What's the difference between Christopher Reeve & O.J. Simpson? O.J.'s gonna walk. Ahh 1995. Simpler times. Simpler, super offensive times.
stupidbrokenme
Wish I had a Robin Williams for my accident.
furriephillips
He did some post-accident acting in Smallville, as Dr. Swann, which made me cry.

I just want anyone who considers suicide to remember how great Robin made other people feel. Your life matters. Hotline: 1-800-273-8255

I miss Robin Williams
daveeeeeeed
Skippity doo wop, uh Christopher Reeves!
TheManInTheWall
Sad beeping noise
HexiHamaski
I dont like that he did it, but if i was suffering from what he was, i'd have killed myself too.
LargeVarge
What's the opposite of Christopher Reeves? Christopher Walken......I'm sorry it's a bad joke don't take it too seriously.
toxcrusadr
At first I thought "Why is Robin Williams kissing a rubber head?"
BadamWarlock
Apologize to Superman.
MainManMisterMxyzptlk
Robin was the best of us. Maybe not in real life every day, but in the life we all wish we could be. To me, that's something to aspire to.
Szechuanian
Oh, Robin...
TemptedByApples
This made me so happy at first and then sad at the end when I realized they're both gone.
TygrF
They were friends since they met at Julliard in 1973.
pinkblue
It’s heartbreaking to me that robin can make other feels good and happy about themselves, but not for him. Depression sucks and took a goody
threeblackkittens
It wasn't just depression. He had severe terminal dementia. He was losing his mind, literally. There was no hope of getting better for him.
pinkblue
That I didn’t know... everyone kept saying it was just one thing, so I assumed
threeblackkittens
Yeah, it's really sad but given the symptoms and long term effects of his illness I don't really blame him.

Loved RW! Unfortunately, it wasn’t just OK for him, his wife died with 18 months from cancer, leaving their 11 year old son an orphan. Damn!
PardusXY
Luckily he had two siblings.
DickPicEnthusiast
That woman sure was dealt a shit hand. But judging by how both of them carried on, I'm sure the kid is just as strong, and has the memory >
DickPicEnthusiast
> of so much strength and love to tide him over.
SamArt53
Yeah, lung cancer and never smoked. I used to wonder if I’d get it from a couple years of restaurant /bar work in the early 1970s.

Christopher Reeves is why I won’t get on a horse
aselleus
My aunt broke her neck the same way Christopher Reeves did. Fortunately for her she didn't end up paralyzed. (In summary: horses scare me)
MajorPubes
Glad your aunt is ok, relatively speaking
demonhawk
(In Morgan Freeman's voice) Sadly, for Christopher Reeves everything was not okay.

As per hospital rules Mr Williams was forced to give that exam. The walls were spongy... like a twinkie. Like a twinkie.

He lived his life to the fullest and was happy. I'd say it was okay. Some people who aren't in a wheel chair can't do that.
DickPicEnthusiast
He learned to deal with the hand he was dealt. He also got tons of support from the people who loved him. Maybe okay is not the word, but >
DickPicEnthusiast
> damn if he didn't ace it. He may not have walked again, but he did make the most of what he had, and helped tons of people in the process.
Heavenissize17socks
Most.
BongoSchlongo
I remember the day he died, I cried like a little girl. He IS Superman, the only one.
kinokou
Same. Wont forget the day, it was my birthday.
LiamKnessah
I'm so sorry to hear that. It was a very sad day. The only celebrity I have cried over.
IHaveABunchOfBoobyImagez
HE DIED?!?!?!
Improbabilitydrive42
I was on a flight back from LA, taken a pic of his star on the walk of fame day before & bawled my eyes out on the flight home I still cry
freiman
Died looking like Lex Luthor though
Sapherno11
I can't agree more. I can't watch Superman movies now..Because Christopher Reeves is always the only one I can see as Superman.
Chrisbrd
Robin Williams is Superman??
corbynDallas
Of course
apocalypticat
Yes.
ovelanimimerkki
Every time I read about Robin Williams being a good guy I get sad, because he was able to make everyone else but himself feel better.
johnnypickles
probably because he knew he was a joke theft

HiImChrisWilsonFromGrindingGearGames
maybe he sacrificed his own happiness so everyone else could feel better ?

He even made a gorilla happy. And then the gorilla cried when it heard that he died.

Fwik he got diagnosed with incurable cancer and booed out. Can't blame him I would so the same.

I knew two people just like him, always positive, willing to help people, and successful. Both took their own lives.
daggleshire
Me too. My friend in high school was always the funniest guy, he took his life about 9 years ago. :(
masterchiefan
And we should never forget this, for we are their Robin and it'd hurt just as much if they lost us.

