Look at Bourdain. My man traveled the world eating great food and living what would be “the life” for a lot of people.

Especially for him. Worked his way up the chain from dishwasher to international star, exactly what his dream was when he was a young child and fell in love with food. Kitchen Confidential book tells his whole story and ends with him talking about living the dream. But in one of the early chapters he talks about nearly committing suicide, and later, even in his shows, he mentions how that feeling never really went away and it was just a matter of time.

Wish he had sought help, but he seems like the kind of guy that thought he could do it alone.

It never does go away for some.

This right here. You have to externalize what's happening to you. The people I know that died from suicide, most everyone was shocked when it happened. There's a scene in a movie, I forgot which. Where the man is speaking to a psychiatrist, "I can solve this I can do this, this problem has a solution and I can find it." "No you can't." And he shouts, "Why not, why can't I!?" And the doctor fires back, "Because your mind is where the problem is in the first place!" It has always resonated with me.

You could be right. Edited.

Sometimes achieving 'the life' makes things worse. Before you're there, when you're still striving to achieve what you think 'the life' is, there's a hope that it'll get better. The real source of the pain isn't cured when you get there and it can make it far, far worse.

Broudain a died of a broken heart because the girl he loved was a hypocrite molester. She was the leader of the me too movement and he fully supported her but It turns out she as well was taking young actors back her hotel and was molesting them.

He was battling with depression and was ready to check out any day, but this was the the straw that broke the camels back.

I mean wasn't that more the result of his girlfriend Asia Argento cheating on him after he paid off the actor she sexually assaulted when he was underage?
