Friends tends to disappear when u get depressed. Mine did. Later, when a friend of mine just disappeared from the radar, I called an and text him over 250 times in 3 months before he anwered. I asked where he'd been, and he said he'd been diagnosed w Bipolar disorder, so he had not been able to pick up the phone 'til now. "But", he said to me: "you're the ONLY ONE who's been calling...!"
I applaud you persistence, most people aren’t able to do that. A symptom of mental illness can be isolation, so even if we can’t respond your attempts at contact they still help.
@Sheridan Isashitstain Don't reject yourself. You're just as good as everyone else on the planet. We all have problems and we all screw up and have regrets. Nobody has to be perfect. After all, no one is perfect. Not one. I suspect that you have a lot of family who love you and would miss you. If you are aren't living on the street, why end your life?
@Sheridan Isashitstain when you said "most of us who commit suicide would fade to dust" it seemed as though you were identifying yourself as a person who was one of the people who do that. So I was concerned. Speaking as a person who was (or thought he was?) a Christian for over 20 years, know that if any Christian judges you (or anyone else) they have instantly become NOT a Christian, according to the words of Jesus. Because if a Christian judges another person they have ceased to be followers of his teachings of love compassion acceptance and non-judgement. Jesus said "It is not those who say they are mine who are mine, but those who DO my commands" (which are love and empathy). The people who judge are miserable unhappy unfulfilled people suffering from low self-esteem who are looking for a way to put someone down so they can feel superior for a few moments, but alas... their feelings of low self-esteem will return and they will remember that they believe in their hearts that they are pieces of trash... and they'll go on alert looking for their next innocent victim to attack. I'm glad that you received my message with the positivity it was sent with!
No one talks about mental illness. From the "medical community" down to (ex))friends.It's still a hush hush, scourge. But hey everybody, you're right...I should just get over it.
The first minute and 15 seconds where he talks about how the death of a famous rockstar and a random, ordinary, person are really no different from each other is so true. What a wonderful man.
+Daniel Vitale It's these damn pills that the docs are force feeding people. They alter your sense of reality and turn you into someone you'd never be had you not taken them. I know, I've been there. And yeah "tragic" is the perfect description.
+Michael Ranger I'm sorry for coming across as an ass to you but nevertheless, I did and I apologize man. I'm glad that what you take works for you. I've never suffered from clinical depression but I did have a serious drug addiction in the 90's and I also within the last year have been prescribed pills and they did turn me into a monster. I didn't know myself and the people that know me kept asking me what was wrong with me. Now I see my daughters struggles and it's painful. From reading what you wrote I can tell that you are articulate and you are speaking from experience. I'm very sorry that I came across the way I did. All my best to you brother, and I sincerely mean that. Once again, apologies to you man.
Franco Barron man stay positive, I know it's hard I also struggle with depression but we're all here for a reason and every living thing is a beautiful miracle
Franco Barron Depression runs in my dad's side of the family, been dealing with mines for 11 years so far. It really is hard, I'm with you on that. Lost my job, girlfriend, and self-image. I'm so desperate that I'm looking into trying out acid for the first time. See if I can find something within myself..
Agree 100% My husband on Ativan took his life 1988. I really feel it clouds the judgement and allows yourself to slip in a realm you would not be in if not on Ativan...........
Calling depression "depression" is like calling a heart attack "heartburn". It's an aggressive, violent disorder that should be taken as seriously as ALS or Alzheimer's.
It needs a different name. Normal people who don’t suffer with it relate “Depression” as being sad, depressed temporarily and can’t figure out why a person with depression just can’t “snap back” to their old selves. Perhaps something like “Chronic Endorphin Deficiency Syndrome”. ChEDS.
I agree 100%. Rught now I'm in the worst period of it I've ever experienced. I find my empathy for other peoples situations is hugely heightened. I'm on the verge of tears almost every hour of everyday and anything can set them off. I feel a huge sense of guilt bc my family are worried sick, but I cant seem to get past it. I truely scared for my future, bc I dont know how to fix this. At this point, suicide is not an option. I know all to well what it would do to my family. I've tried almost every SSRI and other anti depressants. Right now I'm on effexor. This sucks so much. Every minute feels like an hour, time goes by so slow. No joy in anything anymore. I truely feel for anyone else who suffers from this and there are so many.
I still haven't gotten over his death. I find myself pulling up footage and songs by him all the time and watching his interviews. I can't seem to get his voice out of my head. Love you Chris 🙋
I feel similar to you do, the pain of the past is ever present. the Day I tried to live is like how I feel a lot of the time when I get depressed. I have lost so many people that I was so close to or close relatives that I didn’t no really know, sometimes I feel guilty having survived them. I lost my dad, who I loved the most and was my step dad and struggled from various addictions , my biological father who was fucked up from the Vietnam war, and my 20 year old son William, who died from leukemia and brain cancer. WTF, sometimes I feel like they should have survived me. I have hope because I have an 18 year old son who is graduating this year and is healthy, smart and wet behind the ears like I was at his age. Please pray for him, his name is Angel.
@@bobbyjwatson2042 you and me are survivors. We must live and live hard on behalf of our fallen comrades. But at the same time always keep these people in our hearts. And also listen to plenty of Chris Cornell. 🙋
I was playing "i am the highway" accoustic version yesterday with my kids, then they asked, daddy why are you crying whats wrong. I said sometimes sweeties, people leave this earth when they are not supposed to. After they went to bed i sobbed for hours until i fell asleep listening to his voice. It will be a very long time before this passes. Rest with Angels Chris. I miss you so much already...
I do feel the very same crying over him and trying to explain to my little daughter. Feelings of sorrow, waste and wrongfulness, I just can't get over. I hardly ever feel this way when a person I didn't know personally passes away, but this is far way different. It is simply not right. If only someone could have helped him. Rest in peace, dear Chris, I will pray for you.
Right there with you. I didn't take his passing well at all. Still struggle with it. Out of all the vocalists that helped define my youth, he was always number one. His voice felt like home. RIP Chris 😔
Gehn Saavedro That should be a more popular opinion. Everyone I know who suffers from depression/addiction felt like a burden as children rather than wanted/validated. It would make a lot of sense as to why they all gravitated towards substances for solace. Also maybe why they have difficulty loving/being loved.
@@sohimashah5098 Yeah, addiction starts almost like a love affair, it's always there for you to comfort you and makes you feel better. It slowly turns into the burden like you say, but by that point it's like a bad romance that you know is extremely healthy but it's become such an ingrained pattern by that point that it's hard to break free from it. Dangerous, slippery slope. Find some real support from people that care about you, even if you don't understand why they care, and allow them to demand better from you. No one wants to be addicted, so do actions that are in line with what you want in your heart, not whatever destructive crap you're stupid brain is telling you to do
The part where he talks about expecting things from himself and trying to meet those expectations, I think many with anxiety and depression can relate to that. We oftentimes expect too much of ourselves and might even expect perfection, and we become frustrated and unhappy with ourselves, and we feel we're never really enough or perfect enough or good enough. Its in trying to meet those expectations from ourselves that we become more depressed. We need to just relax as best we can, and be happy with ourselves and realize we dont need be perfect to be loved. We only need to be ourselves, and be ok with the fact that some days we wont feel so great. Dont beat yourself up over it.
MusicLova Especially with A Evil Satanist Witch Wife. Telling you that and treating you like a dog. Justice for Chris Cornell. Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend.
As a former comedian i rank this comment at the top. The only person we can never satisfy is ourselves and we can't seem to get it through our heads that its ok not to be perfect everyday.
Rest in paradise Chris. I remember listening to Black Hole Sun everyday after school. Chris saved me from destroying myself from crippling depression. I can’t thank you enough Chris. Miss you brother. No one sings like you anymore.
The interviewer does not seem to get it. "You need to surround yourself with people" maybe true, but when depression takes over we just want to be alone. It's so sad to see CC talking about it. He was such a caring and thoughtful person. 😞
So true, he doesn't get it. A majority of the world doesn't, that's why resources generally suck. Kinda tough to "surround yourself with people" when you are immobilized with every ounce of energy going to keeping yourself alive. It's horrendous.
Completely agree. When life has been nothing but a waking nightmare and you’re just trying to navigate through it, the last thing you want to do is surround yourself with people.
Damn!!! “Just like Scott Weiland’s Mother is crying, there are mother crying that have lost their sun that are construction workers, mechanics, literally anything else....”. That hit me hard. Very deep in the way Chris put that together.
Chris and Chester`s suicides really hit me as a fan of many years I was crushed , I suffer from depression and anxiety and could not understand why somebody so talented and gifted with a beautiful family would take their own life and at the time I thought I would have no chance against my demons if these guys end it . But this interview shows rock stars are human like everyone else and have their own problems. With depression and anxiety I get so tired of battling it and my demons . RIP Chris . The sun is out so I'm going for a long walk , that helps blow those fucking demons away .
Aytch and Gigi I always was relatable to Chris, through and through and there's no way a genuine guy could hang himself let alone take one of his children out of the will. Chris mentally seems strong, he wouldn't take his own life unless some drugs were mixed. The band did have something about it because they didn't notice how torn up Chris looked on stage and didn't say anything. How sad.
Aytch and Gigi let's hope we get justice sooner than later. As a light worker in spirituality, I was told through tarot he was blackmailed by a company/someone, who was inconsiderate, rude, so much to the point where it bothered Chris. Who ever it was, they tore him up and got away with it when he begged them not to.
maybe this will help.............THEY WERE BOTH .......MURDERED. PEROD..DOT. Courtney Love was at Chris Cornell's funeral...Does that open your eyes now.? You may be depressed, (no disrespect fellow human being ) but you are NOT stupid.
I too experienced the dark side and it took me 13 years to get out of it. It is a well known fact that depressives self medicate, and I did too. I can only describe real depression as being sucked into a vortex of abject misery, and every time you try to get out of that vortex you are sucked deeper in. I am so very sorry Chris did not make it. I loved his music, his voice. RIP.
Completely feel that. I felt it was like being in quicksand without energy to even try to escape. An awful, hopelessness and lack of connection to life and anyone or anything in it. I didn't seek help or talk about either which added to feeling more isolated. It also took me a very long time to get back some sense of purpose in life and self. I'm not as vibrant a person I was b4 going into it, but I'm OK. What it has give me is the certainty that, no matter what I face in life, nothing can be as bad and nothing will keep me down. Glad you made it out too!!
Thanks for sharing. "If there's anything to learn from it, it's that there is no type of person, location - there is no categorization of person, man or woman, that you can be that is going to be immune to a lot of these things: substance abuse, mental illness, behavioral problems. It can affect anybody and everybody."
