Ummmmmm

[gonna.die.in.coquitlam]

Am I the only one that finds the end of that a little bit...suicidal?

[fraser]

Hmm..I don't usually visit this site but, like you, I am not sure what to make of that post.

[Muran]

Yeah...I found the entry a little frightening. He's a big boy, we oughn't to coddle him or anything...but I'm just a tad worried and scared for his well-being...

 

I don't think he's a drama queen or an attention-seeker, but what are we to do when he posts things like that?

[nerd glasses]

I think he's alright. Maybe not having a great night, but he'll wake up tomorrow. He posted a picture called Lorazepam Angel on his Flickr page sometime ago, so he's likely on that drug which is related to Diazepam (Valium) and is a CNS depressant. It aids sleeping for those suffering insomnia from severe anxiety, which he could quite likely be going through, so perhaps the haze is from a night-time dosage?

 

I suppose the only course of action for a fan is to send him a supportive email.

That is a bit worrying, I hope he's alright.

[AnOceanPearl]

I have that same feeling he does, the feeling of being trapped in a fishbowl with everything distorted and out of focus, and believe me, it isn't a good feeling at all.

[Shiri]

I'm not really worried, I think he knows how to take care of himself, he's just probably going through a rough time in his life with all these changes and unexpected events.

I just woke up this morning and checked out Matt Website (much like I do every day) to see what new stuff he's blogging on and found that post with the comments turned off . . . the last few lines are very disturbing . . . I hope he's ok . .

[Prometheon]

I saw it last night before bed, and yes, it worried me quire a bit. The comments off thing is kinda...I dunno. I'd see it as a 'red flag.'

 

I'm sure he didn't kill himself, but it was still a very scary entry.

[soundless_space]

That entry completely freaked me out. I didn't want to admit it to myself, but it sounded horrible. I really hope it is just his depression or way of getting his emotions out about what's going on right now. But with the comments-off thing... I don't know. I hope he's alright.

[hum-an-ole]

I'm glad I'm not the only one concerned about this one. I thought I must have been taking it the wrong way or something. Who knows, maybe we all are...I just hope he's alright.

[sockcrotch]

This is absurd.

 

It's Matt. He knows more than most the worth of life and how taking his own life would cheapen the deaths of people all over the world who struggle for something so valuable as the right to live.

 

If anything, I'd say the last few lines of his latest post are metaphoric for his departure of his home and the beginning of the new life he will shape for himself.

[hello_time_bomb]

I too found this post somewhat disturbing. Just the whole comments off thing, but then again, we may all be reading too much into it

Death Update: Matt Is Not Dead

 

Tragically, though, Steve Irwin is. Matt, on the other hand, is just a macabre sentimentalist that left town today. - Merle.

 

lol i guess you guys win...

[Gibby]

i just read that too. for some reason i had steve irwin, and steve nash mixed up. man was i way off... does any one know where matts heading first?

[AnOceanPearl]

I swear, if I read one more post about Steve Irwin....

[soundless_space]

Oh, what would we do without Merle.

[Jarrod]

Geez. I make posts like that on my blogs. They are pretty weird but sometimes just have to be written like that. Just to ease pressure on the mind.

 

I just wouldn't worry about it.

Told you guys.

 

Now isn't that a relief...

[trufflepigs]

It was the death of his life in Vancouver.

[PsychoLamb]

Am I one of the only ones who didn't interpret it as suicidial?

[Guest Prosis]

No I didn't either...then again I did know he was leaving so lol ;)

[nerd glasses]

I don't think most folk here actually felt that he was going to off himself, so much as they were just worried, and human curiosity led to exploring all interpretations. Last night, I didn't think he was suicidal, just that he was having a more-than-usual hard time of things.

[hum-an-ole]

I was a little bothered by his entry on first glance, mainly because of the comments being off, but managed to brush it off because I have enough faith in the man than to think he'd give up like that.

 

This thread just kind of got my imagination going. Seeing everyone so worried about it. You crazy bastards...lol ;)
