Bruce Springsteen Suffered From Depression, Suicidal Thoughts in the '80s

I do everyday Bruce....... come the middle of next month, may just do that....ed in tx.....on meds too!!

I wnat to pick up the NY for sure. I am a big fan and now I know the source of those extraordinarily long concerts. Not all that surprised though. He sure hid it well.

Thank you so much Hoppinhogz. I really appreciate you message. I'm go happy that there are nice, sensative people like you out there, who care and understand. You be happy, too, always.

THERE IS no greater disorder than the ugly out of control disorder of depression. It's a life stealer. I have been in his shoes and tried to finish the job when i was 15. Today, a man in his 50's now, i still want to finish off the job and find it hard to face another day, week, hour or year with the depression. It's so much like a tattoo . It feels so permanent. I am not sure how and where this ride will take me. But i know that i do not want to live with this hanging around my neck and pulling me down. Continued success Bruce. Thanks for letting others know that there is no shame to be had for feeling what we do... It feels like an uphill battle however. Never finishing and attaching itself to your organs and feelings, thoughts and bloodstream of life into your heavyness of heart... Hugs to anyone who is struggling ...

he is a great performer,,,I want to hear his music,,not hear him talk about his bad life or depression.Newsflash.....alot of people have a bad past,,,,big deal now play some music.

I printed out my article. I will check back and see that it's still posted. If not, I will report that AOL only posts certain articles...like the ones that they agree with. My heart goes out to Bruce. I know what it's like to feel that way. NOTE: You answered that you had problems printing my last comment... let's see if you have problems printing this one, as you have never had problems in the past.

Thanks Desiree good to see some are not ashamed of what they have been through and do not mind sharing their thoughts and yes Bruce is a great performer, he has soul and charisma. Be happy

To all of those people who wrote nasty & ignorant comments (prior to my comment) regarding Bruce's past depression, I cannot believe how many ignorant, insensative & heartless people there are out there. Bruce is an amazing performer! For decades of years, he has overjoyed many generations of fans with his numerous hits & awesome performances. Even if you do not enjoy his music, or he does not have the same political views, as some of you out
there, dos not make him any less of a person or a wonderful, compassionate
man. I, on the othier hand, am a huge fan of his music and had the honor of meeting this great, down-to-earth, man. However, to the nasty, you are missing the whole point of this article. How ignorant are YOU??? This is about a very disabling illness, that can sometimes be fatal. Obviously the people that wrote these disgusting, negative comments never suffered from it.! Rather, you are the cocky, narsasistic people, who have no talent or heart at all! I have suffered with Depression for many years and seeing him in concert has been the high-lights of my life during that time. To conclude, I must say that to all of the heartless out there, I can only hope that there will come a time in your lives when you will suffer from Depression, first hand! Maybe then, you will remember this message and understand what I am trying convey. Have a heart & don't judge people due to a medical condition they cannot control,,,,,

garbiss207 thanks for saying something about depression, and mental illness and not just for Bruce Springsteen but for so many out there that face each day and night, particularly night with their own thoughts and fears. Sometimes looking at the things that are happening in this world and things they are personally going through some find too hard to handle. Thank you jen brit25 for your outlook it is good you can joke now but its rough for a long time. Be happy

He cannot sing I thought all liberals would suicidal . I never like him he sounds like he has **** in his mouth when he is singing.
