I was so shocked to hear of Robin Williams' passing. Shocked, saddened, and tearful. Strange to shed tears for someone I never knew, but felt as if I'd known all my life. He was, as you all probably know, bipolar. He was also a genius, a consumate actor, comedian, and a warm, loving, and generous human being. I particularly loved 'Awakenings' and 'What Dreams May Come'. The world has lost a great man. That's about all I can say. I just read this quote, and thought that it covers it all:
"There are many talented, legendary, iconic people in this world but Robin WIlliams could be set aside in a category apart from everyone else," said Robyn Knapton Ridgley, a Hollywood writer/producer who worked with Williams in the past. "His scintillating genius I treasure to this day."

I am sad, that he is gone. But I really enjoy the tributes that have
been on tv. I really wish all people with issues of Depression, and bi-polar would be treated so well. He will be missed. Donna

I listened to an interview with nPR show- fresh air: terry gross from a few years ago where he said that he did not have bipolar. Interesting.

Oh my goodness. I will miss him. I first saw Robin on a "Happy Days"rerun. He said,"No sudden moves''as if he were talking to a person with mental health issues.
I thought that he was older,but he just turned 63. I don't know what to say,but we know some of what he went through on this forum. I wish that I could have talked to him.  BF

I think he was one of the best, if not the best, comedic actors of all time. Such a tragic loss.
Over and over again, we are hearing now that he was always "on." I do wonder about that....surely escaping or avoiding something. Yes, it seems to me that he exhibited bipolar symptoms, for sure. But, he also seemed to avoid that word and/or dx. But experts know that this was likely the case. Can't help but wonder if it went so far as for him to not take the proper meds. One positive is that so many now are talking about mental illness and the need for better treatment, care, understanding. This is a very good thing. |
