We See It Too Late - Robin Williams On The Fragile Meaning Of Life
A touching and powerful speech from actor and comedian Robin Williams (1951 - 2014) on the meaning of life. A moment to remember his little spark of madness.
“I try to make sense of things. Which is why, I guess, I believe in destiny. There must be a reason that I am as I am. There must be.”
- Robin Williams

"I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up alone, it's not... the worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone". Robin Williams
So true sometimes I feel like goals and how to go about reaching them couldn't be further apart
So profound Only my family makes me less so.
Or make you wish you were alone because of your shame
Yeah, I totally get that.
This is a line from a movie Robin did. Not a quote from Robin himself.
“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know absolutely nothing about. Be kind. Always.” -Robin Williams
Absolutely this.

Robin Williams was a GIFT to humanity. I will never, ever forget him.
Robin who. Oh yeah, him
You need to broaden your horizons.

@@battle_promaster3631 My comment was directed at karin, not you.
Jesus Christ was a gift to humanity.. Robin Williams was a quitter who took his own life instead of trusting God.. You won't learn anything worthwhile from that guy
He wore his pain like a badge of honor and in the end it was too much. We all miss you Robin.
no, it was the instance where he realizes the dementia is getting worse so he hurried back home and ingested the pills
He killed himself depsite the pain he knew that would inflict on those who loved him. Selfish.

Well said!
Yep, there’s probably some truth in that
Thats so true 100% am like that myself..X
SO TRUE 😑
The world would be a better place with more people like him. Selfless, intelligent, transparent, empathetic and good heart. I hope he's in a better place
I hope that he is in a better place too❤❤❤
He is in a better place- the cosmotic land of NO PAIN.
@@dealerdave69 "And that's the way it is." WALTER CRONKITE
He is now a star in the night sky. I feel like when people die the become a star in the sky thats why there is so many.
The problem is that we suffer more when we feel everything around us. It enables us to give ourselves up until there is no spark left
I lost my 13-year-old daughter to suicide six months ago. Needless to say, things have been a nightmare ever since. As a means of self-therapy and hopes of helping people, I started creating videos in which I hike through nature and narrate my journey with grief. It's so important that we talk about it. It's a difficult, ugly part of life that our society tries to just pretend doesn't exist. Thank you for making content like this to try and improve the narrative and help others who are struggling.
Life is pointless, a absolute pointless horror trip!
I'm sorry for all of your pain
@@patriciavandevelde5469 I used to think this. I now have a son and that is my point.. to some point you are correct. But while I am alive and he is alive.. my point is to just be there for this pointless trip
Sorry for your loss.
@@michaelmorris9575bingo 💯
We miss you Robin, you were a shining light in a dimming world.
Yes he sure was
I can't believe it's been seven years already. Feels like yesterday 😞
I miss him still but so grateful for the laughs, lessons, love, light & memories
Suicides are destined for hell from what I understand. It's a sad shame. I hope God has mercy on him.
@@razial5745 The poor man suffered from a horrible type of dementia, and he didn't even know it. I don't believe God would be so cruel.
The sad thing is nobody ever really knows how much someone else is hurting. We could be standing next to someone who is completely broken, and we wouldn't even know it. RIP Robin Williams.
Williams did not commit suicide because he was "depressed" or "sad". He had 2 specific, brain-degenerating diseases leading up to his death: Parkinson's disease and Lewy Body Dementia. It was agony and he suffered from terrifying hallucinations. His brain was literally misrepresenting reality to him by the time he killed himself. His brain was deteriorating and as his wife has said, at the time he killed himself, Lewy Body Dementia could have been "telling" him anything to lead him to do it - or he simply couldn't handle the torture of it anymore. He was not "sad" - his brain was literally falling apart. His wife said that leading up to the time they found him, his brain was making him see literal monsters crawl up from the floor to kill him. He died terrified, hallucinating and in agony. Not "depression". I know it's a lot easier for people to think he was just "sad" - but that's not what happened. His brain was eating itself from two degenerative diseases.
SO, SO TRUE!
People dont understand that comedians for the most part arent happy people they are sad lonely people they find away to come out of a dark place through comedy
@@redadamearth This is was a big misunderstanding most people think he died because of depression involving cocaine and alcohol. The fact that your brain can switch up on you like that is crazy.
