Normie?

Right. Mikey is off base here.

Is Dane his neighbor by any chance?

No kidding. But normie? I've already posted my own personal experiences with depression. But some are more prone to deal with the slings and arrows of life in a certain way too. Not all depression originates internally,sometimes some losses can trigger it as it did in my case. My point was he was an alcoholic who was sober for many, many years. It was reported he was encountering financial problems which may have triggered a relapse into his drinking again after many, many years of sobriety. Just being the messenger.

He is always off base.

Robin Williams Had ‘Serious Money Troubles’ In Months Before His Death, Claims Friend — Was The Pressure Too Much?

...a source close to the Mrs. Doubtfire star tells RadarOnline.com that in addition to his addiction struggle, the actor recently confided to a family friend that he had “serious money troubles,” and was worried about his family’s financial security.

According to a family friend who had spoken to Williams recently, “All he could talk about were serious money troubles. There were clearly other issues going on and Robin sounded distant during the telephone conversation. Robin was known for being so generous to his friends and family during the height of his success, and would help anyone out that needed it.”

There was also frustration that Robin expressed at having to take television and movie roles he didn’t want to take, but had to for the paycheck,” the source said, referencing his recently announced decision to film Mrs. Doubtfire 2. “Doing sequels was never Robin’s thing, and he wasn’t that excited at having to reprise the role of Mrs. Doubtfire, which was scheduled to start filming later this year.”


He also recently worked on Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, the third installment in that franchise.

In addition, Williams revealed in a Parade Magazine interview last year, that he took a role on the now-defunct CBS show The Crazy Ones because he needed the paycheck.

“The idea of having a steady job is appealing,” Williams told the magazine. “There are bills to pay. My life has downsized, in a good way.”

“I’m selling the ranch up in Napa,” he said of his $35 million Villa Sorriso. “I just can’t afford it anymore.”

hough Williams had one of Hollywood’s most enduring careers, divorce — from first wife Valerie Velardi in 1988, and from second wife, Marsha Garces in 2008 — had gutted his bank account.

“Divorce is expensive,” he recently said. “I used to joke they were going to call it ‘all the money’, but they changed it to ‘alimony’. It’s ripping your heart out through your wallet.”

With financial pressures weighing, the insider said that the cancellation of The Crazy Ones in May sent him spiraling.

“Robin slipped into a deep depression,” the source said. “He felt embarrassed and humiliated that the show had been a failure. It was very hard for Robin to accept. Here he was in his sixties, and forced to take a role on television for the money. It’s just not where he thought he would be at this point in his life.”

He called Palin crazy then slit his own wrists while hanging himself. Talk about pot calling kettle black.

May he RIP wherever he now is.

Explains a lot. Thanks for the post.

ROFL again they have stated over and over he didn't relapse.

reports state HE DID NOT RELAPSE.

You're a piece of shit.

I was apparently one of the 10 people on the planet that kind of liked "The Crazy Ones". :(

I seriously doubt money was the issue that ultimately did him in.

He was a text book case of bipolar disorder. It's been known for years that he had manic and depressive periods.

My wife and I actually discussed him a few months ago and she said it wouldn't be surprising if he killed himself in the near future. Bipolar people tend to self medicate (alcohol and they usually have a fondness for stimulants). They also tend to eschew psychiatric medicines because they enjoy their manic periods.

I doubt that's where it originated, but it certainly could be the straw that broke the camel's back. Money issues have been known to bring the strongest of will's to their knee's.