It can affect anybody anywhere but there is no denying that perhaps as a port city or for whatever reason.. hard drugs were rampant and very easily accessible in Seattle during the grunge era in the music scene. Some musicians in Seattle saw so many of their musician friends die (including some famous and semi-famous) that they decided to move away permanently from that location in order to not potentially fall into the same fate. I doubt people like construction workers working in various areas of the U.S. were having to pick up and move to a different location because so many fellow construction workers were dropping dead of heroin use etc.. There WAS a particular problem/epidemic of people living in Seattle, including musicians, who were dropping like flies during that period. Why Chris would deflect from this I don't know. Then again, he was married to Susan Silver, a woman who was fully aware as an insider/handler. I am also not convinced as of yet that Chris's death was a suicide, I have not decided either way according to the evidence, there are things that don't seem to add up, but I am completely convinced that Kurt Cobain was murdered, there is no logical or feasible way possible that he could have pulled that trigger. He could have injected himself with a massive overdose of heroin, that is possible, but there is NO WAY that, with the amount in his system, he could have then shot himself. Someone else shot him in the head and since that is the case it makes how the overdose happened extremely suspect as well (someone wanted him to overdose). As a side note....just recently I was reading about Layne Staley and how he gave Kurt a lift and he said Kurt was beaming the whole time about his daughter, going into detail about her and he was just so happy talking about everything about her, that was approx. three months before his alleged suicide. Kurt's death did not make sense to Layne either.
Man oh man, what a great loss. It's hard to believe he's gone. Who knows what went on in his mind, what he felt. My thoughts, as anyone else's who loved this guy and his legacy, go out to those he left behind, his family and closest friends. RIP.
I guess you're like all the rest , no smarter than the cattle getting prodded to the slaughter house. I say that because you, like all the other people commenting here , sharing your grief, and confusion over why Chris would ever do something so horrific, or what could have been going on in his head,..bla bla bla..I will tell you what was going on in his head, unless this part of the story is a complete fabrication as well.. " Chris called his body guard ,(guy by the name of Martin Kirsten, now missing action , LIKE A VAPOR ... no one knows where he is.) and asked him if he could come and fix his Apple TV. Hmmm should we check the surveillance camera's outside of Chris's room? or in the entire hotel for that matter? Gee boss ,..I guess we should Huh? No sign of Chris Cornell ANYWHERE.. not coming in the hotel or to his room... no ambulence to take Chris to the morgue or to the hospital. No NOT ONE VIDEO OF CHRIS CORNELL AFTER THE CONCERT. We live in a big brother society,, freaking camera's EVERY WHERE!!!!!! SOOOO.... WHERE IS HE? THAT IS ONE OF MANY MANY INCONSISTANCIES.. BUT i guess that is besides the point because his wife said bla bla bla abd everybody seems to believe her even when it is a physical impossibility to hang yourself with this flimsy exercise band!!!! the sad part of it all, is that everyone has taken her word for it, and not even looking at the lies as they slap across your face and into some sort of blind submission. What is going on in this world we live in today ? No body questions blatant , flat out impossibilities anymore? It's like when your parents told you If your friend jumped off a bridge would you? ..... So anyway back to another part of the story that makes no freakin sense....WHY would Chris call his body guard to come help him with his apple TV ,.....( if he was planning on hanging himself with a red exercise band that is only capable of withstanding 20 lbs of pressure? ) Chris was 6 '2 and weighed 180 freaking lbs. ? They are made to stretch... not hang .. Chris would have ended up sitting on the floor !!!!! not HANGING!!! NO DANGLING OF HIS FEET.. Noooooo way... the blood at the scene,, way to much blood to be from a hanging that didn't take place, in the first place. He had 9 now count that ... not one 1, not2, not3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, not 8, 999999999 broken freakin ribs people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!m Chris was a bad ass , tall, strong, in shape , and htere are 9 broken ribs?? I could see maybe 1 or 2 but C'MON PEOPLE ..HE HAD 9!!!!!!.... NOW DO YOU THINK CHRIS KILLED HIMSELF.....OH AND ONE MORE VICKY GRISSLE STORY YOU CAN CHEW ON , but this happens to be true,.. Courtney Love,,,, the black widow herself was at the funeral of Chris Cornell. HMMM? Are Courtney and Vicky friends? Lets just say their husband(their late husbands) have quite a few similarities, the main one is...cremation. All evidene goes up in flames ,, leaving nothing but ash. Oh and Chris Cornell would have never , EVER.. left his kids ..no matter how impaired. period . Dot. He did LOVE his kids.The children ,... he did love.
@@cornellscorner4evr119 So why so many others who say Chris was murdered keep telling he was murdered because of the child trafficking documentary he was taking part in? They don't believe Vicky or his bodygard are involved in Chris' death. There are even more murder versions (theories).
@@cornellscorner4evr119 1) If we are going to talk about conspiracies in this case, unfortunately, no conclusion can be reached, NONE, only assumptions. There is no evidence of any superpower EXPLAINATION of child abuse and blabla, not from Chester or Chris, not before, not after, none. 2) his children affirmed that his father committed suicide, they know their father more than you and I and anyone who comments here, Chris put a noose around his neck and that's it, unfortunately. 3) Generally, a person who suffocates in his own blood, once he is removed from there, his blood is expelled as a vomit, either through the nose or mouth (and in large quantities if the person is medicated), and yes, it is possible hang yourself with an exercise band, no matter what your height, as long as it puts enough pressure on your neck, it's hard to say but it's true. 4) When they apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation to you, around 100 and 120 compressions are performed per minute, think about that. 5) Chris struggled ALL HIS LIFE with depression, suicide attempts and drug dependency. It is more comforting to think that "someone took his life" than to say that a person, with problems like you and me, decided in a moment of crisis to end his problems, this happens every day. 6) Chris was a great person, but he was very, very, very, very powerful and dark, but his pain turned it into art, we all know that he frequently flirted with death, not directly but he did, when we review his art next to his life, there is a history. 7) A friend of mine who worked in hotels met Chris in 2016, she told me that when they had to "check out" Chris did not leave the room with his bodyguards, they had to wait 1 hour. After that they went out and my friend took a picture with him, she waited a moment and ran to her room to see if she could keep something as a "souvenir" and she noticed that there were only a few boxes of normal medicines but there was a little There was blood from the nose on the pillow, and she also noticed that Chris hadn't eaten any of the array of delicacies on the table, he had only had bottled water, something he had consumed the night before maybe, but it gives you some idea if only a little. anecdote. 8) Although together, do you know what was the last song that Chris chose to compose? "You Never Knew My Mind"
@@Andy_ZP Sadly, you are among the spoon fed, excuse the expression, lazy people who hear the story once swallow it hook line and sinker, and then go about your day, maybe even spreading the false narrative to your friends, oh ya did you hear about Chris Cornell committing suicide? And they tell two friends and so on and so on... bla bla bla. Ok so THAT , TO ME, IS WHAT A CONSPIRACY IS. Spreading a false story without researching weather or not it is fact. Say you hear the story once on, say, Good Morning America, Vicky spews her vile, vicious lies about Chris being an addict, relapsing, and hanging himself. You then falsely BELIEVE (SPOON FED) her lies, as if it's the Gospel, and join the band wagon of so-called fans, hold hands and sing Coom by ya around the campfire, meanwhile the true facts of this case clearly point to murder, and yet you have the mind-for-not to shoot down actual facts about child abuse. Yes, Chester Bennington WAS molested by a family friend from the age of seven and it continued for several years. Look up : John Podesta, and do a side by side analysis of their identical faces. He was the "family friend". He also was Hilary Clinton's campaign manager in 2016, where they threw PIZZA PARTIES at the white house . Do you remember anything about Pizza Gate? Do you remember anything about Jeffery Epstein being arrested for numerous charges of child trafficking, prostitution, harvesting organs, Etc. Well, Chris Cornell was a strong, very vocal proponent, against child trafficking. As a fan of Soundgarden, surely you know that Chris started his own foundation to help in any way he could, called the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation. Right? To help women and children in domestic violence situations, find shelter, food etc.. I will get back to that FOUNDATION in a minute. But shame on you for not knowing even a widely known fact with regards to child abuse and wait what did you say? oh ya, bla bla bal. Not very smart or sympathetic on your part. So, ehhhh, no , sorry , you are wrong about, well Im not sure you even know what you meant when you said , " there's no SUPERPOWER explanation of child abuse, not from Chester, not from Chris, not before, not after, none." ??? So if you want to explain what you meant by that. I would be glad to listen. I think what you meant was that you feel they were not murdered because of them wanting to expose what information they had on child trafficking. Am I right? Well, my friend, LOTS of people, both famous and not, have been murdered for less than what Chester and Chris knew. Alvici, Anthony Bourdain, Isacc Kappy, shall I continue? So wake up , yes Hollywood is full of pedophiles and Satanists, yes Chris became aware of this shortly before his death. Yes, Vicky hired the body guard Martin Kirsten. Yes, Kirsten was the last person to see Chris alive. No, there are no video's of Chris coming or going, nor of Martin coming or going. Why, after going to Chris's room on the demand from Vicky , ( she was very angry, and did not like the fact that Chris said he was just tired, and hung up the phone on her, and not answering when she tried to call him back. Oh no he didn't... He did not just hang up the phone on me.... that f'n bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Martin, that fudker is not answering my calls , you need to take care of that " Yes that is conjecture on my part. Does it fit very well with all the other evidence, YES. Please tell me you saw part of or bits and pieces of the last show. Where Chris was not trying to hide the HUGE chunk of hair missing from the back of his head? Go, watch , now. Ask yourself why? Did you know that Chris and Vicky were seperated ? Yes indeed, Chris lived in New York and Vicky lived in Florida. Find for yourself, it is all there. It has been brought to light that before boarding a plane for the Detroit show, Chris had found out about Vicky misapropreating funds from the Chris and Vicky Foundation, were not talking hundreds of dollars, we're talking thousands.... Chris was livid. No more just seperation... Chris wanted a divorce. A fight broke out with Vicky being the violent one, watch Scream, Chris's solo stuff with Timbaland, excellent stuff, very auto-biographical. And she grabbed Chris by his hair and RIPPED it out of his skull. Guess she did not want a divorce from her cash cow. Not before she get's all of Chris's money. Which, also is a point to bring out. did you know that no more than five minutses had passed after learning of her husbands death , that Icky was on the phone with her Attorney asking , " Is there a chance I might not get paid? Will I get paid and when will that be ?" Also, Chris's comments on the night in question, something to the effect of : Ya I don't care what you do, you can burn crosses in your front yard , I don't care, that is your business, just don't burn anybody else's house down. or hurt anyone else in the process. Ya cuz nobody tells me what to do. and nobody tells this band what to do." Here is another hole in the suicide lie, a 20lb maximum resistance f'n rubber band will not support a 180lb, 6'3 man , no way no how. You would end up sitting on the floor. Period. besides there's more. When Kirsten supposedly broke in the front door because it was latched from the inside, there is no way anyone, I don't care if you're Bruce Lee, could kick in the door while it is latched. In fact, the designer of the latch will testify to that, because he had to invent something that would disarm it, to avoid monetary damage to the door, other than a police door buster they use in raids etc. that door is not opening. It is all very calculated to get you the hearing public, to swallow the bullshit. They did'nt expect Chris's fans to actually HEAR the huge amounts of bullshit being spoon fed to the public, and deviate from the norm, and start throwing red flags everywhere!!! doesn't everyone SEE the bulllshit being flung everywhere? Like, why didn't Martin Kirsten call 911 the minute he saw " Chris on the floor".,.Which leads to another gapping hole in the case. After Martin gained entrace to Chris's room ( of course MGM hotel said video to Chris's room happened to be " not working") phhhshiiit... Another hole. . So he is in the room now but Chris is in the bedroom and he has to kick in that door too. He does gain entrance , and see's Chris's feet inside the bathroom. Supposedly hanging from inside with the rubber band up and over the door. To cause resistance the door must be closed. He reported gaining entance to Chris's bedroom and seeing Chris's feet inside the bathroom. So,,,, How is Chris hanging from the door if the door is not closed? Shall I repeat. Rinse repeat? So he see's Chris's feet and the red rubber band around his neck. Why did he NOT CALL 911!!!! He kept calling the hotel to call 911. that does not make any freaking sense. It takes 45 min. for first responders to get to Chris. forty five minutes... Ya 45 min is enough time to kill someone, clean yourself off really good. You should see the pics of Martin's hands during the fake investigation. Absolutley spotless. oh and another thing, the cops did not send the swabs of Martin's hands to the lab for analysis. Why, you say? Seems to be the familiar fuck up of the century scenario, doesn't it? First responder says have a white male, possible STRANGULATION.FROM THE 911 CALL!!! on and on and on we could go.