@@ricardodelacrvz1400 crazy is a delicate word- it can happen to anyone ✌️
"I don't know how much value I have in this universe, but I do know i made a few people happier than they would of been without me, and as long as I know that. I'm as rich as I ever need to be" , Robin williams
Hard to believe we have been without his laughter and wisdom for now going on 10 years. His comedy got me through some dark times in my life.
❤
In my 75 years, I believe the death of Robin to be one of the most devestating things to occur. I hope the world always remembers and misses him.
I feel the same way. I think about him often. His passing makes no sense.
Stay Strong, Fred.
In 75 years worth of watching fucked up shit happen every single day Robin's death is top of the list!?!?🤔🤦🤡
@@sarahelmore3147 that's how impactful Williams was to him. And just how important Williams was. Says a lot, huh.
You are the same age as my mom...not quite as old as my father at 83, but a magical thing happens when you pass a certain threshold we all become peers. My parents introduced me to Robin in the 70s, coming off of happy days...I was a wee child then, X-gen is what you'd call me, but I still had time to grow up with him and look at him as a father figure, through pop eye to the world according to garp.....to everything...he touched this kid in the 70s to now a middle aged adult in current times and I will never forget him
My heart broke when he died. He was too good for this world. Such a kind, gentle, loving man. I hope he has found peace.
peace is inside everyone. God put it there
No one is good but God!
@@brandonow82 inappropriate and taken out of context. God is perfect people are not but they can still be considered good or acceptable
Couldn’t agree more , kindness gentleness and above all lovingness cost nothing but will enrich your life . More importantly it will enrich those around you .
I don’t believe in god , I hope those that do take strength from it . It’s just a personal thing . I put all my faith in to my wife and 2 children. I also try and be the kindest version of me I can be .. I don’t need a god to do that I just need a soul
What an amazing soul, your still making me smile in 2024.
*2024
@frankieperez2404 lol the ironc thing is I pulled someone up for the same thing 😂 🤣 😅
Once in a while we need someone like Robin Williams to remind us that magical things happen when you truly love the human race.
He never sat at my table and shared a meal, yet he feels like family. Good God, I miss him so much, it hurts.
He is here with us. You will see him soon. Yes, he is alive
I wish he had randomly dialed a number and got me......I would have helped him. 😥
@@spotlightofficial788 IF WANNA GET DOWN.. down on the ground... Song should be, IF YOU WANNA GET EARLY PARKINSON'S AND DIE SHAKING ON THE FLOOR.. COCAINE!! Live fast, die young and burn up into a phoenix. that's what he did. He never hid his cocaine addiction. And there are plenty of studies that link cocaine and Parkinson's disease. So no my friend, you probably couldn't have done anything for a 63 year old life time alcoholic and cocaine addict but enjoy what he put out into the universe.
@@chrischris5510 Interesting comment. He was friends with Christopher Reeves and saw what happened to him and Reeve's strong spirit. I didn't think he was still a cocaine addict at 63 and he presumably clean---maybe not, maybe he relapsed? Is that what you're saying? Don't assume RW knew the connection between cocaine and parkinsons. RW never struck me as truly self destructive. Just the opposite really. I think he was so sad and that's partly why he was the clown. I have seem people completely ignore RW serious side in interviews and just wanted him to be funny ALL THE TIME. Like Oprah or almost anyone who interviewed him. It's like only a few people closest to him really knew him or saw who he really was. That's sad.
@@chrischris5510 Compassion comes to mind. But thanks for the reality check.
Robins passing still hurts.. he was a one that will NEVER be replaced!
Agree. Him and Steve Irwin to me can never be replaced.
Amen, yes indeed....... It sure does!! I think it will hurt.......forever...
I met him once in the early 80's. Our store didn't have what he was looking for, even then he was ahead of his time. But we had a nice chat, he seemed like a nice man. But then, while I was ringing up his purchase, he began to spontaneously perform with funny noises, silly voices and rapid fire jokes. I never asked for autograph because I wouldn't want people to bother me if I were recognizable. I wish I'd told him that he was good enough just the way he was. I miss him, and my life has so many synchronicities with his its quite ridiculous. My co-workers told me he came back in a couple of weeks later when I wasn't working. I'll never know why. Wish I had time to talk to him more
✌\m/✌
Dec2021, sure need him
I never thought that one "stranger" could affect me so much. This man will always have a very large place in my heart and I'll miss him. Insane that he left us that long ago already, still bring tears when i see videos like this of him.
