RJ Mitte (Walt Jr) has passed 😥

[u/Boring_Elevator3817]

Wow, I was shocked to hear this. They are saying it was suicide. So sad. He was only 34 years old. RIP, Flynn ❤️

[u/blonde_taurus]

as someone who is struggling with these thoughts, it feels like it’s hitting me extra hard. i hope he is at peace

[u/seismicqueef → u/blonde_taurus]

Same here. Stay with us friend

[u/YogurtclosetNew9676 → u/seismicqueef]

You stay here, too! The worlds needs you both. I understand how despairing life can sometimes feel. Please stay here and fight on until happiness shows up at your door.

[u/IndicationOver → u/seismicqueef]

2026 is a rough year for many and won't get better in 2027

Celebrity suicides like this hit people hard, I wish the both for you, I an everyone mental health who has struggles to prosper

[u/Klutzy_Garlic_4421 → u/blonde_taurus]

Please seek professional help, you are loved and not alone. I mean this wholly and truly.

[u/blonde_taurus → u/Klutzy_Garlic_4421]

damn i didn’t think anyone would see my comment. this means so much to me

[u/MathsNerd1996 → u/blonde_taurus]

Get a therapist ASAP, anyone can get out of their situation. You have loads of options you don't realise existed to you.

You have my full support. If you need help, it's available.

[u/wimbokcfa → u/MathsNerd1996]

What if I’ve tried all the options? All the meds? And the PTSD and depression just always come back?

[u/MathsNerd1996 → u/wimbokcfa]

change your life, completely

[u/wimbokcfa → u/MathsNerd1996]

I’m out of time and money

[u/dunkinbagels → u/wimbokcfa]

You’re not alone and you never will be. Don’t give up

[u/jacobo → u/blonde_taurus]

we see your comment, and i am rooting for you. You are our internet amigo. :)

[u/TheTrekker98 → u/blonde_taurus]

DMs open if you ever wanna talk / vent about anyth 🫂♥️

[u/Vigilante174 → u/TheTrekker98]

Echoing this. Reach out for anything, I mean anything. Even if it's to vent about how the grocery store rearranged things and threw off your balance for the day. Nothing is too small. Reach out. Here anytime to respond. 🖤

[u/r0ckchalk → u/blonde_taurus]

In the end, it will all be okay. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end!

[u/EstablishmentNo5013 → u/blonde_taurus]

You’re not alone.

[u/MLMkfb → u/blonde_taurus]

You are loved. We are here showing you that people care! Please let someone know what’s going on. Get help! We would miss you!

[u/Open_Gazelle6348 → u/Klutzy_Garlic_4421]

It’s not that easy. Some of us aren’t able to get insurance and some of us already know exactly what’s wrong. A therapist and meds can only do so much. They can’t change the other people and/or situations that are driving these emotions.

[u/MainLimp4695 → u/Open_Gazelle6348]

Exactly. Some people have explored all conventional options and are told they have some sort of obligation to “stick it out”.

[u/Zylpherenuis → u/Klutzy_Garlic_4421]

You say that then people using these programs are loaded into a A.I Algorithm in which patient data is fed and sold into data to nearby brokers on information you give unto them.

Anything you say will not be private. Ever. It will be sold and it will be used to trained Artificial intelligence on how to make a mentally unwell compliant once more giving them a false sense of calm onto them with false scenarios that they have once again control of their livelihood.

[u/FutureUse5633 → u/Klutzy_Garlic_4421]

You try and get professional help and its bad

[u/prochoicesistermish → u/FutureUse5633]

It can be, it can also be great. It’s brave to try. I’m not trying to discount your experience, I’ve had some that were lacking too, but I don’t want others to be discouraged from trying.

[u/eatmorepies23 → u/FutureUse5633]

It helps a lot of people...and if it didn't help you, perhaps you just didn't get the right therapist or meds for you.

If anyone's having these thoughts and is stuck...please keep searching for help.

Edit: a lot of hotlines are available here.

[u/Flaky-Pop-3083 → u/blonde_taurus]

Same. I hope you have therapy or someone good to talk to. I pray for you and I pray for strength for you. Tomorrow is a whole new day. You are loved! God bless. 🙏 💕 🥰

[u/birdele → u/blonde_taurus]

The world is better with you in it, I can promise you that.

[u/Better-Economics200 → u/blonde_taurus]

😢😢

[u/theHrayX → u/blonde_taurus]

please stay with us, i always battle these thoughts daily

[u/HelicopterOk3124 → u/blonde_taurus]

I'm only just starting to come out of the bleakest, blackest depression I've ever experienced (for perspective, I'm in my 50s) over a lifetime of these types of challenges, and...all I can say to you is please stay with us.