After my dad died of cancer, I became dead inside not caring about any other person's death for years, especially celebrities, as one of the greatest celebrities in my lief was gone and I could never speak to him again. Until Chris died. For him, I cried like a baby for days, like he was related to me in some way! So sorry I never saw his awesomeness live!
I've suffered with depression for nearly 20 years and I've never even tried any drugs and I rarely drink. People don't have depression because they take drugs, they take drugs because they have depression. It's a way to numb the pain.
All it takes is one bad day, one hard situation, a wrong combination of circumstances to take someone out of this world. No matter how they go it is the same. This beautiful man was clearly trying to do something about his anxiety because he was on meds. And here is what shouldn't get lost , these medications can sometimes cause more problems. A guy I know on prozac stabbed himself in the chest with a butcher knife.His dose was wrong. He was lucky because his friend found him in time and he missed his heart. You can't just be prescribed a medication and not be watched. Please don't lose sight of this fact. The side effects of these meds and the way they are prescribed can sometimes do more harm than good. Rest In peace you beautiful man. We release you back into the cosmic dust from whence you came. You were living proof of the divine .
Ok, that's really strange. I know a guy who was on anti-depressants for anxiety and he stabbed himself in the chest with a butcher knife too. No joke, and he was THE LAST person of anyone I've ever known I thought would do that, ever. NO JOKE. Strange similar symptom of bad prescription meds. Those anti-depressants, and all the new crap they try to prescribe "off label" because the ativan, valium, xanax, clonopin, and other benzos have been on the market forever, all have generics and don't make the pharmaceutical companies $$$$$ ..... They're poison. Yes, ativan is addictive, but he seemed to have someone else handle his pills, as in his 'bodyguard'... Let's ask that dude what the heck he was doing and why Chris's concerned wife had to call him from NY to tell him to check on her husband. The cliched commit suicide in a hotel, accidental or on purpose is getting old, and every one of these deaths had the same common issue, PRESCRIPTION MEDS... with other mitigating circumstances. Who knows what kind of issues were being put in front of Chris Cornell with this band's reunion --- I'm looking at the industry vultures who make the money off these guys. After a long successful career, these artists get seasoned, aren't all naive and know how to stand up for themselves, and then they're worth more to the parasites in the past tense. Prayers for Vicki, their Kids, and Chris Cornell, RIP.
india meesig Prozac made me not want to eat or sleep it was like speed to me..i can't imagine being depressed n not being able to sleep sleep is all I did when I was going through depression Zoloft helped me the most
"The side effects of these meds and the way they are prescribed can sometimes do more harm than good." that's the point. I know many sad stories about that and even some friends of mine attempted suicide when they were taking meds. It really piss me off to see that usually no one talk about that and instead they talk about depression like that was the main cause. But when you're depressed you just stay in your bed all day long doing nothing. Doctors also are responsable for not clearly saying how much those meds can be dangerous.
🦊 Fuck that. I'm tired of people always trying to rip you off like a telano*vuela. I'm bringing you here. Right here. Old East Dallas, TX. Because, I don't know where there is and I can't have my bones all wandering and looking around for you forever. I've come to understand that is the main thing they do. The bones. They like to move around a lot til somebody finally picks them up when they land them close enough. I don't know. I'd hate to be all scattered and roaming like i would be. Now breakfast or back to bed...I fucking love birds, I mean the way birds sound. Id come up off the hip real quick over them. Lol. 🥞☕..wywh. I'd give you pancakes coffee and pussy and go back to bed or paint or something. Instead of going crazy around this dusty mother fucker you know. After I find Orlando I can get the hell out of this city. Have a rocking day and if you are free I hope you stay that way. Ly... Smfmb.💋 👠👠🕳️🎩
As much as i admirer Cornell's humbleness in pointing out that the only reason why the average person who commits suicide does not get the attention they deserve is because they are not famous, i feel that Cornell uses this humbleness to draw away attention from him and his problems and redirect them at some large perspective view. A subtle defense mechanisim.
Wow what a fascinating and intelligent man who had so much insight to the problem of addiction and depression but still could not save himself. So so very sad, Love you Chris forever RIP.
Today I think.. . . What a precious life, soul, and fresh vocalist that speaks to our heart and mind. Peace to you Chris. I will always hear you in my soul and I will dance in the streets knowing that you have left many messages of hope through your gift as a man and of music.
Chris Cornell had an experience he was never ill, he wasn’t understood at the time he emerged! This man was a genius spirit this world wasn’t ready for him. He will return when we discover and learn how to deal with our emotions. His words of wisdom interpreted through his unique voice. He Will always live!!
Thank you Chris for making me feel normal about my issues. And for giving me the strength the make the decision to keep going. Bless you wherever you go on the other side.
Sometimes it doesn't matter how much support you have bc the feelings of Anxiety or Depression can be just Overwhelming. Very Sad to Lose such a Great Person that had such a Great Influence on so many!
Depression and drug abuse are personal issues. It is not people's jobs to 'save' their friends and family. The gossip is he had relapsed many times--not just alcohol but pills. If the reports of track marks on his arm are true, he had been falling off of the wagon for the past 15 years. What about support for the friends and family of adults who refuse to control themselves? Do you know what it's like being related to an adult with a substance abuse issue? I's like permanent babysitting. Their problems overtake everything. They are viewed as childlike and unable to control their impulses and everyone around them is held responsible for their choices. I have seen countless people whine about how Chris should have had someone watching him. He was 52-years-old! He was old enough to know better.
Fatty Cakes Bullshit. Chris Cornell was Murdered. Justice for Chris Cornell. And he was a grown Man who would never hurt his kids like that. Justice for Chris Cornell. Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend.
Chris was always very transparent about his struggles with depression and alcohol and drugs. I think what he did was a result of whatever drugs he had in his system that night and feelings of hopelessness and despair and wasn’t pre-planned.
I love you Chris. You were the ONE artist that truly made me feel I wasn't alone . Your death still hauntes me. Nobody sings like you anymore. RiP. You will never be forgotten.
When we are alone we are stuck inside our heads. it’s like a room you can never leave.. there are ups and downs and you never really know how you gonna feel in an hour.. you never really know how you gonna react to a situation.. so sometimes you avoid going out.. i don’t like anxiety depression and bipolar.. but many of us need to stand firm and know that tomorrow might be good.. ✌️
Cesar, I'm just reading your comment from 2 years ago... hoping you have made it through the dark times, and have enjoyed many many "good tomorrow"s 💕💕💕
I so miss this guy! He was so talented, so intelligent, so down to earth, so unique, genuine & real...and he had one hell of a voice & was a beast on the six string! I wish that whatever happened could have been altered. We lost a true humble rock god that was a real gentleman. You are sorely missed Chris Cornell! I hope you knew that before you left this world...
This interviewer. "Seem interested any time he looks at me. Make noises. "Absolutely, absolutely". R.I.P Chris Cornell. A lot of people tuning into you now that might never have before.
IMO the interviewer seemed obnoxiously enthusiastic, like he was reallllllllllllllllllllly wanting Chris to know he could relate. Chris seemed like he was just trying to get through the interview. And yes, RIP dear Chris.
He was so beautiful inside and out and cared so much about people. Chris will always be missed and loved. R.I.P. Beautiful Keeper 🙏🏽🕊 still can’t believe your gone. Prayers for Vicky and your children and family and fans 🙏🏽♥️🌹♥️ can’t help but cry when I hear his beautiful voice.
I deal with insomnia and depression but And I don't focus on myself, but I focus on helping others, for example, by visiting children with terminal cancer, and I think how blessed I am, thanks to God, because these poor children were born without depression and they won't even live to be young! Don't focus so much on yourself.
recently i came to know what a lot of depressed people think about mental issues and suicide, and it's really something like what he says, some just don't want to get better, some just live throught everything, till one day it´s just that, the day that you have to go. Rest in peace Chris!! be free!
Hey! It's definitely not that depressed people don't want to get better--what a stupid view. More than everybody else, we'd love to feel joyful, many times it's just not possible. Pills work for about 25% of depressives and then the meds work about 50% of the time. It's been a real bitch spending 60+ years depressed with occasional glimpses into an easier life. Stay away from people who think it's as simple as mind over matter--because it isn't (don't listen to stupid psychologists with their meaningless suggestions ie. "a smile is just a frown turned upside down"). Get thee to a board certified MD who has specialized in psychiatry.
@@claytontharp8902 your just disregarding viable options and telling others to do the same. I think noone with mental illness should listen to you without trying these things first it may work well for others.