What an absolute tragedy, not so much this beautiful man’s death but the realisation of not enough people realising just how profoundly deep this specific human being was …. A benevolent caring man mostly known for his comedy yet not known for the intricate messages of humanitarian of which he was . You will rest in peace Robin , for you did in life ❤
Beautifully said
There are people in this world who are “. beings of light”. Robin Williams is one of those people.
I am so glad you didn't say was even though you could have.
Only twice in my life have I ever seen an orb of light in the dark. The first time was when I turned to God in a moment of great fear. That amazing orb helped me get through my ordeal, and the next time was nearly a year later when I was watching Robin in Peter Pan. I thought to pray for him and asked God to forgive him if he ever did anything wrong, to let him be in heaven. I then said thank you to him for being the first time in my life where I believed in magic. And at that very moment, it came again. Idk if it was an Angel, or maybe his soul, or just an acknowledgement. But it seems to me like he's okay, and in a much better place.
@@narsakucanada154 Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Undoubtedly. He was light and love, and he was the friend we never got to meet. "Oh Captain! My Captain!"💔~APRIL LIPKE
We are all beings of light. The light lives inside of us, but we know it not..
We all love him, and we all miss him.... and there will never be another Robin Williams.
nope, we are all unique.
He was a legend
Indeed
Such a fantastic Human being🌹
I hope for the sake of the world soul that you are wrong, because we need a 'Robin Williams' or 3, more so now then ever before. Actually Gabriel Iglesias (and others) goes a fair way to filling that role now that I think about it. He might not be as manic as Robin was, but he makes the day better, just by listening to one of his sets.
Robin Williams had the most moving philosophy of any comedian on Earth. Fuck I miss him.
Mr Williams had a profound sadness behind his kind blue eyes, even at his most hilarious, it was always there, the pathos that we as humans share, humour, after all, at its most honest, comes from pain. Williams was an overseer of comedy at its most divine and we are all the better for having glimpsed his genius, RIP MR. Williams.
Channeling is what I believe happens when I open myself to give
Well said!
I absolutely love this comment.
❤❤❤❤❤
I love this!
No performer's passing has ever left such a void in the familiar universe as Robin Williams. His career represented a group of elements on the periodic table of our imagination. I will never feel a sense of loss for a complete stranger so familiar as Robin. You were dearly loved.
Wow, what a wonderful comment you wrote
Wow! I totally feel that same way it’s like I knew him without meeting him😟
I love your words here
@@lillymay9488 You said it. I'm 51 so I was there from Mork & Mindy onward, and it was like losing a friend.
My dad passed away in 2014 & a few months later Robin passed away...my heart broke for the man that was my dad & for the man I grew up watching as a kid that always made me laugh when I was having a bad day. Robin's death made me realize that the world will never be the same. I don't usually cry over people I don't know, but I did for Robin. I felt that void too. We love you Robin Williams. May you find peace!💜
He is greatly missed. What a wonderful human being he was.
robin was a great man. i met him in vancouver, bc canada.He was a good man. life was getting heavy for him. he opened up, he was hurt.we talked. my life was no different. what i regret was that i had go to work, that day i last saw Robin. something inside was not right with me. then got some bad news, my freind is gone. i feel so guilty.. i always wonder if. i stayed he would be beside me and tell stories of life, we were so similar i miss you so much my freind. i will always be there for you, my best freind. i will see you soon.
One of the greatest men to ever bless this earth. RIP 🙏
100%
for me, it was my father, Robin was weak
angel dear, when you are gods light, it because god makes you an angel...men cannot know gods light unless they have already been to heaven once already
or unless they find it along the way
Im him. I feel his heart 🥺💔
I am in my 60’s and I remember seeing Robin Williams when Mork and Mindy aired on TV and seeing his movies throughout my life. It amazes me how deeply sad I felt and cried the day he died. Even today watching his movies when its done and the credits roll by my first thought is how much we all miss him and how the world could use his humor now. Robin thank you for the many years of laughter and insight, may you rest in peace.
