Stefan Burnett

manic depression
>>65866960
Really bad depression
>>65866812
>Avey Tare
source?
Also Elliott Smith
>>65866960
Depression, yeah it's pretty much the common cold of mental illness, but it counts
>>65866979
can you blame me
>>65866940
aspergers doesn't really count though. give me something that actually prevents you from functioning.
like those guys would just be seen as awkward at best while guys like daniel johnston are batshit wacko.
>tfw aspie, majorly depressed, have panic disorder, and your shrink speculates you have bipolar type II
why has god forsaken me
Michael Jackson
How the fuck has no one said this
>>65867035

I have suicidal thoughts everyday and haven't been able to get out of bed almost everyday for almost a year and I'm not mentally ill. Just because someone doesn't bathe and wants to kill themselves doesn't mean they belong in a psych ward.
>>65866940
Has it been confirmed that david byrne has asperger's? I know he mentioned in an interview that he was "border-line aspergers" personality-wise as a kid, but i've never heard about him having actually been diagnosed with it. If it's true that's really interesting.
Gary Numan
David Byrne
Thom Yorke
Brian Wilson
Daniel Johnston
Ian Curtis
Nick Drake
Syd Barrett
Kurt Cobain
Elliott Smith
Roky Erickson
Ray Davies
Sinéad O'Connor
Poly Styrene
and I'd bet Kendrick Lamar has some depression/bipolar going on behind the scenes as well
>>65867092
not everyone who's mentally ill belongs in a psych ward
>>65866812
Numan is autistic? Is that true?
>>65867092
People who want to kill themselves end up on psych wards all the fucking time, OF COURSE it's a mental fucking illness.
Bradford Cox
probably that nigga xasthur
Jackson C. Frank
>>65867056
It's so obvious it doesn't need to be said, and his music was always basic pop anyway so the crazy never really manifested itself into the music.
>>65867094
Have you ever listened to the man talk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_B9gfwMEHI
>>65867181
also when he's giving public presentations he's spectacularly awkward
>>65867092

You sound like a doctor shilling for big pharma. I'm fine, leave me alone

Shh goy, buy this magic pill and see Dr. Von Shekelberg for an appointment to cure everything and make your dick grow.

I've literally been in two different psych wards and the vast majority of people there had depression.

>I have suicidal thoughts everyday and can barely get out of bed.
>Nothing's wrong with me
okay m8
>>65867294
It's exactly this. Mental illnesses are a scam and don't exist. Things like schizophrenia are a random malfunction of absurdity or possibly demonic influence. Look at all the people linking Wikipedia articles about mental illness to me. They're brainwashed. They were told a narrative and blindly accept it. They have no idea why I might be sad or want to die. They're feeding the beast.
all of them
>>65867336
Same anon. Just googled, really interesting story, he's been missing for 21 years. Richey Edwards.
>>65866940
if Avey Tare were actually like aspergers then I would feel so much better about myself
>>65867298
lol
But what the fuck is this avey tare meme
>>65867336
Richey Edwards
>>65867371
You don't think it's convenient to name that "random malfunction"?
> demonic influence
Uhm, you're pretty ill mate
>>65867371
>demonic influence
I'm legitimately concerned about you anon
>>65867371
Actually, you've created you're own narrative to cover your feelings, because you don't want to confront them.

Glen Gould.
The biggest, most important, most brilliant classical concert pianist of the 20th century.
Deeply DEEPLY autistic. A sever hypochondriac and was so paranoid about germs he would freak out for days if he had to shake someone's hand.
He refused to play while sitting on ANYTHING except the chair that he had been playing piano on since childhood.
He was on serious prescription painkillers for most of his life to deal with the chronic pain from a spinal injury. He also took other pills to deal with the side effects of the original pills, and more pills to deal with the side effects of the second set of pills etc.
He was incapable of playing without humming and singing along with himself, and claimed that he couldn't stop because didn't even know he was doing it. Recording engineers spent thousands of man hours trying to minimize or edit out his humming in all of his recordings, without much success.
>>65867517
He also had paranoia and thought people were spying on him.
Regarding that chair? He refused to let anyone fix or repair it even though the seat had worn completely through and there was no cushion left: just a hole in the middle. He's perch his ass on the very edge of the frame and balance there while playing.
He'd do this in fucking concert halls and studios.

Why do you persecute what you don't understand? I'm sorry you can't see demons. There's no need to shame others about it.

We hit the autism jackpot. This is /r9k/ personified.
>>65867584
I'd say go see a shrink but you're obviously delusional.
Have fun with your life anon
>>65867110
I'm pretty sure Kendrick confimed that he has depression (or had, can't remember)
>>65867181
wow I knew he had autistic tendencies but this is a lot more than I expected. But maybe he just has extreme social anxiety, he couldn't keep eye contact to save his life

They're just pretending to appeal to edgsters like us.
What do I have if I'm so consumed by feelings of baffled existential confusion, nervous guilt, and hopelessness due to what was deemed naive commitment by my father to your one true love every night you cant get out of bed some days and you just want to explode or loll yourself and you see flashes and colors in your peripheral and zone out for long periods of time
My health insurance won't let me see a therapist so I have to self medicate and the only medication is love from my only

>>65868291
What's wrong with that?
when Bjork didn't know much english, she sounded kind of autistic in interviews.
>>65866883
Nah, he's just an asshole
Savant
>>65868439
with what?
if you mean the insurance thing, it's because If you have some kind hallucinations or zone out frequently you definitely should see a therapist because you might develop schizophrenia
if you mean the disorder, just look it up on wikipedia
>>65866881
Is that Richie? Do you think he will ever be found (dead or alive)?

She's probably got borderline personality disorder. I honestly feel sorry for her.
>>65867181
byrne isnt always like that tho, it is a persona
>>65867092
That sounds like a mental illness to me, bud. I'm not sure how that's unclear to you. Maybe you suffer from mental retardation as well.
>>65867737
actually I recall that byrne had crippling stage fright as well? Perhaps he's an agoraphobe?
>>65866881
Shane dawson
