Who else is actually pretty shaken up by the fact his death has just been ruled a "suicide by hanging"?

I didn't want to believe it.

It was quite saddening to think too that it was even of a shock to those close with him. I couldn't imagine what kind of pain he must've felt, but at the same time I can. It's just all so sad.

I'm also in that space emotionally, where I can't believe it, but yet I can because I've also been in that place of just hurting so much all you want is for the pain to stop, no matter the cost.

I am really sad and hurting over this...

It hurts me as he was a hero of mine. I wrote another thread, not seeing this one before I made it. I quoted this from my favorite Audioslave song:

"In dreams until my death
I will wander on"

That song helped me to recognize and also got me through a lot of pain

I'm glad I can post about this here, where other people understand. Today has been so rough in general, with first hearing about Chris. And now my dad is in the hospital out of town. He has been incubated, on a breathing machine, and he must undergo a blood transfusion. I am not coping well.

I always feel a wave of sadness hearing about celebrities committing suicide, especially when no one around then recognized or was aware there was a possibility. It makes me wonder what my friends or family would be thinking in that situation. Would they blame themselves for not realizing and doing something?

Also, though, I had a friend (loosely using that word) on Facebook make a comment about this that was highly inappropriate and rather insulting to anyone who has ever felt suicidal, let alone attempted. Sent him a message, and unfriended. Not gonna sit by and just ignore it and feel mad because I didn't say anything. But, also very tired of his B.S. at this point.