[u/blonde_taurus → u/HelicopterOk3124]

i’m 30 and have struggled more than half of my life. in the nicest and most sincere way possible how do you do it?! some days the most minor inconveniences feels like the sky is falling. i feel so weak

[u/HelicopterOk3124 → u/blonde_taurus]

That element ("some days the most minor inconveniences feels like the sky is falling") is DEEPLY relatable. I'm not entirely positive how I got through certain parts of my 20s and 30s...enormous difficulty finding the right meds, therapists, psychiatrists (some of this is ongoing)...I look back on a lot of questionable coping behaviors (escapism through substances and other bad compulsive habits).

In terms of how I'm here NOW? Some of it honestly feels like luck, but I dunno....maybe there was always SOME sort of sense of purpose or something keeping me going (like, JUST enough, you know?). I can tell you that I very nearly drowned in the ocean (riptide) when I was 30, and was absolutely positive at that moment that I very much wanted to live - something about having those feelings put to that kind of test might have demonstrated something kind of crucial. These days? Things were more fine than not for a long time...until they weren't (at some point this summer). My general mood went very dark, and I was just....impossibly "blue" for lack of a better word. Day after day. I can tell you that on my worst day, the very thought of hurting my wife and kids by "doing something" made it a non-starter. That was enough to keep me going through a period of severely diminished purpose and pleasure. I'm in an intensive outpatient program (which is mostly covered by my insurance and I can manage the copay) now (have been for a couple of weeks), and...although I was DEEPLY skeptical about anything involving a "group" setting, and only consented with the assurance that it was 100% voluntary and I could stop at any time, I actually look forward to it every morning (it's 3 hrs. a day M-F), and...yes, there has been a SIGNIFICANT change in my ability to feel good.

[u/PowerResponsibility → u/blonde_taurus]

Fight it. Keep fighting it, every day. Things can and will get better.

[u/blonde_taurus → u/PowerResponsibility]

thank you for the kind words. fighting it is exhausting. all i wanna do is sleep. i hope it all goes away soon

[u/Evening_Dependent542 → u/blonde_taurus]

I’m now old enough to have a son struggling with depression as I did many years ago. I’m not going to tell you some anonymous BS that it’s easy or quick, but I will say there is light ahead, please know that people love you and talk to them. 

[u/OneBillPhil → u/Evening_Dependent542]

I am someone’s son that was pretty damn depressed a couple of years ago. It didn’t happen overnight but I’m as good as ever, honestly the whole thing feels kind of silly now. 

[u/LittleAleta → u/Evening_Dependent542]

Why are so many people depressed nowadays I don't get it?

[u/Evening_Dependent542 → u/LittleAleta]

In my case, because I had an “incident” with my teen son a week ago, in general, probably because of how online we are. Im not going around being a Radiohead song or anything but this shit scares me when anyone even hints at self harm

[u/LittleAleta → u/Evening_Dependent542]

Online shouldn't cause depression. Idk why it does. It has its problems but those problems shouldn't be comparable to physical abuse and death.

[u/iminlovewithbadthing → u/Evening_Dependent542]

just FYI "know that people love you and talk to them" can be a hurtful statement because there are people who are not loved, who don't have anyone.

[u/yournutsareonspecial → u/blonde_taurus]

I hear this. Sometimes you just want it to stop- but ending it means everything stops forever. That might honestly sound like a good thing sometimes, but just keep pushing. Everything is temporary, both the good times and the bad times. You're not alone.

[u/NoAttention9217 → u/yournutsareonspecial]

Stay strong everyone. A lot of changes will happen soon in all of our lives. Just hanging in there.

[u/PViZion → u/blonde_taurus]

I know this probably won't help you right in this moment, but it will some day. Because you're going to hear it from others in one way or another time after time. We love you, we care about you. 

Please build yourself up, because one day I might need your help, and I'd want someone who understood my struggle who I could look up to, to help me out of the hole. 

[u/StatisticianRoyal400 → u/blonde_taurus]

I'm going through something similar but all the therapies I have tried have never recommended you fight your thoughts. Anyone who is recommending you to eternally fight a ghost(your intangible thoughts) doesn't know what you're going through. I'm reading "The Happiness Trap" by Russ Harris and it's been the most helpful. He is very very open and honest about the goals of this therapy(ACT), as well as what are NOT the goals. I'm listening to it on Audible and it's great. Lots of advice on here is well meaning but ignorant or empty. Try some of this book if you have time.

