I've been re-watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations lately, and while he doesn't outwardly scream I HAVE DEPRESSION, there are things he says here and there that you may take as a joke, but could very well be an insight into his real feelings in retrospect.

u/Milhousesburner2 Aug 14 '25
He was talking clearly to people like him during that show. Inside every cynical person is a broken idealist. He's like so many that are idealists who see reality for what it is. Cynicism can quickly spital to depression if not actively managed

He also traveled to places and faced the realities of brutal poverty in a way 99% of people do not. Have you ever eaten a meal in front of starving kids? Gone to a landfill to see that kids aren't in school, they're spending their day sifting through trash trying to find stuff to sell to help their family buy food. He faced some serious shit head on. That would fuck most people up.

I went to one of those in Esteli, Nicaragua. It was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life.
The trash piles are almost constantly on fire, causing heavy smoke that they breathe every day. I was being attacked by hundreds of flies, and those people are so used to them that they would have dozens on their face like it was nothing.
They are there every single day sifting through trash to make a couple dollars a day, and living in shacks right next to the burning trash. Yet, they still offered us their own water bottles and soda since we were guests to their community. I didn't eat the entire rest of the day

in my most depressed times is when I watched the most Anthony Bourdain. It’s very subtle, but if you’ve been to the kind of depths that have you chronically truly wishing you would rather not be here, you can see it all over him and how he interacts that he struggled with it deeply. He made me feel less alone in my darkest times

Anderson Cooper once interviewed Colbert, and Colbert said something that I have taken to heart.
Colbert said that he was thankful of experiencing the things he wished he had never had to experience because those things made him thankful of his existence, because being alive is a gift and suffering is part of being alive. Im paraphrasing here, but thats kind of the gist of it. You can look it up and see him saying it, and that shit made me snap out of all my dark thoughts for some reason.
I kinda went on a tangent, but yeah… we are not alone, we all are dealing with this mess, but our highs will always overshadow our lows.

The lyrics to hybrid theory certainly seem like they could be coming from a place of depression, and Chester was certainly the lead singer…
But interestingly enough, most of the lyrics came from Mike Shinoda. For example, “A Place For My Head” was written by Mike before Chester was even part of the band.

The post doesn't mention suicide, just depression. Making poor health choices can be a sign of depression. Particularly doing things in excess, because you're searching for dopamine anywhere you can. E.g. over eating, drinking excessively, and ESPECIALLY overdosing on drugs. Which is what happened to Chris Farley.

I wasn’t always like this, so I want them to remember me as I was, not how I am now; which is where the agoraphobia kicks in. I used to be a happy person overall, then the abuse and trauma id been suppressing hit all at once 3 years ago after an accident left me immobile for 6 months. I’ve been a shell of myself ever since.

How can we get you back? Hell, how can we move you forward to an even better place? Somebody who's dealt with this trauma and is no longer susceptible to it? (I got hit with surprise trauma two years ago. Fucked me up for a bit. I hear you.)

I think what I miss most is comfortable general companionship with friends who wouldn’t judge me for being a hermit but at the same time help support me getting better and vice versa. Then again, I’m kind of scared of that too. I lost my ride or die along with realizing the people in my art/music community I just didn’t gel with anymore. And I really miss dancing.

Mac Miller was depressed. He did drugs. He died of an overdose.
But he did not kill himself by overdosing voluntarily, he also didn’t overdose because of his own mistake. He also openly talked about his mental struggles in his music.
He overdosed because his dealer knowingly sold him drugs that were heavily laced with fentanyl. Another person died off that same batch just a few days before Mac Miller. His dealer knew this but didn’t want to take the batch out of circulation, he kept on selling it off, without giving any warning.

I’ve had that approach done to me where someone says “maybe you should talk to a psychologist” or “oh yeah well I’ve had it worse” when all you need is a hug and someone to show you they actually care.

My Aunt (father’s sister ) tried to have me committed once for absolutely no reason because I hadn’t done enough packing before she arrived to help me move out of my dorm at 18. I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until many many years later, but I now know that I was overwhelmed and in paralysis at the time which is absolutely no reason to have someone committed. My mother was furious with her and hasn’t spoken with her since.
But that interaction with her has made me fear telling anyone about my real feelings for the rest of my life. My mother is the only person I can trust with these things and when I was having suicidal thoughts a few weeks ago, I was too afraid to tell my psychiatrist, but I told my mom and she helped save me because she’s understanding and caring instead of reactive. I’m doing much better now with her support. 💖

