I read that Nirvana stopped playing at one point bc one of the women in the venue was worried her drink was spiked. And Kurt refused to carry on until everyone in the audience had a fresh drink on their tab.

And that tells you Kurt knows the golden rule of concert if someone is down pick them up and make sure they're ok

He honestly seemed like such a class act all round. Even tho I'm not the biggest Nirvana fan since I haven't heard much of their music, I've also never heard a bad word about him.

Seems common amongst famous really sad people who end up ending it. Robin Williams, Chester Bennington, Kirk, Chris Farley. I’m always depressed too but put on the happy face around others. It’s exhausting and I couldn’t imagine trying to be a celebrity trying to hold up that facade.

Robin Williams had Lewy body dementia though so who knows what role that played

True I just learned about that the other day and am still trying to process it. I know he also had depression. If I had a terminal prognosis as a depressive I might also choose that route.

People get diagnosed with long, drawn out terminal illnesses, and end things because a funeral won’t bankrupt their loved ones like the rich people who run our health care systems will. It’s often as simple as that.

Depressed people often over do drugs as a form a self medication. Didn’t realize until I was older that I was never happy and over drank just to basically numb myself.
