Re: Chester Bennington/Linkin Park.
Absolutely gutted to hear about this.. I suffered with depression through most of my child and teenage years and Linkin Park always got me through another day.
I always said I'd see them live one day but I guess it's never properly going to happen now. Apparently Chester had 6 kids too, God only knows how they're feeling

Re: Chester Bennington/Linkin Park.
Music is a common escape for many people and I suppose the more you suffer the more you put into something and as such, the better someone becomes.
He suffered sexual abuse as a child and a couple of broken marriages so it's fair to say he had a lot to deal with

Plenty of them don't though...??Kwacky wrote:Musicians do seem to suffer wth mental health issues.
But yes, I get exactly where you're coming from....there's a lot of very talented people who have fallen by the wayside in that line of work.
They're their own worst enemies, in many regards....but I do have a lot of empathy for them though.

Re: Chester Bennington/Linkin Park.
I guess when you're doing a job you love, and don't have the 9 to 5 responsibilities us normal folk do, it's easy to get lost, either with drink or drugs. But it's even easier to find yourself alone with your thoughts and believing you've got no one to turn too. Every day people suffer with mental health issues but it takes the death of someone famous to remind us that mental health needs to be discussed openly and without shame.

Exactly that.Kwacky wrote:..it takes the death of someone famous to remind us that mental health needs to be discussed openly and without shame.
Having suffered with depression for as long as I can remember, I can safely say that I have control over it in the last year or so. The hardest part for me was admitting I had a problem and that was the lowest point I've ever been. Since then I have rebuilt myself with CBT and 1-on-1 therapy. I'm a completely different person to who I was and I'm glad I am - who I was made me get to my lowest.
I am more than happy to discuss my experiences with people and I see so many people want to open up about it but they don't because they're scared; I just hope that breaching the subject in the first place is a step in the right direction and they seek professional help

Re: Chester Bennington/Linkin Park.
I was running off the rails in my late teens and ended up being formally assessed when I was 20. The report came back saying I was normal. Don't test someone who did psychology as an a level and who knows what the tests are.
I do suffer with black periods but I've learned to manage them as I get older. I know my mood swings but I can usually catch it before I turn into Mr Hyde.
I don't meet the criteria for borderline personality disorder but I do have a few of the symptoms

Yep...I'm sure that whatever the drug of choice is, it gives only a temporary relief to an underlying cause.Kwacky wrote:I guess when you're doing a job you love, and don't have the 9 to 5 responsibilities us normal folk do, it's easy to get lost, either with drink or drugs.

Re: Chester Bennington/Linkin Park.
It took me a long time to recognise I was suffering with depression. You really don't appreciate how low you have gone till you start to recover. Took me a year of anti depressants, 3 years of counselling, and some major life changes to feel I'd finally got a hold on it. I'm very lucky I now have someone in my life that is very intuitive and compassionate, and pulls me out of a hole before I've even realised I'm in it.
I agree with all the previous comments, needs to be talked about more freely and lose the stigma.

Re: Chester Bennington/Linkin Park.
Depression builds like a freight train in the back of your head & you're tied to the fcuking rails.
Or so I've heard it rumoured

Re: Chester Bennington/Linkin Park.
I'm fairly certain everyone has or will suffer with some level of depression in their life. It's just a normal part of being human.

Re: Chester Bennington/Linkin Park.
Very sad news a real shame to loose a talented guy. Always loved Linkin Park. I remember turning up the stero as loud as possible to listen to their albums!

Re: Chester Bennington/Linkin Park.
There's a "Let's Remember Chester" concert tonight in LA....I'll prolly watch a bit of it, although memorial concerts always seem a bit hollow to me.