The pain will never leave... Some days it's just too hard to listen to Chris sing, some days I can listen for hours and sit in awe of his amazing talent 💔
Silence doesn't mean he doesn't know what to say next, he's articulating. Interviewer needs to catch a clue and STFU. Let him talk, if you listen closely you'll see how his mind works. Brilliant man lyrically, vocally and musically. I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan but my heart goes to Chris everytime. Hope you're at peace now
I break down. I cry. I let it out. Most of my life dealing with depression. But I continue. I continue and continue. But I understand. I understand. Love you brother. RIP.
Listen to alot of the tunes.. Blow Up the Outside.. Day I Tried to Live... its all kind of right there. I love alot of these tunes too because Soundgarden and Cornelle were able to tap into the BS that alot of people feel. I'm just happy we got as much time with them as we did.
I remember reading an article with him in it, where he was talking about that people tend to go back to Nirvana and other artists lyrics and assume that that all of the lyrics were about suicide, but they actually weren't. Chris's songs weren't about him killing himself. He's even said Blow Up The Outside world is about ending racism, and every other despicable thing that infects society, all of the cruelness. Day I Tried To Live is about being anti-social / a shut-in and running through the cycle of "Should I try to leave and be with the rest of the world, or should I stay isolated from the rest of the world as I have". Dealing with the anxieties of being around people vs being isolated and away from the world. One more time around is a metaphor for the thought of that choice. I learned that I was a liar = I learned that I couldn't commit to taking a chance on leaving.
This is an interview to take note of people. No matter how sure your loved ones are of what they’re doing, always watch over them and save them if you can.
I’m still in shock. The ultimate mind f. It was just Kurt Cobain for all those years and then out of nowhere Chris. His melodies are so hauntingly beautiful. Love to you Chris. Thank you guys for all the positive comments. I wonder if this post will be here years after I’m gone. Interesting to ponder upon. If you found yourself here...much love to you.
He said it. You can't make someone get help. That's the roughest part of depression. I've been there. It's all about balance and inner strength. Most of all physical & Spiritual strength. ✌🏽 For me music is my release & Therapy. Not all music is good for your mind remember that. To me the darkest Hard Rock/ Classic Rock/ Dark Horror core rap/ or any metal will enlighten you. When you approach music don't let it control you. You must ride with it and release the demons. I just don't sit there and let it drown me. I'll pick up the drums, guitar, or bass. It's highly suggested to sing and yell with it. Most of all radio mainstream will drive you insane. Peace to All !!!
i remember my dad playing audioslave and soundgarden for as long as i can remember. and then one day in gym, our coaches hooked up the stereo to a radio station and be yourself comes on. before i knew what was happening i was singing all the words. and everyone was saying to me "what is this" or "who even in this" and it broke my heart because they will never know talent or beauty in anyway by not knowing Chris Cornell and all he has done. Chris is an inspiration to me. A true inspiration.
He is so honest and real in this interview I love it! I have gone through the same thing and I can relate and I agree with EVERYTHING he said about addict's! Such a great mind you are so missed every day I think of you and listen to your music🎧🎼😔
*Looking back I realize this man...* *has been in nearly every aspect of my life.* Nearly every workout, every relaxing moment, every thoughtful trans, time of soul searching, every celebration, every heartbreak. Accepting things as they are... Im glad this was a accident and not intentional. I would to remember him burdened that way.
As sad as it is to hear, he is very right about all this. There needs to be a lot more awareness. I can only hope people can learn from him, and we can become a more understanding society. RIP Chris Cornell...thanks for enlightening us with your words & music!
The pain never leaves. It haunts one night and day. We must start thinking that we must talk about what is troubling us. Rach out by just being there for someone. Let them talk while you listen. And love. Always be about love.
Chris no one sings like you anymore and nothing looks the same since you left us. I always thought you were invincible. Never the same. Words cannot descibe how deeply you are missed
Today your family will lay you to rest. Tomorrow you will still be in out hearts and thoughts and many days to follow. Will hope to meet you in heaven some day.
Panic attack can come out of nowhere, they can also be uncontrollable. When dealing with a panic attack, an individual sets his psyche at an impulse behaviour. If he had a panic attack moments before his death, he would find the quickest and easiest way to end the torment. If you suffer from random panic attacks, i strongly encourage you to pickup meditation. You should definitely get rid of all alcohol and drogue consumption. Doping, messing with your hormones, will only make your mental illness stronger and harder to overcome. Bonus, even your bad diet can play a big role on your mental health.
Andrew Hawawini so right. panic attacks are nothing to push off. my first one, i looked at the floor and knew in that moment i was going to die right there. sometimes you can feel one coming on. Anxiety has made me paranoid even though you try to tell yourself its just anxiety. horrible thing.
I've had panic attacks off and on since I was 15 yrs old, some periods they were worse than others. About 12 yrs ago they would last for a couple hours, that was pure torture. I sat down one day to plan out committing suicide because I just couldn't take not knowing if today was going to be the day. Luckily I bumped into someone(stranger)that knew something was up with me and started to question me. I finally admitted that I wouldn't be here tomorrow and told him why. We ended up talking for a few hours and then every day for months after. I went to the dr, got help and meds to help.
It has really only happened to me one time. I was smoking marijuana as a teenager and I randomly started hyperventilating and could not stop for at least 5-10 minutes. All other times in life including since then It has been instead just very bad anxiety attacks, but nothing that ever manifested itself so unapologetically physical like that. The mind is strange.
That's Right. Drug Addiction don't discriminate. Once you become an addict. It's a losing & hopeless situation. And we all know the outcome. Jail, Institutions & Death. R. I. P. Chris Cornell & Chester Bennington, Scott Weiland & on and on and on. Be Safe everyone and please don't pick up. God Bless all of you reading this. C🤘🎤🎙♩🎼
Emotions playing tricks on you. It can be fixed however through better quality of diet, sleep, meditation, exercise and positive company. Remember to breathe deeply and remind yourself your here and not there
He sounds so unhappy. It’s on his sleeve. Chester Bennington laughed alot in front of others but suffered in silence. They are 2 very different people Chris and Chester yet both suffer depression and addiction.
Depression and Anxiety is a fighting battle everyday. I hate it so much. Thoughts racing, exhausted feeling, worried about what others say and think about you, sleeping too much, not sleeping enough, feeling like you're down and out,tired all the time, not wanting to do anything but yet you want to but can't, canceling appointments or dates with people...i could go on and on. DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY ARE NOT MY FRIEND BUT TAGS ALONG WITH ME EVERYDAY.😩
no one walks in your shoes, no one knows your life, don't judge anyone if you can, you don't know who they are inside, show compassion and people will surprise you and may be there the day you need them too.
He is exactly right. I can look around only to miss several old friends who didn't make it. I did, and I don't know why. My DAD just passed away at 76 right after Christmas. He had these demons........Drug and alcohol addiction is no different from any other disease. It is relentless.
I didn't really know him or even really know of him apart from their famous biggest hit. but have been watching some interviews last few days very smart real person. He reminds me of Eddie vedder in many ways
Depression and self loathing and just feeling like you arent getting any happiness out of life is one of the worst things you can experience, depression will steel your time, your hope and your energy. To those who have never had that they just think that you are being dramatic or weak, only when they experience it themselves do hey know that you werent exageratting. In Chris's case he had a history of drug use from an early age, and im being honest, that is never going to help someone. We are the things we put in our body and we are also the thoughts and ideas that we contantly put in our minds year in year out with music, or visually in other ways, things do effect us, advetisers know that if we repeat ideas they get in to our minds, so be careful of what you allow in to your mind. Guard your mental health at all costs. Just to add that there is a Big Playlist of videos about Depression in the Playlist part of my channel that may be useful to people ?
Friends tends to disappear when u get depressed. Mine did.
Later, when a friend of mine just disappeared from the radar, I called an and text him over 250 times in 3 months before he anwered. I asked where he'd been, and he said he'd been diagnosed w Bipolar disorder, so he had not been able to pick up the phone 'til now.
"But", he said to me: "you're the ONLY ONE who's been calling...!"
I applaud you persistence, most people aren’t able to do that. A symptom of mental illness can be isolation, so even if we can’t respond your attempts at contact they still help.
@Sheridan Isashitstain Don't reject yourself. You're just as good as everyone else on the planet. We all have problems and we all screw up and have regrets. Nobody has to be perfect. After all, no one is perfect. Not one. I suspect that you have a lot of family who love you and would miss you. If you are aren't living on the street, why end your life?
@Sheridan Isashitstain when you said "most of us who commit suicide would fade to dust" it seemed as though you were identifying yourself as a person who was one of the people who do that. So I was concerned.
Speaking as a person who was (or thought he was?) a Christian for over 20 years, know that if any Christian judges you (or anyone else) they have instantly become NOT a Christian, according to the words of Jesus. Because if a Christian judges another person they have ceased to be followers of his teachings of love compassion acceptance and non-judgement.
Jesus said "It is not those who say they are mine who are mine, but those who DO my commands" (which are love and empathy).
The people who judge are miserable unhappy unfulfilled people suffering from low self-esteem who are looking for a way to put someone down so they can feel superior for a few moments, but alas... their feelings of low self-esteem will return and they will remember that they believe in their hearts that they are pieces of trash... and they'll go on alert looking for their next innocent victim to attack.
I'm glad that you received my message with the positivity it was sent with!
No one talks about mental illness. From the "medical community" down to (ex))friends.It's still a hush hush, scourge. But hey everybody, you're right...I should just get over it.
Your a Great friend !!💖💖
The first minute and 15 seconds where he talks about how the death of a famous rockstar and a random, ordinary, person are really no different from each other is so true. What a wonderful man.
No one sings like you anymore...
no one sang like him ever
+Daniel Vitale It's these damn pills that the docs are force feeding people. They alter your sense of reality and turn you into someone you'd never be had you not taken them. I know, I've been there. And yeah "tragic" is the perfect description.
+Michael Ranger. B.S. MY ASS bud. I have a teenage daughter on anti-depressants. I see first hand what this shit does!
+Daniel Vitale I feel you bud.
+Michael Ranger I'm sorry for coming across as an ass to you but nevertheless, I did and I apologize man. I'm glad that what you take works for you. I've never suffered from clinical depression but I did have a serious drug addiction in the 90's and I also within the last year have been prescribed pills and they did turn me into a monster. I didn't know myself and the people that know me kept asking me what was wrong with me. Now I see my daughters struggles and it's painful. From reading what you wrote I can tell that you are articulate and you are speaking from experience.
I'm very sorry that I came across the way I did. All my best to you brother, and I sincerely mean that. Once again, apologies to you man.
Depression has kicked my ass throughout my life. I feel his pain in this interview.
Stay safe.
