Wow, what an earth shattering statement.

wow

Bless his heart. I hope he gets the help he needs.

Having said that, I have to say that (sicko that I am) I want the dirt on what really happened.

Nya - Sometimes you make my giggle. Leprosy...LMAO!!

I hear you though. Suicide is a huge cop out, but I also think that a person has to be in serious pain to go that route.

my = me

I think that's an awful thing to say nya. You're not walking in his or anyone else's shoes so how can you know whether or not life is that bad for them. I have compassion for anyone who's in pain, whether physical or mental. Obviously if you go to the extreme of trying to end your life, you're in pain.

um we have no idea about his situation so i don't plan to judge him for attempting suicide (if in fact he did attempt suicide). i just hope he gets better.

I hope he gets better! we luv u owen!

I don't agree or condone suicide or an attempt at it... but I think some of you (and I'm sure you know which one) should be a little more sensitive... or at least keep your opinions to yourself if they aren't polite ones. You never know who you are going to offend... unfortunately some of us have been forced to deal with loved ones who have had the same "issue" as Owen Wilson... it's not a burden but definitely a hard time for any individual and their family. So maybe YOU should grow up.

that's terrible...

Wow NYARADZ whatever, those are some pretty harsh statements. We don't have a right to judge someone who is obviously in so much pain that they have to go to that extreme. I think it goes beyond not being able to deal or copping out. I think you're the one who needs to grow up and be a bit more tolerant and educated in how you see things. And trust many don't have sympanthy or respect for such intolerance, you sound like an old conservative republican.

Whatever his problem may be, I hope he gets better soon. He is a great actor and I'm sure his family and friends are very concerned for him.

Uh oh, let's not bring politics into this... no need for that... and it will only get ugly!

So...he did try to commit suicide? Scary and sad...I hope he gets better!

i don't condone suicide. i've lost a friend to suicide. and unfortunately, i've made two attempts. it is an absolutely awful thing, but it's not about "growing up" and "dealing with it". depression is an illness that can be absolutely crippling.

i am not intentionally being ffensive but I honestly don't get it, I have uncles and aunts adn friends and classmates who killed themselves and the pain and suffering you put your family and those who love you is just not right on another level. I feel that life can be bad and there are days when I have been like Lord take me now but when I look at certain situations that are so unbearable;I have cousins who are 14 and have dropped out of high school to look after 5 younger siblings on less than a $1 and a lot are forced into selling themselves but they take it on and I feel that dang if they can do it anyone esppecially someone with resources. I HATe suicide. I had a friend kill himself over a girl who dumped him, and the weekedn eh was buried she got engaged to someone else and I was like he only hurt the ones who loved him. I don't mean to be offensive and I apologise but I am sharing my opinion and why i loathe suicide.

It already got ugly, suicide is a heavy issue for some people to brush off.

I don't think that suicide is the answer, ever. That being said I must say I hope and pray Owen gets the help he needs. He's a human being that is in a terrible way, and telling him to "grow up and deal with the problem" is shocking. Whether this is an accidental overdose or attempted suicide - he deserves, something other than malice; love, understanding, empathy. We don't know the particulars, so this may not have even been a suicide bid. Either way he has a real problem.

I'm just so glad that he didn't die. My kids love Lightning McQueen!

Here's hoping he gets the care and help he needs.

Shocking! I can't believe this is the same guy who seemed to love life and women so much...

i hope he gets better! thats so sad!

Jeez I am sorry for offending you guys but I get so mad when I read about things like this and think about how it's a boomerang effect on so many people and I type exactly what i'm feeling at the moment, I retract the statement if that will help.

nyara, i agree with your statement about the pain it causes others. it's awful. but everyone's situtation is different and so are people's thresholds for what's "unbearable".

Ok I see where you're coming from, nya and I know it hurts the loved ones more than anything, one of my friend's sisters just killed herself a couple of months ago and it was devastating for them. But again I think that the people who choose to commit suicide are obviously really struggling to deal with life and their problems and pain, and sometimes when you're so depressed you're so numb or hurt by your own feelings that you can't really think about other people's feelings in the process. Obviously suicide is not the best option, but some people can't see that we're they're in the midst of depression and especially when they're feeling hopeless. And just because Owen has money and resources doesn't have anything to do with how he feels about himself or his life.

Crazy rumors r flying that he slit his wrists and/or drugoverdose. I had no idea he had drug issues...

I know slashy but i wish people would think about you know their family and even if they feel insignificant they mean something to someone. Life is hard but death is shouldn't be an option. It angers me to no end to think of the suicide websites or other horrid things that help people do this. If I could stop all suicides I would.

i will say a prayer for him

That was such a shocker when I read about all this. He seemed all together and happy, even though I know you can't go by that by any means.