DITTO!
@deborahc.. That is beautiful & so true.
Mork from Ork. Thanks for making me smile
Even though you moved in with my highschool crush. Mindy. It's all good I remember belly laughing at your shows and any guests appeardence.
at 70 robin impacted mylife. i put on my checks "it's to Bad that whats right in life is what's left after you do every thing else wrong" hope i got that correct. no one ever got that
Robin Williams was truly a one-of-a-kind talent who could make us laugh until we cried one moment, and then move us to tears the next with his poignant and touching performances. He left behind an incredible legacy that will continue to inspire and entertain generations to come. Thank you for all the laughter and heart, Robin. You will be forever missed.
Robin Williams was an extremely intelligent, kind, creative, and amazing soul. He has made some powerful statements through his parts in movies. In his interviews his personality showed us his love for God, for others, and for life. He made our world a better place.
I developed a deep depression over the pandemic and it never went away. It caused my 8 year relationship to end. I couldnt understand what was going on with me because I could never fully understand how people with mental illness felt. Now that I have experienced the feeling and hit rock bottom. I have nothing but sympathy and empathy for everyone struggling in life. R.I.P Mr. Robin Williams 😢
You are not alone my Friend , nobody is alone at this Planet. Mork from Ork

It's getting close to 10 years since he passed. Still one of my favorite actors growing up. Miss you Robin.
Is it nearly ten years!? I remember when i heard of his death when i was young and i felt so upset cuz he was the genie of the lamp for me and ever since i heard of his death i wanted to see more of his movies. "the fisher king" being one of my favourites. He was and always will be an inspriational figure for so many people
Same here…
yeah but he didn't end his life, THEY made it look that way cause him and the lead singer of Linkin park were both gonna make public of the pedophilia in Hollywood and they got ended because of it.
🤗💫
Passed?? Oh, you mean when he strangled himself on a doorknob ? Whatever.
He’s one of the reasons I’m still alive and chasing my dreams more persistent than ever before. He’s my absolute hero and his legacy is beyond anything. I think I just wanna say: thank you, mr. Williams. Thank you!
There were low times in my life when he made me laugh when I wanted to cry.God Bless you Robin Williams.❤
He really has one of the kindest faces you’ll ever see

🥰ALWAYS🥰
Those are big facts. He puts a smile on my daughters face as well. I refuse to let the work of this legend die die.
We were fortunate.☺️
☺️YESSS
It’s 2024 and I still miss this man. He gave me a remembrance of childhood due to his movies but he also gave me insight into my adulthood. He comforted me and made me feel less alone. I’ll miss him and his spirit as long as I’m here.
😢I miss the ground breaking characters Robin brought to life. It is true that only the good die young.❤
You made me laugh, cry smile and think all throughout my growing years, and in to my adulthood. Your energy will never be replaced. I hope you found your Venice in your next journey sweet human x x

@@doyoulovehimloretta1607 his energy helped model us, I am sure our energy will find his again. We just need to keep positive and be there for others but above all else, be kind to ourselves. I will never stop trying to find my purpose, just as our sweet Robin never stopped. Stay safe Patty x
This was the first celebrity death that genuinely broke my heart..I loved him and his stand ups were the best ever! RIP Robin!
His death hit home with me.I was taking care my dear husband who also died from Lewy Body Dementia . Heart shredding. Five years and it feels like yesterday. I loved them both, gentle beautiful souls.
Me too!
I actully cried upon hearing of Robin's death, he really did so much for me as I was growing up. The only other celebrity death that affected me was Alex Trebek's. In fact, they both still affect me, as they both have made an impact on my life. Tearing up as I type this...
You were indeed a very deep thinker and soul. You used comedy to spread your message.!
Robin williams, is in heaven, I KNOW HE IS< GOD KNOWS WHOS GOOD>>>YOU THINK GOD WOULDNT HAVE ROBIN THERE....COME ON!
I miss him... I can't stand most actors but I miss this man.