Franco Barron man stay positive, I know it's hard I also struggle with depression but we're all here for a reason and every living thing is a beautiful miracle
Franco Barron Depression runs in my dad's side of the family, been dealing with mines for 11 years so far. It really is hard, I'm with you on that. Lost my job, girlfriend, and self-image. I'm so desperate that I'm looking into trying out acid for the first time. See if I can find something within myself..
Alex Carlino Thank you for the kind words.
Jimmy Dedios I've stuggled with everything. There's always light at end of tunnel.
Depression is a horrible monster
shawn brock True ... 100% !!

shawn brock Big pharma is a horrible monster
Vinakti what drug killed him...do u think?
Agree 100% My husband on Ativan took his life 1988. I really feel it clouds the judgement and allows yourself to slip in a realm you would not be in if not on Ativan...........
Great idea for the interviewer to interrupt constantly. Fantastic.
agree!!
AGREED ...
God gave you two ears and one mouth.Use them in that ratio.It's a great skill to just listen...who knows you might just learn something.
Outrageous! LOL.
J M or he was having a conversation, stfu
people who has never suffered from depression have no idea what we go through everyday
Thank you
Calling depression "depression" is like calling a heart attack "heartburn". It's an aggressive, violent disorder that should be taken as seriously as ALS or Alzheimer's.
No doubt about it.
It needs a different name. Normal people who don’t suffer with it relate “Depression” as being sad, depressed temporarily and can’t figure out why a person with depression just can’t “snap back” to their old selves. Perhaps something like “Chronic Endorphin Deficiency Syndrome”. ChEDS.
I agree 100%. Rught now I'm in the worst period of it I've ever experienced. I find my empathy for other peoples situations is hugely heightened. I'm on the verge of tears almost every hour of everyday and anything can set them off. I feel a huge sense of guilt bc my family are worried sick, but I cant seem to get past it. I truely scared for my future, bc I dont know how to fix this. At this point, suicide is not an option. I know all to well what it would do to my family. I've tried almost every SSRI and other anti depressants. Right now I'm on effexor. This sucks so much. Every minute feels like an hour, time goes by so slow. No joy in anything anymore. I truely feel for anyone else who suffers from this and there are so many.
Imagine an interviewer that let's his subject finish his sentence?? Unreal. RIP Chris Cornell. You are missed.
The interviewer was throwing Chris off of what he was try to say.. thanks dude!
I still haven't gotten over his death. I find myself pulling up footage and songs by him all the time and watching his interviews. I can't seem to get his voice out of my head. Love you Chris 🙋
I always come back to him too. Now that I’m older I understand him more and more.
Same
I feel similar to you do, the pain of the past is ever present. the Day I tried to live is like how I feel a lot of the time when I get depressed. I have lost so many people that I was so close to or close relatives that I didn’t no really know, sometimes I feel guilty having survived them. I lost my dad, who I loved the most and was my step dad and struggled from various addictions , my biological father who was fucked up from the Vietnam war, and my 20 year old son William, who died from leukemia and brain cancer. WTF, sometimes I feel like they should have survived me. I have hope because I have an 18 year old son who is graduating this year and is healthy, smart and wet behind the ears like I was at his age. Please pray for him, his name is Angel.
@@bobbyjwatson2042 you and me are survivors. We must live and live hard on behalf of our fallen comrades. But at the same time always keep these people in our hearts. And also listen to plenty of Chris Cornell. 🙋
Let me guess, you're about 50 years old? He spoke for all of us in a way that no one else can ever match.
I was playing "i am the highway" accoustic version yesterday with my kids, then they asked, daddy why are you crying whats wrong. I said sometimes sweeties, people leave this earth when they are not supposed to. After they went to bed i sobbed for hours until i fell asleep listening to his voice. It will be a very long time before this passes. Rest with Angels Chris. I miss you so much already...
I do feel the very same crying over him and trying to explain to my little daughter. Feelings of sorrow, waste and wrongfulness, I just can't get over. I hardly ever feel this way when a person I didn't know personally passes away, but this is far way different. It is simply not right. If only someone could have helped him. Rest in peace, dear Chris, I will pray for you.
I still cry and it's been almost a yr....whats wrong w me......
L Przepiora Nothing... You felt how much of a beautiful spirit he is and the loss of his life... You’re perfectly fine.
L Przepiora Nothing is wrong with you. You're not alone. Justice for Chris Cornell. Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend.
Right there with you. I didn't take his passing well at all. Still struggle with it. Out of all the vocalists that helped define my youth, he was always number one. His voice felt like home. RIP Chris 😔
3 weeks clean, still depressed and having cravings, but I feel better overall. If you're struggling, booze and drugs only make it worse, a lot worse.
3 months sober and feeling great without it. Never going to pick up again....hate everything about addiction and what comes with it.
Gehn Saavedro That should be a more popular opinion. Everyone I know who suffers from depression/addiction felt like a burden as children rather than wanted/validated. It would make a lot of sense as to why they all gravitated towards substances for solace. Also maybe why they have difficulty loving/being loved.
@@sohimashah5098 Yeah, addiction starts almost like a love affair, it's always there for you to comfort you and makes you feel better. It slowly turns into the burden like you say, but by that point it's like a bad romance that you know is extremely healthy but it's become such an ingrained pattern by that point that it's hard to break free from it. Dangerous, slippery slope. Find some real support from people that care about you, even if you don't understand why they care, and allow them to demand better from you. No one wants to be addicted, so do actions that are in line with what you want in your heart, not whatever destructive crap you're stupid brain is telling you to do
Daniel Lion find a balance that doesn’t send you over the edge,life is too short not to get fucked up in moderation
@Gehn Saavedro You tube needs more of you man ,peace!
Times are gone for honest men.
I 💘
Dammit man.
And sometimes far too long for snakes.
Chris Cornell was a Vary Talented person !
Far too long
He seemed like such an awesome and down-to-earth person. I will miss him forever.
The part where he talks about expecting things from himself and trying to meet those expectations, I think many with anxiety and depression can relate to that. We oftentimes expect too much of ourselves and might even expect perfection, and we become frustrated and unhappy with ourselves, and we feel we're never really enough or perfect enough or good enough. Its in trying to meet those expectations from ourselves that we become more depressed. We need to just relax as best we can, and be happy with ourselves and realize we dont need be perfect to be loved. We only need to be ourselves, and be ok with the fact that some days we wont feel so great. Dont beat yourself up over it.
MusicLova our ultimate hell
MusicLova Yeah Chris knew that. He wrote a song about Be your self It's all that you can do. Justice for Chris Cornell.Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend.
MusicLova Especially with A Evil Satanist Witch Wife. Telling you that and treating you like a dog. Justice for Chris Cornell. Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend.
As a former comedian i rank this comment at the top. The only person we can never satisfy is ourselves and we can't seem to get it through our heads that its ok not to be perfect everyday.
Nice
Rest in paradise Chris. I remember listening to Black Hole Sun everyday after school. Chris saved me from destroying myself from crippling depression. I can’t thank you enough Chris. Miss you brother. No one sings like you anymore.
The interviewer does not seem to get it. "You need to surround yourself with people" maybe true, but when depression takes over we just want to be alone. It's so sad to see CC talking about it. He was such a caring and thoughtful person. 😞
So true, he doesn't get it. A majority of the world doesn't, that's why resources generally suck. Kinda tough to "surround yourself with people" when you are immobilized with every ounce of energy going to keeping yourself alive. It's horrendous.
True. When my symptoms set in I can bearly speak to my girlfriend. You just feel drained.
@@valueinyou9931 Agree
@@el34glo59 Thanks for being out there...for real. We need more people like you in this world.
Completely agree. When life has been nothing but a waking nightmare and you’re just trying to navigate through it, the last thing you want to do is surround yourself with people.
Damn!!! “Just like Scott Weiland’s Mother is crying, there are mother crying that have lost their sun that are construction workers, mechanics, literally anything else....”. That hit me hard. Very deep in the way Chris put that together.
Chris and Chester`s suicides really hit me as a fan of many years I was crushed , I suffer from depression and anxiety and could not understand why somebody so talented and gifted with a beautiful family would take their own life and at the time I thought I would have no chance against my demons if these guys end it .
But this interview shows rock stars are human like everyone else and have their own problems.
With depression and anxiety I get so tired of battling it and my demons .
RIP Chris .
The sun is out so I'm going for a long walk , that helps blow those fucking demons away .
Same man. Never alone for I too struggle from both. Peace and love, friend. ✌️
Aytch and Gigi I always was relatable to Chris, through and through and there's no way a genuine guy could hang himself let alone take one of his children out of the will. Chris mentally seems strong, he wouldn't take his own life unless some drugs were mixed. The band did have something about it because they didn't notice how torn up Chris looked on stage and didn't say anything. How sad.
Aytch and Gigi let's hope we get justice sooner than later. As a light worker in spirituality, I was told through tarot he was blackmailed by a company/someone, who was inconsiderate, rude, so much to the point where it bothered Chris. Who ever it was, they tore him up and got away with it when he begged them not to.
maybe this will help.............THEY WERE BOTH .......MURDERED. PEROD..DOT. Courtney Love was at Chris Cornell's funeral...Does that open your eyes now.? You may be depressed, (no disrespect fellow human being ) but you are NOT stupid.
It's a enormous pression on your head and body, some try to fight it and win other's don't. It's my point of view. I won! Blessed you all❤️
I too experienced the dark side and it took me 13 years to get out of it. It is a well known fact that depressives self medicate, and I did too. I can only describe real depression as being sucked into a vortex of abject misery, and every time you try to get out of that vortex you are sucked deeper in. I am so very sorry Chris did not make it. I loved his music, his voice. RIP.
Elisa Perkins she’s just in denial don’t be too harsh on her
He was silenced silly he didn't commit suicide. Wake up and research good lord
How did you overcome your depression after 13 years?
Completely feel that. I felt it was like being in quicksand without energy to even try to escape. An awful, hopelessness and lack of connection to life and anyone or anything in it. I didn't seek help or talk about either which added to feeling more isolated. It also took me a very long time to get back some sense of purpose in life and self. I'm not as vibrant a person I was b4 going into it, but I'm OK. What it has give me is the certainty that, no matter what I face in life, nothing can be as bad and nothing will keep me down. Glad you made it out too!!
It really doesn't matter why, lets remember Chris Cornell for who he was, legendary music innovator who spoke directly to a generation !
Well said
Don't ever interrupt Chris when he's talking, we miss you Chris music isn't the same without grunge music.
I really wish the man interviewing would shut up and let him speak. I feel like Chris was cut off so many times, by impatience.
Absolutely.
Interviewers on coke
Thanks for sharing. "If there's anything to learn from it, it's that there is no type of person, location - there is no categorization of person, man or woman, that you can be that is going to be immune to a lot of these things: substance abuse, mental illness, behavioral problems. It can affect anybody and everybody."