The funny thing about this, its true. This is my face most days, but deep down im just a broken man, trying to do my best to make sure no one else feels as bad as I do.
I was teased and picked on by my family on my mother's side ever since I could remember, my first memory is breaking my leg and my mother calling me a liar. Everyone on my mother's side treated me badly because they didn't like my father.
My grandparents would go on vacation every year and take one grandkid with them everytime, there was 7 of us. I never got to go once with them, while my cousins went multiple times.
My mother tried to adopt one of my cousins once because she loved him more than me (only child)
One time I took a nap during the summer when I was 14, and asked my mother if she was going to go get ice cream at Friendly's to wake me up. Well, I woke up must have been maybe 10 minutes after they left. I woke up in an empty house because they snuck out.
The last time I spoke to her she told me "I hope you rot in hell" because I wont put up with her anymore.
She never wanted to visit me, and also never wanted to spend time at her brother's, well my ex-wife cheated on me with my uncle, and now my mother goes up there to see him all the time.
I ran away 3 different times and not once did my mother look for me, two times I left out my window before she got up, she didn't look for me all day, or night until I got scared because I heard coyotes in the woods I was hiding in. I was gone from 6am- 11pm. When I asked if she knew I was gone, she said nope, and didn't care.
I never got help with my homework, she didn't even look at it. Even when I sat at the table from the minute I got home from school until 9pm when I was too tired to go be awake anymore.
I really dont know why not many people dont like me, I try my best to be funny, and kind. People try walking over me all the time, and I try to stand up for those who need help. I help everyone I can, asking first ofc. I wish I had friends who liked me, and didn't want to just use me. It seems thats all im good for, being used.

I saw a post just a few days ago that showed two British gentlemen, that always went to the football games together. One man was always jovial as could be enjoying his time at the game, laughing poking his friend and enjoying his time. The other man was quite subdued, while enjoying his time there in the game, he seemed much more, perhaps, depressed as he wasn’t as outspoken or jovial as his friend. Turns out the jovial chap took his own life, while the subdued more reluctant fellow carried on. Suicide rarely has red light alarms. They are subtle and they are long brewing. That said those alarms are very hard to distinguish. So be diligent and kind and loving to your loved ones. The signs are small, but they are there. If you see them, please don’t dismiss them and just be there for your loved ones. Many times just a kind word or the knowledge that someone else cares can help.

Yep. Check on your always kind and helpful friends. They’re dying inside.

Had a family friend, he was a really cool guy, and for a period of time he seemed quite depressed. One day we meet him and he’s his jolly self again, and a week later I get the news that he took his own life. It’s a sad reality I didn’t (and couldn’t) comprehend at the time, I just wish I could see the signs sooner.

Wait didn’t the FBI admit to assassinating Marilyn Monroe in the latest unclassified documents? They made her death look like a suicide but it in fact wasn’t.

So true a friend of mine took his own life last week and he was always smiling so much pain behind his smile I never knew about.

Weren’t a lot of them also working against child sex trafficking in America? I never looked into it but I remember seeing something about the cause of deaths and a few of them being linked to something like that.

There are one or two people in that group that did not take their own lives. Ignored evidence and obvious payoffs. At this point it's not even conspiracy just common sense. Cough Courtney Cough

usually depressed people are masters at hiding their depression. it can be very difficult to tell unless you're very close with them - and even then..

I loved the art EVERY SINGLE ONE of these people made. Chris Cornell hurt the most. If y'all are feeling isolated, please reach out you'd be shocked how much we love you

They were all murdered that's why dealing with powerful people you get killed blacklisted called crazy or just disappear

Stop diagnosing people you are not a doctor, and even if you were: They are not your patients.

With the talks about the Zelda movie it makes me fucking sad since he'd have both wanted to and KILLED IT in whatever role they'd give him.

An unwillingness to let someone die their death, is an unwillingness to let them live their life. Trying to save those who cannot be saved, (that is all of us) is a futile effort. We are here to be spent, and how we spend our lives is up to us. At bottom, many of us just want to be left alone in the endeavor. It’s usually an ugly and undignified final fist-full of dollars.

Who care about details when you have an emotionally manipulative meme to share. These people don’t care about being exploited, they’re dead. Who cares!

As someone with depression I have to say that I strongly agree the first thing you learn is to hide it.

Bourdain and Philip hit me the hardest for some reason, not to say the others aren’t tragic, perhaps it’s my age. Just check out possibly IMO one of Philips greatest scenes, just incredible.

Depression can be a lot of things. Not all depressed people are all smiles and positivity, stop promoting this fantasy. It is harmful to actually depressed people.

Oh yeah. I'm not the funnest, but I'm thinking about it. Nor am I screaming out for help. My GF knows the most about what's going on but my buddies think I'm a fucking idiot.
I have a plan. I know at some point I'll call it quits.