Whoever put this video together, thank you... There will only ever be one Robin Williams and this is a wonderful tribute. 🥰
I met Robin at the back door of The Comedy Store, he was an amazing human being.
your one blessed guy.
Robin Williams passing broke my heart. He was a ball of light that kept on giving. He was a comedic genius and an excellent actor too. I loved him and I miss him sooooo much.

Robin was one of the wisest man walking on the Earth. He did not know it, but he had true wisdom.
I think I started ro cry from the minute I began watching this! The sound of his voice and the words he spoke made me miss him so much. You really don't know what people are going through. You don't know the masks and true performances they are performing to not allow people to know, to not feel ashamed, or to not feel the stigma of trauma or mental health issues, that so many experience in their lives. I am still in shock, so many years later knowing how Robin struggled. I really wish that we paid more attention and not so much ignorance that society still practices today! His legacy is amazing and whether you liked him or not, the talent could never, would never be denied. Robin and I pray and hope for all humanity, that there is another life another place, beyond this world, that happiness and love exist and nothing more! I hope you're existing somewhere happily and know how much you've touched so many lives in the process.
Argh, I sniffled back a tear, it still hurts but man I am happy he was here. A friend of mine just couldn't understand why it was so tough for me when he passed. That one really meant a lot, really...and I had hoped for more, always just a little more, I couldn't get enough of Robin Williams almost no matter what he was doing. There was a kindness, depth and sincerity. Again, I'm so happy he was here, he certainly touched my life profoundly, from childhood and then throughout. I truly don't have so many heroes, giants, but he'd be one. :)
He was such a gift to the world. I can't believe it's been 7 years since he left us. It feels like yesterday.
My goodness 7 years 😔🦋
Tortured souls trying to make others smile and happy. Yet no one knows they need it just as much.

Is so true!!! 💚
He was a once in a lifetime person and the world is less with out him in it ❤
He was an original. His passing was an awakening. Had a huge impact😊😊

I was fortunate to meet Robin Williams while deployed. He came to the Aid Station I worked at and gave a bit of his time as Patch Adams and then as the fun loving and happy self. It is a good memory and I will continue to find joy in it. May he and his family have peace. May we move to a more kind and accepting nation and to a more kind and accepting world. I feel it is worth it.
AMEN BROTHER
I absolutely love Patch Adams. Robin was such a special actor
Oh wow, I was in Iraq in 2011, and I believe someone mentioned he had been there not long before. It would’ve been my dream to meet him in person!
My understanding is that he paid for those trips with his own money, to visit the troops.
✌\m/✌
How eloquent Robin truly was. I first started watching him as an actor when he was in Mork and Mindy. His later work was always inspiring to me. My favorite picture of him was him sitting in front of a statue as a great thinker. Comedians smile for the world and often hide their own pain. If people would listen to this motivational video, they would realize the beauty behind his words. Some of us realize the world is better with laughter and kindness.
Our world was a better place when Robin Williams was in it. He will always be sorely missed by those who appreciated his gifts to us all.
I remember a quote someone once told me and he attributed to Robin.... I use to think loneliness was the saddest thing but I was wrong...it's being surrounded by the ones you love and feeling lonely...
World's Greatest Dad, Robin says something close to that but in character, so not really a quote but a movie line.
@ Donald Dump: Amen. I absolutely concur.
That feeling must be some time of pathological condition. It makes no sense.
@@72seeker72 because the quote is inaccurate
@@72seeker72 no its not..today world is disconnected from the essence of life and love. We constantly battle with our subconscious about the purpose of our life and happiness. Loneliness is deep inside all of us

Not much is as annoying as trolls.
What a complete beautiful man!!! He was so great, loving, giving and a fantastic human being... We miss you so very much!!! Mrs. Doubtfire, Patch Adams, Aladdin, Dead Poets Society, Mork and Mindy etc.... Love you, Robin... ❤️❤️❤️.. 🙏🙏🙏... 😥😥😥... 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️......
Every time I hear this beautiful amazing funny person talk I cry and it makes me sad that he helped so many people to laugh while he himself was in so much torment. I miss him so much he was so funny and I just wanted to hug him at the end and tell him he was loved as well, 😭🥰
Creative people are often incredibly depressed. They have so much to give but are deeply sad. The only reason I’m still here at 38 is because of Robin ❤️
Words don't do it justice to describe the positive impact he has had on others. 💛
So true🌹
Robin Williams was obviously extremely talented and a comedic genius. He was a gift to humanity and a blessing. He is sorely missed 😢. Rip legend. Gone but never forgotten.