It can affect anybody anywhere but there is no denying that perhaps as a port city or for whatever reason.. hard drugs were rampant and very easily accessible in Seattle during the grunge era in the music scene. Some musicians in Seattle saw so many of their musician friends die (including some famous and semi-famous) that they decided to move away permanently from that location in order to not potentially fall into the same fate. I doubt people like construction workers working in various areas of the U.S. were having to pick up and move to a different location because so many fellow construction workers were dropping dead of heroin use etc.. There WAS a particular problem/epidemic of people living in Seattle, including musicians, who were dropping like flies during that period. Why Chris would deflect from this I don't know. Then again, he was married to Susan Silver, a woman who was fully aware as an insider/handler. I am also not convinced as of yet that Chris's death was a suicide, I have not decided either way according to the evidence, there are things that don't seem to add up, but I am completely convinced that Kurt Cobain was murdered, there is no logical or feasible way possible that he could have pulled that trigger. He could have injected himself with a massive overdose of heroin, that is possible, but there is NO WAY that, with the amount in his system, he could have then shot himself. Someone else shot him in the head and since that is the case it makes how the overdose happened extremely suspect as well (someone wanted him to overdose). As a side note....just recently I was reading about Layne Staley and how he gave Kurt a lift and he said Kurt was beaming the whole time about his daughter, going into detail about her and he was just so happy talking about everything about her, that was approx. three months before his alleged suicide. Kurt's death did not make sense to Layne either.
Thank you for the music ✊ Rest in peace, sir
Yes I agree. Rest in peace and god bless and peace to your love ones
Man oh man, what a great loss. It's hard to believe he's gone. Who knows what went on in his mind, what he felt. My thoughts, as anyone else's who loved this guy and his legacy, go out to those he left behind, his family and closest friends. RIP.
I guess you're like all the rest , no smarter than the cattle getting prodded to the slaughter house. I say that because you, like all the other people commenting here , sharing your grief, and confusion over why Chris would ever do something so horrific, or what could have been going on in his head,..bla bla bla..I will tell you what was going on in his head, unless this part of the story is a complete fabrication as well.. " Chris called his body guard ,(guy by the name of Martin Kirsten, now missing action , LIKE A VAPOR ... no one knows where he is.) and asked him if he could come and fix his Apple TV. Hmmm should we check the surveillance camera's outside of Chris's room? or in the entire hotel for that matter? Gee boss ,..I guess we should Huh? No sign of Chris Cornell ANYWHERE.. not coming in the hotel or to his room... no ambulence to take Chris to the morgue or to the hospital. No NOT ONE VIDEO OF CHRIS CORNELL AFTER THE CONCERT. We live in a big brother society,, freaking camera's EVERY WHERE!!!!!! SOOOO.... WHERE IS HE? THAT IS ONE OF MANY MANY INCONSISTANCIES.. BUT i guess that is besides the point because his wife said bla bla bla abd everybody seems to believe her even when it is a physical impossibility to hang yourself with this flimsy exercise band!!!! the sad part of it all, is that everyone has taken her word for it, and not even looking at the lies as they slap across your face and into some sort of blind submission. What is going on in this world we live in today ? No body questions blatant , flat out impossibilities anymore? It's like when your parents told you If your friend jumped off a bridge would you? ..... So anyway back to another part of the story that makes no freakin sense....WHY would Chris call his body guard to come help him with his apple TV ,.....( if he was planning on hanging himself with a red exercise band that is only capable of withstanding 20 lbs of pressure? ) Chris was 6 '2 and weighed 180 freaking lbs. ? They are made to stretch... not hang .. Chris would have ended up sitting on the floor !!!!! not HANGING!!! NO DANGLING OF HIS FEET.. Noooooo way... the blood at the scene,, way to much blood to be from a hanging that didn't take place, in the first place. He had 9 now count that ... not one 1, not2, not3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, not 8, 999999999 broken freakin ribs people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!m Chris was a bad ass , tall, strong, in shape , and htere are 9 broken ribs?? I could see maybe 1 or 2 but C'MON PEOPLE ..HE HAD 9!!!!!!.... NOW DO YOU THINK CHRIS KILLED HIMSELF.....OH AND ONE MORE VICKY GRISSLE STORY YOU CAN CHEW ON , but this happens to be true,.. Courtney Love,,,, the black widow herself was at the funeral of Chris Cornell. HMMM? Are Courtney and Vicky friends? Lets just say their husband(their late husbands) have quite a few similarities, the main one is...cremation. All evidene goes up in flames ,, leaving nothing but ash. Oh and Chris Cornell would have never , EVER.. left his kids ..no matter how impaired. period . Dot. He did LOVE his kids.The children ,... he did love.
@@cornellscorner4evr119 So why so many others who say Chris was murdered keep telling he was murdered because of the child trafficking documentary he was taking part in? They don't believe Vicky or his bodygard are involved in Chris' death. There are even more murder versions (theories).
@@cornellscorner4evr119
1) If we are going to talk about conspiracies in this case, unfortunately, no conclusion can be reached, NONE, only assumptions. There is no evidence of any superpower EXPLAINATION of child abuse and blabla, not from Chester or Chris, not before, not after, none.
2) his children affirmed that his father committed suicide, they know their father more than you and I and anyone who comments here, Chris put a noose around his neck and that's it, unfortunately.
3) Generally, a person who suffocates in his own blood, once he is removed from there, his blood is expelled as a vomit, either through the nose or mouth (and in large quantities if the person is medicated), and yes, it is possible hang yourself with an exercise band, no matter what your height, as long as it puts enough pressure on your neck, it's hard to say but it's true.
4) When they apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation to you, around 100 and 120 compressions are performed per minute, think about that.
5) Chris struggled ALL HIS LIFE with depression, suicide attempts and drug dependency. It is more comforting to think that "someone took his life" than to say that a person, with problems like you and me, decided in a moment of crisis to end his problems, this happens every day.
6) Chris was a great person, but he was very, very, very, very powerful and dark, but his pain turned it into art, we all know that he frequently flirted with death, not directly but he did, when we review his art next to his life, there is a history.
7) A friend of mine who worked in hotels met Chris in 2016, she told me that when they had to "check out" Chris did not leave the room with his bodyguards, they had to wait 1 hour. After that they went out and my friend took a picture with him, she waited a moment and ran to her room to see if she could keep something as a "souvenir" and she noticed that there were only a few boxes of normal medicines but there was a little There was blood from the nose on the pillow, and she also noticed that Chris hadn't eaten any of the array of delicacies on the table, he had only had bottled water, something he had consumed the night before maybe, but it gives you some idea if only a little. anecdote.
8) Although together, do you know what was the last song that Chris chose to compose?
"You Never Knew My Mind"
@@Andy_ZP Sadly, you are among the spoon fed, excuse the expression, lazy people who hear the story once swallow it hook line and sinker, and then go about your day, maybe even spreading the false narrative to your friends, oh ya did you hear about Chris Cornell committing suicide? And they tell two friends and so on and so on... bla bla bla. Ok so THAT , TO ME, IS WHAT A CONSPIRACY IS. Spreading a false story without researching weather or not it is fact. Say you hear the story once on, say, Good Morning America, Vicky spews her vile, vicious lies about Chris being an addict, relapsing, and hanging himself. You then falsely BELIEVE (SPOON FED) her lies, as if it's the Gospel, and join the band wagon of so-called fans, hold hands and sing Coom by ya around the campfire, meanwhile the true facts of this case clearly point to murder, and yet you have the mind-for-not to shoot down actual facts about child abuse. Yes, Chester Bennington WAS molested by a family friend from the age of seven and it continued for several years. Look up : John Podesta, and do a side by side analysis of their identical faces. He was the "family friend". He also was Hilary Clinton's campaign manager in 2016, where they threw PIZZA PARTIES at the white house . Do you remember anything about Pizza Gate? Do you remember anything about Jeffery Epstein being arrested for numerous charges of child trafficking, prostitution, harvesting organs, Etc. Well, Chris Cornell was a strong, very vocal proponent, against child trafficking. As a fan of Soundgarden, surely you know that Chris started his own foundation to help in any way he could, called the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation. Right? To help women and children in domestic violence situations, find shelter, food etc.. I will get back to that FOUNDATION in a minute. But shame on you for not knowing even a widely known fact with regards to child abuse and wait what did you say? oh ya, bla bla bal. Not very smart or sympathetic on your part. So, ehhhh, no , sorry , you are wrong about, well Im not sure you even know what you meant when you said , " there's no SUPERPOWER explanation of child abuse, not from Chester, not from Chris, not before, not after, none." ??? So if you want to explain what you meant by that. I would be glad to listen. I think what you meant was that you feel they were not murdered because of them wanting to expose what information they had on child trafficking. Am I right? Well, my friend, LOTS of people, both famous and not, have been murdered for less than what Chester and Chris knew. Alvici, Anthony Bourdain, Isacc Kappy, shall I continue? So wake up , yes Hollywood is full of pedophiles and Satanists, yes Chris became aware of this shortly before his death. Yes, Vicky hired the body guard Martin Kirsten. Yes, Kirsten was the last person to see Chris alive. No, there are no video's of Chris coming or going, nor of Martin coming or going. Why, after going to Chris's room on the demand from Vicky , ( she was very angry, and did not like the fact that Chris said he was just tired, and hung up the phone on her, and not answering when she tried to call him back. Oh no he didn't... He did not just hang up the phone on me.... that f'n bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Martin, that fudker is not answering my calls , you need to take care of that " Yes that is conjecture on my part. Does it fit very well with all the other evidence, YES. Please tell me you saw part of or bits and pieces of the last show. Where Chris was not trying to hide the HUGE chunk of hair missing from the back of his head? Go, watch , now. Ask yourself why? Did you know that Chris and Vicky were seperated ? Yes indeed, Chris lived in New York and Vicky lived in Florida. Find for yourself, it is all there. It has been brought to light that before boarding a plane for the Detroit show, Chris had found out about Vicky misapropreating funds from the Chris and Vicky Foundation, were not talking hundreds of dollars, we're talking thousands.... Chris was livid. No more just seperation... Chris wanted a divorce. A fight broke out with Vicky being the violent one, watch Scream, Chris's solo stuff with Timbaland, excellent stuff, very auto-biographical. And she grabbed Chris by his hair and RIPPED it out of his skull. Guess she did not want a divorce from her cash cow. Not before she get's all of Chris's money. Which, also is a point to bring out. did you know that no more than five minutses had passed after learning of her husbands death , that Icky was on the phone with her Attorney asking , " Is there a chance I might not get paid? Will I get paid and when will that be ?" Also, Chris's comments on the night in question, something to the effect of : Ya I don't care what you do, you can burn crosses in your front yard , I don't care, that is your business, just don't burn anybody else's house down. or hurt anyone else in the process. Ya cuz nobody tells me what to do. and nobody tells this band what to do." Here is another hole in the suicide lie, a 20lb maximum resistance f'n rubber band will not support a 180lb, 6'3 man , no way no how. You would end up sitting on the floor. Period. besides there's more. When Kirsten supposedly broke in the front door because it was latched from the inside, there is no way anyone, I don't care if you're Bruce Lee, could kick in the door while it is latched. In fact, the designer of the latch will testify to that, because he had to invent something that would disarm it, to avoid monetary damage to the door, other than a police door buster they use in raids etc. that door is not opening. It is all very calculated to get you the hearing public, to swallow the bullshit. They did'nt expect Chris's fans to actually HEAR the huge amounts of bullshit being spoon fed to the public, and deviate from the norm, and start throwing red flags everywhere!!! doesn't everyone SEE the bulllshit being flung everywhere? Like, why didn't Martin Kirsten call 911 the minute he saw " Chris on the floor".,.Which leads to another gapping hole in the case. After Martin gained entrace to Chris's room ( of course MGM hotel said video to Chris's room happened to be " not working") phhhshiiit... Another hole. . So he is in the room now but Chris is in the bedroom and he has to kick in that door too. He does gain entrance , and see's Chris's feet inside the bathroom. Supposedly hanging from inside with the rubber band up and over the door. To cause resistance the door must be closed. He reported gaining entance to Chris's bedroom and seeing Chris's feet inside the bathroom. So,,,, How is Chris hanging from the door if the door is not closed? Shall I repeat. Rinse repeat? So he see's Chris's feet and the red rubber band around his neck. Why did he NOT CALL 911!!!! He kept calling the hotel to call 911. that does not make any freaking sense. It takes 45 min. for first responders to get to Chris. forty five minutes... Ya 45 min is enough time to kill someone, clean yourself off really good. You should see the pics of Martin's hands during the fake investigation. Absolutley spotless. oh and another thing, the cops did not send the swabs of Martin's hands to the lab for analysis. Why, you say? Seems to be the familiar fuck up of the century scenario, doesn't it? First responder says have a white male, possible STRANGULATION.FROM THE 911 CALL!!! on and on and on we could go.