[u/Relative-Stable-8247 → u/PowerResponsibility]

Does it always get better, the thoughts are really eating away at me, and im tired boss

[u/Slight-University839 → u/PowerResponsibility]

Yea gotta fight. Find a reason to fight: a goal or something. giving ip is usually not an option in 95% of scenarios. the other 5% would be like devastating unbearable living conditions . if your relatively healthy and not literally retarted or super disfigured you should always fight. If it's just a temporary shitty scenario just get through it. ie job loss. minor injury, heart break etc are not reasons to give up. although a mixture of these opens up a case. but not by much. most times its still solvable . no offense to anyone literally retarted or disfigured beyond recognition.

[u/StatisticianRoyal400 → u/PowerResponsibility]

How do you know it will get better? You don't. Try not to give impossible platitudes to someone that is suffering

[u/broken_pottery → u/blonde_taurus]

DM if you want to talk about it. <3

[u/ChloeQuickFlicks → u/blonde_taurus]

I can promise you that the world is better with you in it. Please stay strong 💪

[u/machinesarenotpeople → u/blonde_taurus]

You are not alone! Stay with us and try to find help. If you are depressed or anxious, these conditions makes it hard for you to mentalise how it would be to no longer be depressed or anxious, which could make it harder to seek help. Please do, it matters!

Ps. I took a quick look at your profile, and have to say you are REALLY good at coloring. Take this from someone who has been working as a professional artist. Nice job, keep it up!

[u/Independent_Cat4768 → u/blonde_taurus]

In another blonde Taurus who’s having a hard time rn, I get it. Hang in there it’ll get so much better ❤️

[u/Xenophonuscrete → u/blonde_taurus]

You are loved and you matter to a lot of people and this world needs you in it.

[u/DylanBrandonSandwich → u/blonde_taurus]

Please get help. I’ve been there and wouldn’t have gotten out on my own. There’s beauty and kindness in life. Stick around for it. Sending you love.

[u/blonde_taurus → u/DylanBrandonSandwich]

ty sandwich ♡ i’m on the tail end of ketamine therapy and i don’t know what else to do

[u/Efficient_Working_82 → u/blonde_taurus]

Stay with us please. I went through the same shit and I eventually got out of it. Trust me this will get better with some professional help. Keep fighting

[u/Fantasykyle99 → u/blonde_taurus]

I know it may be a big decision but checking myself into a mental health hospital 5 years ago saved my life. I had one failed attempt prior to that as well. Haven’t had any suicidal thoughts in over 4 years and leading a much happier life.

[u/blonde_taurus → u/Fantasykyle99]

i was contemplating this but heard mixed opinions. some say they don’t do anything to help and some say it changed their life. i feel like i’m being dramatic if i go because i have no intent of doing anything. i don’t want to be seen as just wanting attention

[u/Budget_Philosophy_65 → u/blonde_taurus]

rather you be dramatic than you be dead tbh

[u/Specific-Welder3120 → u/blonde_taurus]

I almost offed myself at my 27th birthday. The year after was the best year of my life. I did put a lotta effort and it finally payed off, hang on there

[u/ScienceWill → u/blonde_taurus]

Day by day we can get to a better place and there IS love and support just it’s not often not as easy to find

[u/Ok_Meat_5767 → u/blonde_taurus]

Look how the reaction is to this guy death. Don't let your loved ones have the same reaction to yourself♥️ I'd break my soul too if you did what is alleged here. Seek help. It is never to late

[u/GallowmanGallows → u/blonde_taurus]

As others have said, seek help and talk to someone. Things might seem tough now, but just remember that they will get better and brighter and you won't always feel like this!

[u/OneBillPhil → u/blonde_taurus]

There isn’t much in life that you can’t come back from. Whatever it is, you can turn it around. There are people that would miss you. If you’re not already, see your doctor and start doing the work to get yourself right. 

[u/QuirkyWish3081 → u/blonde_taurus]

You stay safe. I was suicidal, I got arrested and got taken to hospital on separate occasions. I came out the other side eventually. You can too beat the blackness.