What a great human being and in my opinion the GOAT of comedy , RIP Robin xox
Brought tears and laughter. Such an incredible inspiration and light in all our lives ❤ xxx
The thing about life is it's usually the people that we see as "Happy" "Healthy" people or people that just always seem to see the bright side of things are usually going through the darkest times in their life. I speak from experience.
I couldn't agree more.
Likewise
You're damn right ! the expression I really can't bear about people who died by suicide is "I don't understand, he/she had everything to be happy". You NEVER know. Never.
So true !
Agreed
Quite philosophical, Robin. In some of his photos, he had a sad countenance, a sad affect. I'm sorry to learn, after he left us, that he desperately battled depression. Add the Lewy Body Dementia, revealed later as severe brain damage, it's unimaginable what torments he suffered. He was the most brilliant improvisational performer.
I can’t remember where, or exactly when, only that decades ago I read that as a group, comedians are the saddest people on earth. I’ll find something supportive of this, but it likely won’t be the original piece that really struck home and reminded me of my school days, and being the class clown.
Robin Williams encompassed the best traits of humanity. His brilliance & innate ability to touch on the core of humanity, to blend pathos & empathy with sadness, is a very heavy burden to internalize. The World lost an amazing human being when he died 7 years ago. His comedy routines would move me to a flood of tears-often vacillating between laughter & always providing food for thought. I always hoped I would meet him when I ventured into San Francisco from Alameda, CA. I was never blessed enough to get to thank him personally for the kindness, gentleness, compassion & love he brought into our World. I am forever grateful my life-if only through celluloid-was impacted by Robin Williams. May his light & love shine on.
Yes, great

🥰🥰🥰 We miss Robin. I think he would be happy knowing he still makes us smile, just the thought of him. 😊🦋
I don't know how much value I have in this universe, but I do know that I've made a few people happier than they would have been without me. Robin Williams Suffering from mental illness this quote makes me want to continue on with life
I’d like to say to you that you are a great person. No matter what’s been said and done Take care of yourself, you are ok. And the fact you opened up is a great sign you are going to be fine. Please don’t ever give in.
Keep going brother x you've got the world at your feet.
You have strengths you don't know. But from the outside looking in it takes truth and honestly to admit you need help
All everyone's saying here about mental illness is valuable, but no one seems to acknowledge the cause of RW's suicide, which is no sin--particularly in his case. Yes he lived with depression, but would have carried on except for his Lewy body diagnosis, which made him decide not to put his family (and his public) through the end stages of that terrible disease. He was a truly funny, kind, talented, courageous and tenacious (not fragile) person and man.
I cry every time I watch one of his movies because I miss him so much. I admired him and his strength. He holds a special spot in my heart. I hate growing older, because all of my favorite people are dying.
Hi Emily, how are you
I understand how you feel Emily. I hate growing older too (I'm 76). I've lost so many people who were near and dear to me, and it hurts like hell, doesn't it? My most traumatic loss was when my 44 year old nephew hung himself in 2007. He was like a son to me, as I helped my parents raise him. To me, that's the worst part of aging...."all of your favorite people dying". 😢 .
Me too😢

Well said.
RIP to a legend man.
OMG what a pure and gentle soul. Rest in Peace Robin Williams. You are missed down here.
Wow! The hardest thing about depression is trying to get people to understand, and when they don't, it gets harder and makes you more depressed, and what's scary, I suffer from depression too, and I didn't even see it in Robin! The world stood still when his death was announced around the globe! Robin did make an impact in the world, and a part of us died with him. He will be remembered, loved and missed forever. R.I.P. Mr. Robin Williams. 😪
Trust me(even as a stranger) when I say you are far from alone. Keep reaching out, keep sharing because the rest of us who deal with depression need to know that we have friends like you-that we just never met.