After my dad died of cancer, I became dead inside not caring about any other person's death for years, especially celebrities, as one of the greatest celebrities in my lief was gone and I could never speak to him again.
Until Chris died. For him, I cried like a baby for days, like he was related to me in some way!
So sorry I never saw his awesomeness live!
I've suffered with depression for nearly 20 years and I've never even tried any drugs and I rarely drink. People don't have depression because they take drugs, they take drugs because they have depression. It's a way to numb the pain.
Me too I'm tired 😢
I hope you are doing good ❤@SPT90
@@kimberlymccrary4461 not really suffering each other day
All it takes is one bad day, one hard situation, a wrong combination of circumstances to take someone out of this world. No matter how they go it is the same. This beautiful man was clearly trying to do something about his anxiety because he was on meds. And here is what shouldn't get lost , these medications can sometimes cause more problems. A guy I know on prozac stabbed himself in the chest with a butcher knife.His dose was wrong. He was lucky because his friend found him in time and he missed his heart. You can't just be prescribed a medication and not be watched. Please don't lose sight of this fact. The side effects of these meds and the way they are prescribed can sometimes do more harm than good. Rest In peace you beautiful man. We release you back into the cosmic dust from whence you came. You were living proof of the divine .
Ok, that's really strange. I know a guy who was on anti-depressants for anxiety and he stabbed himself in the chest with a butcher knife too. No joke, and he was THE LAST person of anyone I've ever known I thought would do that, ever. NO JOKE. Strange similar symptom of bad prescription meds.
Those anti-depressants, and all the new crap they try to prescribe "off label" because the ativan, valium, xanax, clonopin, and other benzos have been on the market forever, all have generics and don't make the pharmaceutical companies $$$$$ ..... They're poison. Yes, ativan is addictive, but he seemed to have someone else handle his pills, as in his 'bodyguard'... Let's ask that dude what the heck he was doing and why Chris's concerned wife had to call him from NY to tell him to check on her husband. The cliched commit suicide in a hotel, accidental or on purpose is getting old, and every one of these deaths had the same common issue, PRESCRIPTION MEDS... with other mitigating circumstances. Who knows what kind of issues were being put in front of Chris Cornell with this band's reunion --- I'm looking at the industry vultures who make the money off these guys. After a long successful career, these artists get seasoned, aren't all naive and know how to stand up for themselves, and then they're worth more to the parasites in the past tense. Prayers for Vicki, their Kids, and Chris Cornell, RIP.
india meesig Prozac made me not want to eat or sleep it was like speed to me..i can't imagine being depressed n not being able to sleep sleep is all I did when I was going through depression Zoloft helped me the most
"The side effects of these meds and the way they are prescribed can sometimes do more harm than good." that's the point. I know many sad stories about that and even some friends of mine attempted suicide when they were taking meds. It really piss me off to see that usually no one talk about that and instead they talk about depression like that was the main cause. But when you're depressed you just stay in your bed all day long doing nothing. Doctors also are responsable for not clearly saying how much those meds can be dangerous.
Beautifully written.
Reminds me of Elliott Smith :(
Just an incredible, beautiful,talented, creative, soul he was.
hi chris...you made my life precious. good luck buddy, someday we all will meet you there...
🦊 Fuck that. I'm tired of people always trying to rip you off like a telano*vuela. I'm bringing you here. Right here. Old East Dallas, TX. Because, I don't know where there is and I can't have my bones all wandering and looking around for you forever. I've come to understand that is the main thing they do. The bones. They like to move around a lot til somebody finally picks them up when they land them close enough. I don't know. I'd hate to be all scattered and roaming like i would be. Now breakfast or back to bed...I fucking love birds, I mean the way birds sound. Id come up off the hip real quick over them. Lol. 🥞☕..wywh. I'd give you pancakes coffee and pussy and go back to bed or paint or something. Instead of going crazy around this dusty mother fucker you know. After I find Orlando I can get the hell out of this city. Have a rocking day and if you are free I hope you stay that way. Ly... Smfmb.💋 👠👠🕳️🎩
@@stephanierobinson423 What the fuck??
As much as i admirer Cornell's humbleness in pointing out that the only reason why the average person who commits suicide does not get the attention they deserve is because they are not famous, i feel that Cornell uses this humbleness to draw away attention from him and his problems and redirect them at some large perspective view. A subtle defense mechanisim.
Wow what a fascinating and intelligent man who had so much insight to the problem of addiction and depression but still could not save himself. So so very sad, Love you Chris forever RIP.
I find it crazy how aware he was of these issues but was still consumed by it all. Rest in peace Chris. You are a legend.
Today I think.. . . What a precious life, soul, and fresh vocalist that speaks to our heart and mind. Peace to you Chris. I will always hear you in my soul and I will dance in the streets knowing that you have left many messages of hope through your gift as a man and of music.
Same.....
Chris Cornell had an experience he was never ill, he wasn’t understood at the time he emerged! This man was a genius spirit this world wasn’t ready for him. He will return when we discover and learn how to deal with our emotions. His words of wisdom interpreted through his unique voice. He Will always live!!
99% of interviewers are massively annoying and pushy.
The day i tried to liiivvveee!!! Such a bad ass song
This was so hard to watch. I miss the hell outta you Chris. I hope you're still rocking it on the other side of the eternal curtain.
His music keeps me alive. Rest in peace Chris
A beautiful person and kind soul. He is with all his friends that he missed so much. Lets all hope we get to see them again.
Thank you Chris for making me feel normal about my issues. And for giving me the strength the make the decision to keep going. Bless you wherever you go on the other side.
Even those you think would have more support,... Ugh my heart
Sometimes it doesn't matter how much support you have bc the feelings of Anxiety or Depression can be just Overwhelming. Very Sad to Lose such a Great Person that had such a Great Influence on so many!
yep
Depression and drug abuse are personal issues. It is not people's jobs to 'save' their friends and family. The gossip is he had relapsed many times--not just alcohol but pills. If the reports of track marks on his arm are true, he had been falling off of the wagon for the past 15 years. What about support for the friends and family of adults who refuse to control themselves? Do you know what it's like being related to an adult with a substance abuse issue? I's like permanent babysitting. Their problems overtake everything. They are viewed as childlike and unable to control their impulses and everyone around them is held responsible for their choices. I have seen countless people whine about how Chris should have had someone watching him. He was 52-years-old! He was old enough to know better.
Fatty Cakes Bullshit. Chris Cornell was Murdered. Justice for Chris Cornell. And he was a grown Man who would never hurt his kids like that. Justice for Chris Cornell. Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend.
Depression....your own ur own..end of
Chris was always very transparent about his struggles with depression and alcohol and drugs. I think what he did was a result of whatever drugs he had in his system that night and feelings of hopelessness and despair and wasn’t pre-planned.
I love you Chris. You were the ONE artist that truly made me feel I wasn't alone
. Your death still hauntes me. Nobody sings like you anymore. RiP. You will never be forgotten.
When we are alone we are stuck inside our heads. it’s like a room you can never leave.. there are ups and downs and you never really know how you gonna feel in an hour.. you never really know how you gonna react to a situation.. so sometimes you avoid going out.. i don’t like anxiety depression and bipolar.. but many of us need to stand firm and know that tomorrow might be good.. ✌️
This comment hit me hard
It's difficult at first but just focus on breathing deeply and staying present
Very true mate.
Cesar, I'm just reading your comment from 2 years ago... hoping you have made it through the dark times, and have enjoyed many many "good tomorrow"s 💕💕💕
Just came here to hear Chris and his voice. Such a great man he was!
I so miss this guy! He was so talented, so intelligent, so down to earth, so unique, genuine & real...and he had one hell of a voice & was a beast on the six string! I wish that whatever happened could have been altered. We lost a true humble rock god that was a real gentleman. You are sorely missed Chris Cornell! I hope you knew that before you left this world...
This interviewer. "Seem interested any time he looks at me. Make noises. "Absolutely, absolutely".
R.I.P Chris Cornell. A lot of people tuning into you now that might never have before.
IMO the interviewer seemed obnoxiously enthusiastic, like he was reallllllllllllllllllllly wanting Chris to know he could relate. Chris seemed like he was just trying to get through the interview. And yes, RIP dear Chris.
