At that point I wasn't thinking logically or in touch with reality where I thought death was the best option in solving whatever issue flipped that switch even though that issue was incredibly minor.

Thankfully, I have grown out of that even though from time to time the thoughts still creep in but I am able to dismiss them.

You have to understand that with people with the suicidal ideation when that trigger goes off in their mind, they aren't thinking rationally or logically.




Dude, thanks for posting this and putting yourself out there. You nailed it. So many people posting in this thread that don't have a clue.

That's a shame, RIP.

No kidding, despicable.

It's not good to ridicule the passed, but I have zero respect for this man.

I'm pretty gutted by this one. Bourdain is one of my biggest inspirations as far as getting out there and seeing the world. When I was saving every nickle I could for months at a time to go someplace exotic with whatever measily paid time off I could get from work, it was his shows that motivated me.

I loved kitchen confidential. I loved the fact that he’d lived a pretty tough life as a chef before he got his break later in life. There’s lots of travel shows on TV but Bourdain was one of a kind.

Think of the children. The children.

My grandmother on the other side is going through the same thing.

My dad's dad became bed ridden, but he was plum happy. He was an independent bastard too. If I end up half the man he was I will be a raving success.

As a person that had the gun loaded and yelling at my girlfriend in 1993 to get out of the bathroom and let me kill myself, before she didn't and wouldn't let me die. I feel awful for Mr. Bourdain and the pain/anger he felt in the years, months, weeks, days and moments leading up to this. When you get to that point you are not yourself. You are convinced everyone would be better off without you and you are suffering. RIP Anthony Bourdain.

How convenient for the NWO.

I’ve heard despicable and loser thrown out there - I sure hope the 20 veterans that commit suicide daily don’t have kids.

Yeah, not a good look for some people in this thread...

It was apparently all just too much for the man who had everything, or something?

Such a hard one to understand, watched and learned from his shows all the time... RIP
