      100%. He is SO very missed. All my 21 grandchildren will ever have is DVD’s and that makes me so very sad because my twin grandsons have Robin William’s humor and the knack of accents like Robin had. I was so upset hearing about his suicide…little did I know that just a few years later I would be grieving the loss of my own oldest son’s death. Losing a child is horrible…just HORRIBLE regardless of their age or why you lose them. I hope no one reading this joins me on this journey.

She died in the hospital and i wasn't able to see her as Covid had ahut everything down. She also had a few delusions and she believed someone kidnapped her.

    I was diagnosed with Bi Polar illness.I was up for the most part of my life. At the age of 49 I dropped into such despair that I needed to check myself into a Mental Health Clinic. During my stay one of the clinicians told me that Robin Williams had been diagnosed with and medicated for Bi Polar.
    so I thought if he can get
    through this nightmare
    so can I. The anxiety of not measuring up, not pretty enough not the perfect body. I met a wonderful woman who tried to help me with all that the can arise, out of almost nowhere there is another add on to the original diagnosis. What she said “When broken down to Dis-Ease it makes more sense. Robin must have reached the point were he was at such dis-ease with all of the diagnoses one on top of the other. In the recovery of my first episode I watched old Mork and
    Mindy reruns and Robin on tour……thank God for Robin Williams! It is because of him
    that I am alive. ❤

If one has common sense it is a vote for getting through life without asking for a life saver each time problems come up. That is my greatest gift from God and I thank him for that. Believe me you can get through anything with common sense. Stay well Kathy.

    Wherever Robin is hanging out now, I sincerely hope he knows all the joy he brought to millions of people. His great talent as a comedian and serious actor is undeniable. I did notice during his last few years of his life, whenever I saw something of his or a clip of some interview, that there was trouble. I felt it in my gut. The light in his eyes, had dimmed. I hope peace, laughter and love surrounds him now.

A woman of color unheard of to be on a real real psychiatric ward. When I saw "One Flew Over the Coo Coo Nest, was when I really saw where I was minus the mean nurse. How blessed I was to be loved.

      John Ritter
      I mourned them all. Robin, for at least 2yrs.
      My younger son & I were homeless & I was watching MORK & MINDY reruns as a way to lol, wondering how they could ever get scenes cut w/ Robin always being so naturally funny! Then, on the hotel TV I heard them say w/one of those night time talk shows just as they were signing off, What? He's dead? Robin Williams is dead?
      The audience gasped & my heart sunk.
      They then said, We've just been informed Robin Williams has died. We don't have details, we'll give you those in a few mins on our news broadcast. & they had to finish signing off.
      I was devastated & couldn't understand how he could have committed suicide! Like the rest of the world!
      When it was explained it made perfect sense & the fact that he hung himself the same way as in one of his films also made sense.
      What was sad was he was so good at comedy he was too good at hiding his own pain.
      It's sad that he thought he had to, but that's the act he'd played all his life. I'd played that act as a child. It is a lonely show.
      RIP Robin. Maybe some day I'll be blessed enough to hear your show again. 😿😿

    I was born in 1984. I don’t ascribe to the celeb obsessed culture that seemingly exists worldwide nowadays . . . That being said there are 2 actors whose death had a very real heart felt, the world is lesser now because of their passing- impact on me.
    Robin Williams and Gene Wilder. As far as favorite roles of Robins - I loved his performance in what dreams may come, Hook, and Goodwill Hunting. Another reason I adore and will watch anything he is a part of is due to his stand up special Live on Broadway.
    I walked in on my parents watching the dvd of it and realized that it was the first time I had ever heard my mother’s real authentic laugh as she was cry laughing watching Robins standup.

    Thank you for this. I understand why he couldn't live w/ his misdiagnosis. I hope they have a better way of diagnosing & treating since then.
    I was literally watching Mork & Mindy reruns. Loling & wondering how many takes they had to do to get one show done.
    Then I saw on TV, a Late Night Talk Show ending. They said, What? He's dead? Robin Williams is dead?
    The audience did a collective gasp. Then, they said, We've just been informed Robin Williams has been died. We'll have more details on our next News Broadcast in a few minutes.
    I was, like the audience, in shock! How could I be loling at his old shows just to hear this?!
    I mourned for more than 2yrs!
    John Ritter was another one, but Robin Williams had done much more than John.
    I'm sorry he was suffering, & his personality didn't let him ask for help. He was on a talk show just a couple nights b4, but being Robin, hiding his pain. So sad. 😿😿

    You have explained much. Much I never knew. But I say. I will swear it was Robin Williams divorces that destroyed him. The HUGE LOSSES OF WEALTH- HIS NAPA VALLEY RANCH stolen that overcame him. I have read very soulful accounts of this from Robin. God Bless Him. Such a funny man. A comedy genius. I think of him every day. I miss him. He lived a half hour from me in Tiburon.

      You can blame his "DIVORCES" all you like but you're blaming the women he CHOSE to marry for destroying him unless you're suggesting he made poor choices by marrying three times and divorcing his wives. He was a grown man who made his own choices in life.

    How fearful it must be to lose yourself to an undiagnosed disease, especially one as devastating as the form of dementia he had. I'm not me anymore, someone else is here and I don't know what to do with him, don't know him. No one can tell you why, what's happening. That just sounds so awful. I truly do hope Robin is at peace, and feels it. 🙏

    I miss Robin Williams because of his genuine comedic humor which delighted us all to laugh. What is sad he didn't have spouses that would support him but were with an open hand asking for more and more. I believe that can be detrimental to anyone's good health to be in that kind of relationship which I believe Robin knew each one were the same but with different faces. He had friends but why burden those friends you love when you know something is definitely wrong with you. You eventually take it upon yourself to fix it. Sorry you left us so soon - may you rip dear Robin.

    UNPOPULAR OPINION! To be completely honest, I don't blame him at all for ending his life. I've known someone with Lewy Body Dementia, they lived for 25 years after diagnosis(which is extra long). This person was like an older adult mentally but regressed to an infant or toddler level, with terrifying schizophrenia-like hallucinations. They couldn't understand spoken words but would yell, scream, and cry constantly for years. It seemed like they were definitely in their own world, unable to see us, and could no longer speak English. They had a language of grunts, sounding like someone speaking in tongues, and saw things only they could. It was wild and mixed with screams. They spent many years in a nursing home, and the last I knew, they were still alive. They would smear feces on their face and walls and sometimes crawl around, searching for miniature trolls that they believed were torturing them(back when they could still speak to explain what they could see). That was the Lewy Body Dementia person I knew. If Robin Williams was facing a similar fate, or mentally whatever his fate was... I don't blame him, and he might not have even known what he was doing because the disease can be that devastatingly confusing of reality to lost. It's torture, and I think the person I knew was calling out for their deceased mother bc they believed they were a child again. In a world of trolls. It was heartbreaking. No meds helps really & legally doctors wouldn't order anything to sedate.