[u/Excellent-Quarter969 → u/blonde_taurus]

As someone who has struggled with those thoughts and feelings many times, you can get through this! Whatever's happening seek support. Take care of yourself. ♥️♥️♥️

[u/New-Ranger-8960 → u/blonde_taurus]

Sending you love and hugs all the way from Greece, stay strong

[u/_Rayxz → u/blonde_taurus]

Same here. It’s so hard to wake up with these thoughts constantly running telling you to die. I understand. Hopefully he didn’t suffer too long

[u/solomonrooney → u/blonde_taurus]

I hope that you do not die, you are probably a cool person that has much to offer the people around you. I hope you get alleviation from any suffering you have.

[u/fiasco_11 → u/blonde_taurus]

You are loved! Hoping you find the strength that is within you already!

[u/MonkeyOnYourMomsBack → u/blonde_taurus]

It’s not been said anywhere that he k’d himself 🤔 

[u/thisisredditwow → u/blonde_taurus]

No. Be strong, look at how all these people are mourning a stranger, that’s how you’re viewed too. It’s just the darkness that hides it. Stay strong and keep fighting.

[u/Single_Reward_7651 → u/blonde_taurus]

You matter I promise you do , those are just demon thoughts in your head begging you to give in to their desire. You’re strong, loved and beautiful, I promise you it gets better . Besides we’re suppose to outlive our enemies 🫡❤️

[u/Few-Television-3646 → u/blonde_taurus]

I get it. I was struggling too for a long time and recently it was getting louder. Beginning of this month I was finally honest with my PCP and he put me on Buropion.

Honestly has really helped. The thoughts of being worthless or world better off without me are gone. (Also helped me stop smoking)

Just take it a day at a time.

[u/warukeru → u/blonde_taurus]

🫂

[u/PIX888 → u/blonde_taurus]

As someone who has tried killing myself and didn’t succeed, it always gets better. It may not seem like it in the moment, but it does. It took me several years to find a place of happiness. You just have find that strength that keeps you going.

[u/tawondasmooth → u/blonde_taurus]

Hey stranger, me too, especially in a very tough time in my personal life and the insanity of the world lately. It can just be a passing thought on the way to better things, though. You have worth and you matter more than you can ever know from inside your head. Our brains don’t always speak objective truth to us.

[u/ADevilfox → u/blonde_taurus]

Hey, hope for the best for you.

[u/ViolinistNo50 → u/blonde_taurus]

You should be here! You are loved.

[u/shr000mery → u/blonde_taurus]

Me too man. Honestly a lot. But I lost my best friend of 15 years to it so I really get staying strong because I see how much it affects others. Stay strong <3

[u/TheGiftOf_Jericho → u/blonde_taurus]

Hey, I'm just a stranger but I hope you are doing well and if you do need help, please seek it out. People care about you!

[u/throw-awayyy123456 → u/blonde_taurus]

Please stay. It got better for me. After 11 years of treatment resistant depression. If it can grt better for me — someone who was truly hopeless — it can get better for you.

[u/chizzipsandsizalsa → u/blonde_taurus]

You’re loved. Even if you don’t feel like you are, you are loved. You have purpose and meaning and I hope you can find joy and freedom from these thoughts. Stay with us

[u/Marcus_Hablberstram → u/blonde_taurus]

I don't know you, but it's not worth it. There little moments in life that make it worth it, but sometimes they can feel very very fleeting.

[u/Over-Plankton6860 → u/blonde_taurus]

The honest truth is I do too. My wife is my reason to live, but I fear this will haunt me my whole life

[u/Unlikely-Grape-5762 → u/blonde_taurus]

Stay up. People you don’t even think care about you, care a great deal. Just had a friend take his own life Wednesday. People care. And we want to see you tomorrow. I’m so sorry you feel this way. It does get better. And people do care.

[u/OtterTheCoyote → u/blonde_taurus]

I have also had these thoughts. I think the military fucked me up more than they would ever admit. A lot of that going around, it seems. The world can be a very dark and unforgiving place. All the more reason for you to bring a little more light to those around you, any way you can. If you need to talk, I’m here, we can both bullshit as Taurus’ (pun).

Sincerely though friend, you are never alone. Reach out if you need to. Deep breaths. Hydrate. Exercise. You’re in my prayers

[u/Natty_ice07 → u/blonde_taurus]

Same I can relate, shit hurts my heart man

[u/DelayAgreeable4286 → u/blonde_taurus]

Same. 

[u/Known-Highlight-2673 → u/blonde_taurus]

Hey, I struggle with this as well. Just hang in there. It sucks right now, but take a gamble that something amazing will happen before you die from old age. You got this  

[u/Jerekott → u/blonde_taurus]

I've strugled with the thoughts to the point of writing a note to my family and swallowing a bottle of pills. It's not worth it, life will get better ❤️

[u/M4sticl0x → u/blonde_taurus]

Trust yourself, i do not know what you going through but you can make it

[u/Data-over-drama- → u/blonde_taurus]

Hang in there.