I hope he gets better!

nyara, i would stop them too! and i did think about my family, which is why i called for help after making a second attempt and i'll never attempt again. but do i think about it? yes. do i act on it? no. i love my family too much.

You see fashionstar when I think about that I'm just like Lord why? I'm zimbabwean and you all know it lol but at funerals back home people wail, people show their grief and don't hold back and it's just wrong to see a mom try to jump in a grave with her kid. I've never been suicidal and I always try to think of my family and ho my parents would feel since it took them so long to have me so maybe I shouldn't talk and just leave to ones who know..

I would try to stop the causes of suicide more than anything, depression, hopelessness, anger, grief, self-hatred, and not having the tools to empower oneself.

Nya I see your family helps to give you strength, but there are tons of people out there who either don't have their families or who come from horrible ones, so I just try to see all the sides of the coin.

I am shocked, but we never know whats going on in someones head you know.... I hope he gets all of the help he needs and that the media will respect his wishes!

I'm sure you'll all jump on me for saying this, but I think you need to lay off Nya.

I've been living with clinical depression & chronic pain for several years. There have been times when I've thought about ending it all, but I've always thought about the people I love and what it would do to them. What about the person who finds you? They have to live with that. Suicide is a selfish act.

i'm sory fashionstar but i will never ever understand suicide, no matter how hard life gets. I'd rather give the finger to my problems but that's just me. i'm cool with abortion and support someone's righto choose and everything else a lot of people don't condone but rape, physical abuse and child molestaion and suicide, they make me see red, like utter and total red. but that's just me.

god bless you owen.

Trixie thanks but it's okay i shared my opinion let them share theirs, if they want to lay in one me i'm cool with it i'd rther tell it like it is to me than pussyfoot around people on pop. I'm sure I offend people every hour.

wow. i'm really shocked by this whole thing. i hope he's on the road to recovery and if he did indeed try to commit suicide that he gets the help he needs.

twice in the past year i found somebody (same person) very, very close to me on the floor, not breathing from a suicide attempt and both of these times i had to resuscitate them. it was the most horrible thing i have ever gone through. even now if they don't answer their phone i get sweaty and nauseous and feel like i'm going to pass out.

being the person that was almost left behind, after you get over the initial "oh my god, they just tried to kill themselves" their is that definite feeling of "what about me?" as selfish as it is, i thought about how selfish it was for this other person now to think about how them killing themselves would affect me. if that makes sense. i don't even know where i'm going with this post, just that sucide is so f*cking intense and anyone who attempts it must be at such a horrible place in their lives its hard for anyone else to comprehend. sorry for the ramble.

I agree Trixie6 suicide is a selfish act. My mother tried to kill herself and my little sister who was 11 at the time found her. That is an awful thing to do to your child. There are places that can help you. whether you get therapy or medication for depression. There is hope. I hope if Owen did try to kill himself that he get's the help he needs.

Nya - I aspire to have your attitude. I'm afraid to offend so I usually keep things to myself.

Thank you for your comment on #24- Fashionstar-it was very well stated...

This is all very shocking to me...I really hope he gets better!

Thanks blessed.

Wow dmb i can't even imagine that, I don't think I would even know what to do or calm down enough to try save them.

A friend of mine from college committed suicide and he was the kind of guy who was smart, popular and very handsome. You would never know he was having serious problems. In a way its probably better that Owen Wilson attempted suicide (and luckily failed) because it might bring him the help he needs to be happy inside.

My grandma had diabetes and she would go into comas and one time they had pronounced her dead before a nurse refused to let her die and somehow resuscitated her and I was the one who had found her that night. She used to sleep in my room with me and I remember leaving the lights on and sometimes lying on my bed and watchign her to make sure she was breathing, if i couldn't see I would turn her around or wake her up because I was so paranoid that she would die in her sleep and i wouldn't know and I just can't fathom what you feel when you don't get an answer dmb.

sadly, my sympathies lies with the person who attempts the suicide, as well as the people left around them. At the same time I am sure that he could not see pass his grief/anger...I hope that he gets the help he needs to realize that there are other ways to cope and deal with life instead of taking it.

Yeah you never really know what a person's going through even if it seems like they have the best life ever. That's why I think it's important to appreciate your own life, and to not envy others because you really have no idea what they're dealing with inside.

i kind of went on autopilot about it. it felt like i wasn't even there, like that really couldn't be happening to me or this person. the worst was the second time when i had this really horrible feeling that the person tried it again when i walked in. the whole atmosphere felt weird and i just knew. it's the worst feeling ever, especially when you know how close you came to losing someone.

why owen? why?