Me too man you’re exactly right
@@weedmusicandfood5189 it's worse when you try and talk about it, and they take it lightly like saying... Oh, your just feeling sorry for yourself, or, look at others that have it worse than you, or get over it...ect.ect. that's why people with depression stop talking about it, or stop trying to get help, then they feel even more depressed and alone, which usually ends in suicide. Don't take people's depression lightly, cause you may be hurting them even more than helping them! Weed, you sound like a caring and understanding person, and God bless you.
@@jayceew.rabbit9358 I agree with you completely and thanks for the compliment. I've dealt with it off and on most of my life and for me, being around the right people(even when that may seem limited at times) is a huge step in the right direction. Try to stay focused on your strengths, not your mistakes or off days. Also keep in mind that like one of my mentors always says "Its a moment, not a monument" We all have stuff we wish we could have done better or not done at all but don't let the negative crap and the nay sayers bring you down. They all have their own shit, they just don't have the strength to show it but hopefully some day they will. In the meantime those of us with the disease need to be kind to ourselves and others, even when you have those days where you want to say FTW, and we all do. Be safe brother.
You are so right about feeling even more alone when people don't understand depression. For me, it is almost more painful after I tried to reach out to a Counselor and they didn't care-didn't even TRY! to understand me😥😥😥-and I knew for certain I really was all alone in this great big world. Especially when I called the Suicide Hotlines and they were Mean so Mean! And it's not about Faith-or Religion because you can have that and still when Depression hits it is like an earthquake in your soul. At least for me. I always Loved Robin Williams and "Dead Poets Society"-"Awakenings"-"Goodwill Hunting"-"What Dreams May Come"(I cried through that whole movie it got to me so much. He was that very Special REAL person that I felt he understood my private pain. Like He knew me in a wierd and crazy way- and maybe Robin Williams thought I was okay. That he wouldn't judge me. The way I have been judged SO MANY TIMES-and wrongly. The way I was Observed and Watched for a Reaction by the counselor who told me he had died😥. She wanted me to produce tears on the spot. But like so many other counselors who took all MY words and turned them around and used them as arrows against me-HURTING ME 😥😥😥😥😥 SO BADLY!-She just did not understand. Later she wrote that I was hurting myself when I worked-out and that I had "Suicide ideation"-and that IS FALSE! Working out has been the One Constant that I use to Fight off my Depression. All my Life it has been my private tool that doesn't take a Pill. It's just Me making my Life Work. People can be SO CRUEL! I am sending you some Love and Support💖🌺 in battling your Depression. I understand. I Do. Brave Onward in your own best way ~ It's your Life! Work hard to keep it 💖
Robin Williams went through a lot of dark nights of the soul. he explored places of himself that people aren't willing to go to. He was spiritually brave. And wonderfully talented
Alcohol is a cash cow virtually everywhere in the world; that's why how devastating it is goes unspoken
Robin Williams, you touched so many lives. You are loved and missed!
Robin and Steve Irwin, pretty much the only celebrity deaths that really hit me. Robin was such a open and genuine soul, a beautiful person.
He was such a beautiful soul.
his soul still out there, and here JJ (;
He left a legacy of beautiful memories and inspiring words. As long as we can still reach out and touch these things, he’ll never really be gone.
To see this beautiful man talk is a blessing. May he rest in peace!
@@stephencharles8456 maybe he was I don't know him personally
"I don't know how much value I have in this universe but I do know that I made a few people happier than they would have been without me. As long as I know that, I am as rich as I ever need to be" .... wow.... I love this statement. You are missed kind Sir!
10 years without Robin Williams this year... 10 bloody years .. R.I.P legend
Everyone struggling with mental illness. We got this. Stay strong someone is always listening. You are worthy.
Idk about that. If Robin Williams, God rest his beautiful soul, cannot express how depressed he is and how much he’s hurting, with all his accomplishments and the art of his communication and acting skills, there’s no way in hell anyone would ever listen to me. I have tried to tell all those closest to me, especially my wife, how badly the negative things that she is doing is hurting me. I am not getting across to her. I’m not communicating properly. Because the alternative of she understands but just doesn’t care if I end my life, is too 💔
@@ibewcountry You speaking up now. I am listening. That is the hardest thing to do is speak up. People have issues in their heads that is not always easy to see from the outside. I know that dealing with my own issues. Listen to meditation has been my most helpful. When I think no one is listening to me. I don't know if this helps. It's with the best intentions.