Lol
He was so beautiful inside and out and cared so much about people. Chris will always be missed and loved. R.I.P. Beautiful Keeper 🙏🏽🕊 still can’t believe your gone. Prayers for Vicky and your children and family and fans 🙏🏽♥️🌹♥️ can’t help but cry when I hear his beautiful voice.
He was a very sensitive and humble man. Rest easy..
I deal with insomnia and depression but And I don't focus on myself, but I focus on helping others, for example, by visiting children with terminal cancer, and I think how blessed I am, thanks to God, because these poor children were born without depression and they won't even live to be young! Don't focus so much on yourself.
Chris' last statement is absolutely 💯% true.
What a sad sad sad loss.
Thank you for the soul you gave to the world.
I discovered Soundgarden a few months after my brother died at work. This man gave me courage and joy. Thanks Chris
recently i came to know what a lot of depressed people think about mental issues and suicide, and it's really something like what he says, some just don't want to get better, some just live throught everything, till one day it´s just that, the day that you have to go. Rest in peace Chris!! be free!
candom rommenter like yourself or are you okay?
this is such an insensitive/dumb post
Hey! It's definitely not that depressed people don't want to get better--what a stupid view. More than everybody else, we'd love to feel joyful, many times it's just not possible. Pills work for about 25% of depressives and then the meds work about 50% of the time. It's been a real bitch spending 60+ years depressed with occasional glimpses into an easier life. Stay away from people who think it's as simple as mind over matter--because it isn't (don't listen to stupid psychologists with their meaningless suggestions ie. "a smile is just a frown turned upside down"). Get thee to a board certified MD who has specialized in psychiatry.
@@claytontharp8902 your just disregarding viable options and telling others to do the same. I think noone with mental illness should listen to you without trying these things first it may work well for others.
Thank you Chris for all of your words and sharing your pain. I never felt alone.
The pain will never leave... Some days it's just too hard to listen to Chris sing, some days I can listen for hours and sit in awe of his amazing talent
💔
Silence doesn't mean he doesn't know what to say next, he's articulating. Interviewer needs to catch a clue and STFU. Let him talk, if you listen closely you'll see how his mind works.
Brilliant man lyrically, vocally and musically. I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan but my heart goes to Chris everytime.
Hope you're at peace now
I break down. I cry. I let it out. Most of my life dealing with depression. But I continue. I continue and continue. But I understand. I understand. Love you brother. RIP.
rest in peace man you are an inspiration to all of us and I appreciate listening to music from a person who understands man.
This video says alot about how he had been feeling as of late
Listen to alot of the tunes.. Blow Up the Outside.. Day I Tried to Live... its all kind of right there. I love alot of these tunes too because Soundgarden and Cornelle were able to tap into the BS that alot of people feel. I'm just happy we got as much time with them as we did.
I remember reading an article with him in it, where he was talking about that people tend to go back to Nirvana and other artists lyrics and assume that that all of the lyrics were about suicide, but they actually weren't.
Chris's songs weren't about him killing himself. He's even said Blow Up The Outside world is about ending racism, and every other despicable thing that infects society, all of the cruelness. Day I Tried To Live is about being anti-social / a shut-in and running through the cycle of "Should I try to leave and be with the rest of the world, or should I stay isolated from the rest of the world as I have". Dealing with the anxieties of being around people vs being isolated and away from the world. One more time around is a metaphor for the thought of that choice.
I learned that I was a liar = I learned that I couldn't commit to taking a chance on leaving.
This is an interview to take note of people. No matter how sure your loved ones are of what they’re doing, always watch over them and save them if you can.
What an intelligent, sweet, brilliant, talented person.
I’m still in shock. The ultimate mind f. It was just Kurt Cobain for all those years and then out of nowhere Chris. His melodies are so hauntingly beautiful. Love to you Chris. Thank you guys for all the positive comments. I wonder if this post will be here years after I’m gone. Interesting to ponder upon. If you found yourself here...much love to you.
First time watching this. I wish I would have seen this the day after of. I would call Chris on the phone in concern.
Greatest Male Singer of All Time
He said it. You can't make someone get help. That's the roughest part of depression. I've been there. It's all about balance and inner strength. Most of all physical & Spiritual strength. ✌🏽 For me music is my release & Therapy. Not all music is good for your mind remember that. To me the darkest Hard Rock/ Classic Rock/ Dark Horror core rap/ or any metal will enlighten you. When you approach music don't let it control you. You must ride with it and release the demons. I just don't sit there and let it drown me. I'll pick up the drums, guitar, or bass. It's highly suggested to sing and yell with it. Most of all radio mainstream will drive you insane.
Peace to All !!!
i remember my dad playing audioslave and soundgarden for as long as i can remember. and then one day in gym, our coaches hooked up the stereo to a radio station and be yourself comes on. before i knew what was happening i was singing all the words. and everyone was saying to me "what is this" or "who even in this" and it broke my heart because they will never know talent or beauty in anyway by not knowing Chris Cornell and all he has done. Chris is an inspiration to me. A true inspiration.
He started digging into things that they, wanted to stay hidden!
He is so honest and real in this interview I love it! I have gone through the same thing and I can relate and I agree with EVERYTHING he said about addict's! Such a great mind you are so missed every day I think of you and listen to your music🎧🎼😔
*Looking back I realize this man...*
*has been in nearly every aspect of my life.* Nearly every workout, every relaxing moment, every thoughtful trans, time of soul searching, every celebration, every heartbreak.
Accepting things as they are... Im glad this was a accident and not intentional. I would to remember him burdened that way.
Been a fan of Soundgarden since I was a child. I'm 40 and still listen to them. May Chris Cornell RIP. Depression sucks but there is help.
Fly with the Angels Chris, you'll be missed, rest well brother.
As sad as it is to hear, he is very right about all this. There needs to be a lot more awareness. I can only hope people can learn from him, and we can become a more understanding society. RIP Chris Cornell...thanks for enlightening us with your words & music!
Its scary if someone like chris can struggle with depression....id sell my soul to sing like that
The pain never leaves. It haunts one night and day. We must start thinking that we must talk about what is troubling us. Rach out by just being there for someone. Let them talk while you listen. And love. Always be about love.
".. NO ONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE... "
There will never be another like Chris Cornell. 1 of a kind voice. 1 of a kind talent. Pls stop taking these beautiful souls from this life!
I Miss you ..I can't get used to that you are gone
Chris no one sings like you anymore and nothing looks the same since you left us. I always thought you were invincible. Never the same. Words cannot descibe how deeply you are missed
i miss you
we miss you Chris.....💔💔
Justice for dear Chris. Just listen to dear Chris in this interview 💚☘️🕊️
Today your family will lay you to rest. Tomorrow you will still be in out hearts and thoughts and many days to follow. Will hope to meet you in heaven some day.
What a true gift you blessed us with Chris . Thank you
Panic attack can come out of nowhere, they can also be uncontrollable. When dealing with a panic attack, an individual sets his psyche at an impulse behaviour. If he had a panic attack moments before his death, he would find the quickest and easiest way to end the torment. If you suffer from random panic attacks, i strongly encourage you to pickup meditation. You should definitely get rid of all alcohol and drogue consumption. Doping, messing with your hormones, will only make your mental illness stronger and harder to overcome. Bonus, even your bad diet can play a big role on your mental health.
Andrew Hawawini.
Definitely stop the "drogue" consumption !
Great point about meditation.
Andrew Hawawini so right. panic attacks are nothing to push off. my first one, i looked at the floor and knew in that moment i was going to die right there. sometimes you can feel one coming on. Anxiety has made me paranoid even though you try to tell yourself its just anxiety. horrible thing.
I've had panic attacks off and on since I was 15 yrs old, some periods they were worse than others. About 12 yrs ago they would last for a couple hours, that was pure torture. I sat down one day to plan out committing suicide because I just couldn't take not knowing if today was going to be the day. Luckily I bumped into someone(stranger)that knew something was up with me and started to question me. I finally admitted that I wouldn't be here tomorrow and told him why. We ended up talking for a few hours and then every day for months after. I went to the dr, got help and meds to help.
It has really only happened to me one time. I was smoking marijuana as a teenager and I randomly started hyperventilating and could not stop for at least 5-10 minutes. All other times in life including since then It has been instead just very bad anxiety attacks, but nothing that ever manifested itself so unapologetically physical like that. The mind is strange.
Andrew Hawawini true! I've dealt with that and it's not easy.
Love the point he made. Thank you.
I'd like to imagine that he and Johnny Cash are celebrating right now over finally breaking their Rusty Cages. God bless.

With depression YOU always feel sad,even when there's nothing to be
Sad about
Yeah, that’s what’s so fucking depressing !
:( Great depths of it.
Emotions playing tricks on you. It can be fixed however through better quality of diet, sleep, meditation, exercise and positive company. Remember to breathe deeply and remind yourself your here and not there
We miss you Chris. We all love you
He sounds so unhappy. It’s on his sleeve. Chester Bennington laughed alot in front of others but suffered in silence. They are 2 very different people Chris and Chester yet both suffer depression and addiction.
Depression and Anxiety is a fighting battle everyday. I hate it so much. Thoughts racing, exhausted feeling, worried about what others say and think about you, sleeping too much, not sleeping enough, feeling like you're down and out,tired all the time, not wanting to do anything but yet you want to but can't, canceling appointments or dates with people...i could go on and on. DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY ARE NOT MY FRIEND BUT TAGS ALONG WITH ME EVERYDAY.😩
I know exactly how you feel. Hate it.
no one walks in your shoes, no one knows your life,
don't judge anyone if you can,
you don't know who they are inside,
show compassion and people will surprise you and may be there the day you need them too.
He is exactly right. I can look around only to miss several old friends who didn't make it. I did, and I don't know why. My DAD just passed away at 76 right after Christmas. He had these demons........Drug and alcohol addiction is no different from any other disease. It is relentless.
I didn't really know him or even really know of him apart from their famous biggest hit. but have been watching some interviews last few days very smart real person. He reminds me of Eddie vedder in many ways
My heart still broken from lost of insanely amazing musician
Depression and self loathing and just feeling like you arent getting any happiness out of life is one of the worst things you can experience, depression will steel your time, your hope and your energy. To those who have never had that they just think that you are being dramatic or weak, only when they experience it themselves do hey know that you werent exageratting. In Chris's case he had a history of drug use from an early age, and im being honest, that is never going to help someone. We are the things we put in our body and we are also the thoughts and ideas that we contantly put in our minds year in year out with music, or visually in other ways, things do effect us, advetisers know that if we repeat ideas they get in to our minds, so be careful of what you allow in to your mind. Guard your mental health at all costs. Just to add that there is a Big Playlist of videos about Depression in the Playlist part of my channel that may be useful to people ?
When people think depression is just "feeling sad", I get so aggravated. 😤