Here in Finland, the news headlines following Robins death provided a sad, tear filled laugh https://www.is.fi/viihde/art-2000000215799.html
Paasimus
why? The term "läppävika" that means cardial valve failure, uses the word, läppä (flap) and vika (failure) but läppä also means joke.

Welcome to depression.

He had much more than depression.

That means he has a high score in the disability Olympics.

Belated welcome, then. The rest of us were too busy inside our own heads to notice you come in, sorry.

Talk to a therapist? Doesn't have to be shitty
ShrubNinja
Talking to a therapist and exercising more has done wonders for me. Whatever you do, don't just sit at home all day. Go do something, (1)
ShrubNinja
even if it's by yourself. Go to the mall, see a movie, take a walk. It helps so much. (2)
brushaka
Remember suicide is a permanent solution for temporary problems, still sucks to know I heard that quote from him
HexiHamaski
"for those caring for victims, the best strategy is benign neglect" i'd rather my loved one kill themselves than have to watch them go there
deots1
Robin had dementia, which is a terminal disease. And one that progresses in the worst way imaginable. That was no temporary problem.
alisongrace5656
Sometimes, I think RW did the right thing. He didn't want the world to see him deteriorate.

As someone who suffers from depression, I have yet to see this temporary that you speak of.
alisongrace5656
Me too my friend, me too. Depression is forever a bitch.
HisDudness
This. I understand the sentiment of the statement, but it makes no sense when you realize plenty of us will never get better.
duffamongus
It's called contrived platitudes.
Gato1980
He was misdiagnosed with Parkinson's, when it was actually Lewy body dementia. His doctor said this contributed to his depression.
tomsrhinoplasty
I work with Lewy-body dementia patients and it truly is an awful disease. I hope someone dumps me off a cliff if I ever get like that.

That was heart wrenching.
Buzzedkatana
Thank you
superanth
Reading this I better understand why he did what he did.
kcrvoxtano
That was my goal!
srsfaceI8C
Lewy Body Dementia is no joke. Look it up sometime if you want to feel really sad about the hardships some people have to face.
kojenk
He dealt with his issues and depression all his life but in the face of what was about to happen? With no hope? That disease is terrifying.
kojenk
Its symptoms list off like something eldritch monstrosities do to people in lovecraft and other similar books.
Ryebread91
So loss of memory combined with hallucinations and lack of understanding and reasoning?
kojenk
Shit makes alzhiemers look lite. Not just memory loss but personality devastation and intense fucking mind warping. Nightmarish.
Ryebread91
Personality devastation being you kinda lose your character? All I could understand on the wiki said moodswings and depression
SilveringArt
knowing this now, I think I understand why he went on his own terms. No one should live out their last days or years with that torture.
Teasaurus
Yeah, alot of us are like that. But it feels nice helping others, so that numbs the pain.
SDoneshot
For only so long...
Exquisitine
I disagree.
HandsomeJackBlack
He had dementia though. It wasn't just the depression catching up to him
ChuckTingleBattlesTheAssGoblinsofAuschwitz
I'd opt out as well if I were a comedic genius with dementia and depression. That's no way to live.
TacoYeti
Us would imply you are like that. Which you most certainly are not after this dreary ass comment
TacoYeti
Doubt it kids
HandsomeJackBlack
And Robin Williams was never serious?
SirDrizzlytheBear
Nobody is obligated to be funny 24/7. You can't make that assumption off of a comment.
Teasaurus
If you're wondering if I am "like that," yes, I am. Don't assume, it makes an ass out of you and... well, just you. I'm not always uplifting
TacoYeti
I just don't think so
rltoms949
You're a fuckin' asshole, aye.
TacoYeti
Yes I am and your right there with me
ThadSupersperm
People like you are a reason why people with depression don't feel like they can talk about it
TacoYeti
Really? Thats all atleast half of the posts and comments on here talk about.
Monka42
Excuse me? Who are you to dictate his feelings? This is the reason us happy people don't want to fucking talk about our feelings everybody1/
TacoYeti
Your excused
Monka42
Jumps to the conclusion we're attention seekers for the one fucking time we're vocal about it. I teach kids swim lessons at the y and I 2/
Monka42
Struggle with my own death because I could literally drop dead any day. People like you make it hard for me to step out of the happy zone.
IfYouAreReadingThisILoveYou
There's a difference between knowing how to make others feel better while suffering from depression and being completely unable to talk -
IfYouAreReadingThisILoveYou
About depression because you think everyone will hate you for suffering from it.
TacoYeti
And aslo from talking about it to include yourself in a group that your really not in.