[u/YogurtclosetNew9676 → u/blonde_taurus]

Please stay here and keep moving toward happiness! I understand despair and sadness and hopelessness. Damn, do I understand it. But I don't even know you and am sad that you would consider a very final solution. Life can get a tiny bit better in an instant. And then it can get a little better and a little better. Hang tough. Keep your chin up.

[u/Fair_Smoke4710 → u/blonde_taurus]

I feel you on that one. I fucking hate this year so goddamn much it’s like every other week iconic celebrity that it was in something I love guys like what the hell is going on. This is like 2016 all over again.

[u/hullaballoser → u/blonde_taurus]

You aren’t alone. Life is tough and unfair. I am so glad I didn’t make a permanent decision to “solve” what turned out to be a temporary problem. Hold on and see what’s over the next horizon 

<3

[u/wimbokcfa → u/blonde_taurus]

Me too 😕🫂

[u/_urethrapapercut_ → u/blonde_taurus]

Please don't do it. Life is valuable and there's always a way, no matter how hopeless it seems. People care, even if it's a stranger on the internet.

[u/PommeBro → u/blonde_taurus]

please stay, we need to hear you

[u/Mo_Steins_Ghost → u/blonde_taurus]

I have spastic diplegia similar to RJ. I was also diagnosed at 3.

I was bullied to near suicide in my teens. But in the end it came down to a sandwich and that was a wake up moment for me. I'll explain.

See, I was going to do it. I had been bullied relentlessly. We're talking Carrie-from-Stephen-King's-novel level bullying in 9th grade. Changed schools and things only got worse. But in the moment, I was hit by a human pang of hunger. I got distracted. Went to go make a sandwich. By the time I finished the sandwich my thoughts had moved on to something else. That's how it is, being a teenager. Then you take a step back and realize you almost instituted a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

So that's what I remember now in any moment things are bad. But to add to that, I watched our two dogs get old and fight, determinedly, to keep going to prove to themselves they could. I know now what "too much" really is. And I can easily say I am not there. I have watched my dogs push through worse than I have been through, and I feel like I owe it to them to try to make something of this life because they fought to be there for me.

There's no other principle at work here. I'm not motivated by some "higher concept" or whatever. Life is just short, and, as Sagan said, we are a way for the universe to know itself. You don't owe it to someone else to hang in there. You owe it to you... because this is not a test. This is the one chance we get to be alive, to experience the good and the bad, to feel something, anything, is magical in and of itself. To hurt, even, is to know that I am.

[u/ViolinistPitiful4928 → u/blonde_taurus]

Been there and I know how it feels. All I can say is that it will pass, it always does. Stay strong my friend!

[u/Ill_Spell_7695 → u/blonde_taurus]

I was struggling with these thoughts last night and waking up to the news was very jarring. Hope you're doing ok.

[u/Rbarb → u/blonde_taurus]

Love you bro hang in there 

[u/Thomas_Foolery_ → u/blonde_taurus]

I used to have these thoughts a few years ago. Things got better and they went away. There’s hope for you and I hope you reach out to someone you trust about them even if it’s tough. It really made a huge difference for my situation.

[u/fromearthtomorgue → u/blonde_taurus]

Please stay ♥️

[u/Grub-lord → u/blonde_taurus]

Therapy really does help! I hope you give it a chance

Be sure to stay here with us, all shit feelings are temporary/ I know (in my way) how you might be feelin & my heart is w you

[u/ToasterWithFeels → u/blonde_taurus]

You got this, buddy. Glad you’re still here. We all are.

I know this doesn’t make anything feel better, but one thought I’ve always held onto: Sucide doesn’t end pain, it just passes it to the people that care about you.

Get to a therapist. Get some help. It’s out there. Resources are out there too. It is possible to feel better. Trust me.

[u/Firm_Pin_4414 → u/blonde_taurus]

Idk you but ive been there and im proud of you for sticking it out. You are loved and deserve to be happy

[u/QueasySpell1946 → u/blonde_taurus]

My religion teachers that people who commit suicide go to Hell.

But whatever.

[u/Opposite-Peanut-8812 → u/QueasySpell1946]

So fucking what?

If you don’t believe in hell you’ll never go to it.

[u/Queasy_Dirt7197 → u/blonde_taurus]

Stop riding on his death
