RIP Chris Cornell (Soundgarden/Audioslave)

Wow. Thanks for your thoughts, deadguy.

I am completely conflicted with regards to people that kill themselves.

On one hand, i look at them (people that go through with this) as very weak, very selfish and did not bother to cope with a thing on this planet. just pathetic to all those that grind through this pit of shit.

and in opposition, i feel bad at the tolls of life were so overwhelming and spirtually congestive that ending their life was a completely necessity.

Fuck it, This was a grown ass man, he threw his own coins in the toll meter and crossed this bridge. Hopefully he arrived at a good place with everything. more power to him.

I read that he struggled with anxiety and depression since his teenage years.

I can relate to a lot of that.

Life can be a real bitch sometimes.

People who cope with anxiety/depression throughout their lives are far from weak. People who contemplate suicide are also far from being selfish or cowardly. More often than not, they believe that they’re being a burden to those around them and that they’re doing everyone a favor by taking their own lives. The irony is that they do the exact opposite and hurt the ones who truly love them.

Anyone who thinks that someone who suffers from depression is weak obviously hasn’t been in that state of mind (nor knows anyone who has these issues) and should kindly keep those opinions to themselves. It’s easy to brush off something you don’t get.

No people before they kill themselves should know there are people will have an opinion, i mean they certainly cannot have this info after the fact now can they?

Again, Cornell had his big boy shoes on then he did this, more power to him.

Goddamn, here I am giving props to and agreeing with Loser_Town of all people.

Well said, Dude.

Well put…

Antidepressants can really mess with you. When I would get my prescriptions, i’d almost always get a paper telling me the risks of suicidal thoughts, etc. I never had any. Some of these pills might make you more depressed than you were before, which ended up happening to me. I would miss a dosage one day and somehow feel great. Much better than the days I would remember taking it. Eventually, I quit. Good fucking riddance. I still struggle from time to time, but it’s much better off without.

I don’t get how you can take too much of it. When I did (accidentally), it would affect me more in a way of just feeling really weird, in a buzz kind of way.

Still, it’s a real bummer to see him go out that way.

tmz is now reporting he had track marks on his arms. I kinda figured. the one extra ativan pill didn’t make sense.

Were they fresh and not scars from when he was a junkie?

That’s unfortunate.

I am calling shananaghans…
If you have ran your course on earth then your time is up. Congrats you have made it to the finish line.
It really doesnt matter how you got there…suicide, war, overdose, ran over by a cow, cancer, old age or via abortion…point is you are there! made it to the end!
So now your struggle is done, relax. thank you.

Turns out, the track marks were 4 needle marks that the EMT actually did upon arriving to the scene. They administered Narcan, thinking it was an opiate overdose. So, at least he wasn’t on the hard stuff, but it’s obvious by what was in his system this wasn’t auto-erotic asphyxiation. He was on some heavy stuff, and the wrong amounts- too much- at that.

he doesnt care about our questions of why or what his issues were, he found his way out and he didnt think to take you with him. sounds cold but it also sounds like he was victorious with his decisions. it is just one of many events in his live. embrace what you can. everyone did a great job caring him to the finish line, he got quite a trophy a hollywood forever, go check it out.

I just read the guy from Linkin Park just hanged himself…

Yeah, and it’s apparently Chris Cornell’s birthday today.

Strange.

maybe, like, the guy from staind will kill himself on chester bennington’s birthday.

This is incredibly sad and tragic. He leaves behind six children.

I recall an interview where credited Ministry and Depeche Mode as musical inspirations to him growing up.
