'I Really Don't Want to Be on This Earth Anymore'


Way to tell everyone you've got Borderline PD! Maybe if he weren't such a LibTard bigot he wouldn't be "harassed" so much.

The 'SNL' star posted the note on Instagram, saying ... "i really don't want to be on this earth anymore. i'm doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don't know how much longer i can last."

Just 2 weeks ago, Davidson went off on online trolls for harassing and bullying him, telling them he wouldn't kill himself no matter how hard they tried to get him to. Ariana responded not long afterward, telling her fans to "be gentler" with Pete and others ... saying she cares deeply about him and his health.

As you know, it's been a turbulent year for Pete. He got engaged to Grande and then they split, and he also had to deal with a controversy on 'SNL' for making a joke about a wounded vet.

He handled the vet thing pretty well. Came out looking ok

And we don't want him.

Comedians/comic actors tend to suffer from depression.

Bipolar. Very obvious in Robin Williams.

The gifts: creativity in mania certainly helps comedians and actors; the mind runs in a million different directions, and new and funny and smart ideas pour out. Williams was a walking manic episode in many of his interviews and skits. Sometimes a person can have mild to moderate manic symptoms all the time, as part of his or her personality, called “hyperthymic” temperament, the opposite of “dysthymic” temperament. In keeping with the stigma and discrimination against bipolar illness, dysthymia is well-known and part of the DSM nosology; hyperthymia was never included in DSM systems, and is little known among mental health clinicians, much less the larger public.

Robin Williams was physically ill, too. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's, but the autopsy revealed Lewy body dementia, an aggressive and incurable brain disorder that has an associated risk of suicide.

Excellent book excerpt about the last months of his life and his struggle.

Er, not all of Williams's manic behavior was due to bipolar disorder, sometimes he snorted his way to a state of high energy that looked like mania but wasn't. But yeah, Williams had Lewy Body Dementia at the end, and I'd probably deal with that the way he did. It's a terrible, incurable illness, and he spared both himself and his family a lot of suffering.

I've heard that Davidson has Borderline Personality Disorder, not bipolar. If so, I don't hold out a lot of hope for his having a long and stable career.

reply

I hope he figures out a way to make it come to fruition.