@@ibewcountry just keep speaking out. Be true. I’m there right now. The only way through it is to first be honest with yourself, and genuine to others. You may not find many that understand but they ARE here. Your voice will be heard.
More reasons why we need to support and love one another 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Make this world a better place 🥰
@@didiclaire7466 I agree
I've lived with depression for over 35 years. Robin brought a lot of laughter to a mind riddled with melancholia. I think that's why his death struck me so hard. I miss him.
Stay strong, darling. Your unique, 😍
Stay firm. Do meditations. Sadhu guru' meditation Isha Crea helps me
Absolutely. We lost one of our own. Another team mate who quit… who’s next?
Hugs to you. May you find joy in the moments. ❤️
I too grew up with depression caused by childhood PTSD. Robin never claimed to be the healer. He claimed God as the healer. And he was right. I have recovered from a very traumatic childhood and deep depression by God's grace. Robin knew this. What a prophet he was and how sad many people didn't know it and still don't.
Awh,he was such a deep and beaut😅ful soul taught us so much.
Robin I molded my entire humor around yours ,you helped me through child abuse ,thank you ,I survived robin,I’m 35 now I can help others..you did good ole friend..you did good 😢
How fortunate to have been alive to witness such an extraordinary soul. One special, special, special guy.
@@stephencharles8456 Robin Williams was deeply loved by many of those who actually knew him personally very well. People who are deeply loved in the manner he was are not as you describe. And as for you, I'm thinking it's high time you began tackling your long term anger issues along with any others seriously, and no doubt negatively, affecting your psyche.
still makes me cry, he is a real human being, being human. RIP Robin, we love you.
He was lied to and that's what broke him
brilliant! brilliant. mind to think that every stand-up act and every late night talk show was all freeform. it was no script, no notes. it was just off the top of his head. that is brilliant. I miss him everyday
Yes I love you William 😢
RIP Robin. Missed and loved ever so much
he is absolutely spot on on how fragile life can be!!!❤❤❤
You never know when someone is really hurting. Be that person that really listens, if you haven’t heard from someone, make the effort to get in touch. You never know how much it means to someone. Miss you Robin….
He was and still is one of my childhood heros. He still is such an inspiration to me. I was devastated when I learned about his passing especially with how he went. I and so many others still miss him. RIP Robin, we will always love you.
Me too a lot, foster kid in the 70s and into the 80s mork from ork and he made me laugh when there wasn’t so much to laugh about. I will always be a fan. I cried when I found out he was gone from us.
My mom died when I was 5 I look up his videos to feel. He taught me to feel again after I lost her to cancer and my dad wasn't around. He and he alone. Patch Adams. Taught me you can be happy in sickness.
Exactly ❤
He died due to a form of dementia. Unfortunately he didn’t have a diagnosis until they did an autopsy. He struggled with the behaviours and changes in mood.
i grew up with his movies and now i am 31 years old and i just wish i could of met him he was one of my favorite actors to meet. him in his movies always bring a smile to my face. i want to be an actor some day myself even though i am low autistic I know i can do more. just like Robin Williams i want to make people smile and laugh and do so much more like him in my own way i can.
Some people are like the Stars in the sky. We see them so often but more often we don’t appreciate them . Watch out for them and see their beauty. None of us are here for that long XXX. Hats off to the wonderful Robin Williams.
I can't believe so many years have gone by since he passed, it seems like just yesterday. Beautiful montage of him!
My first movie as a kid I saw with Robin Williams was the movie popeye lol I love this man
What Dreams May Come. Sad but a good flick. By the by as well you look nice in your pic!
How fascinating he is...... you mind if we indulge more on a little conversation?
Iant kno he was dead damn i must be too young
@@stephencharles8456 >this children is a hand. >Hes not even trying anymore.
You can tell by looking at his face and eyes, he was a kind, kind man.
An amazing person. He gave me some of the funniest memories in television. The worst part of life is those who give you your best memories become a memory.
He's gotta be the best stand up comedian. His comedy is quick, sharp and rhythmic
Robin Williams......, One of the "GREATEST THAT EVER LIVED"......!!!!!!!
