I'm very pissed off to see him go.... Their are worse people in the world that I should have died a thousand times over from all the S*** they carry on with *cough* paris *cough*...
RIP Heath
He had already completed his part in Batman so the movie will still be released. I think all filming has been done and it's just in the editing now.
I dont know if he OD'd by accident or it was purposeful, but either way no one knows how much he was suffering. I always got the vibe he was a "good" person. Many times introspective/sensitive people are more prone for depression and escapism than those who live very superficial, "me-driven" lives.
But it is also very possible it could have been an accidental overdose. Though having used sleeping pills myself somewhat recreationally a few times in the past I can say it does not give the desired effect that would make someone want to abuse them regularly. But they are also the kind of thing if you take a few you can end up taking 10 more without even realizing it. Strange drug benzos are, I am surprised they are still legal and so commonly prescribed in the US.

Best publicity that the Batman film could ever have got. In fact if I was a Producer I would always arrange for one of my stars to die in a mysterious accident .... (?)
Plus, come on guys 'how much he was suffering/ the artist as victim/ hand wringing shit about all this .... he either was too thick to work out a correct dose or he was weak. American Hollywood actors do not 'suffer' in the accepted sense of the word.
Re: Heath Ledger found dead
CC Missy and the flirting is only continued when you show me your boobs :thumb:
And you are correct depression can show itself in a number of ways and sometimes people don't show it at all but they are torn up on the inside and that is just really hard to believe that people are not able to share their feelings....I can understand sometimes with family you don't want to explain everything but there is support outside of that available

Those guys had some issues more serious than my politics and honestly I would have done anything to try and help them in their times of need but not many people just come right out and tell you, one of my friends' suicide caught EVERYONE offguard...and to make matters worse he did it infront of two of my other friends almost taking one of them with him.
X acting is a very taxing job, not taxing in how my job or your job or any regular job is taxing but it takes a toll being someone else all day, it's emotionally draining and then if you're successful you're hounded by the fucking paparazzi. So Heath was wealthy and successful but have you ever heard "you can't buy happiness".....think it over big guy
Re: Heath Ledger found dead
Money can't buy happiness? Have you every heard of oxycotin, steak, and beer?

...you know what I mean buddy. Having a sense of worth beyond a dollar sign a sense of worth in yourself as a person is an accomplishment in itself some days

Hey I know what you mean.
Re: Heath Ledger found dead
I've been almost dead broke, living with a friend in his parents garage eating nothing but cookies for about 3 months cookies only no milk and I had bills, expenses and problems.
I've managed to turn my life around and move forward I now do very well for myself I accomplished one of my dreams which was to do television I go where I want and when I want. I go to any boxing event that I want and live it up and I continue to strive I have MORE bills, MORE expenses and MORE problems.
We are humans BUT we tend to forget that in reality we are creatures our thoughts and feelings tend to change from time to time.
Today I'm happy, tommorrow I wake up for some strange reason I'm in not soo good of mood.
I get to work and some cock sucker doesn't fucken see Management on the parking space and still parks there my ass has to park down the street. But then as I'm at work I open my e-mail and my girl sent me a message letting me know we're gonna hit up a club on the weekend so it's on and poppin' suddenly I'm cool now I'm not upset anymore......
I come home later on that day and my aunt calls me that one of my cousins got into some trouble now I feel down, then I call my grandma and shes not getting any younger now I'm fucken sad and almost in tears. Right before I go to bed my girl calls me up or comes by and we talk and she spends the night now I'm happy.
Lifes a rollercoaster ride, our thoughts, feelings and emotions tend to change daily on certain things.
Everyday life can become too much for some now imagine adding money, fame and everything else that comes along with being a celebrity can just over flow your mind, heart & soul.
Peace, Love & Respect,
Mick :)
Re: Heath Ledger found dead
I dont think he commited suicide, it was probably accidental, maybe a lil to loosen him up before the masseuse got there. How depressed could you be when your about to get a massage?
Re: Heath Ledger found dead
Grab a large chunk of cheese,some strawberries,and a really good beer,now go climb a mountain.
As you sit there stairing out across what seems like eternity,sweating like a pig,gasping in the thin air,everything will swim in to view
Once that happens,take a really good bite of the cheese,I recomend Bleu(but hey thats me)savour it,now take a slow bite of the strawberry,really take the time to savour it as well,then take a swig of the micro brew you brought with you
Life is meant to be lived,how you can avoid it with all the means on earth to do it with,is beyond me

Good to see that mountaineering doesn't just affect me that way. A day of walking away from most people is ace for clearing one's head and putting things in perspective.

Ive done a ton of caving,a funny exchange from a cave in Tennessee
when I balked at a climb down
Jeff"I see he has a healthy respect for heights"
Me"Naw,Im fine with heights,its depths I worry about.I can stay up here all day,I just dont want to end up down there in a hurry"
