"And sometimes you feel ashamed and guilty and you don't feel like talking about this kind of things because you know that there are people out there who endure great tragedies without getting self-destructive and sick people who would want to live but are doomed to die... " Lunkhead, that's exactly what I felt when I was in the hospital (psych ward for 30 days) after my event. I felt small, like my problems were minimal, but I had to be around others with worse problems to realize that mine were minor. It took me 10 good years to finally come to terms and begin to talk about it. I know very well what you mean, that's why I wrote that post. I had some troubles in my teens and even now, after ten years, I don't feel like talking about them because I feel guilty and ashamed and extremely selfish and ungrateful... I hope Owen will show up at Marley & Me premiere and that journalists will be sensitive enough not to ask questions about what happened last year. I know that it's their work, but sometimes they need to remember that before being journalists they are human beings and they should try to put themselves in Owen's shoes...

this topic is really depressing, first of all it's rembering a date which luckily has passed and O is still alive and hopefully in good conditions. The fact he didn't make appearance at TT premiere wasn't a surprise at all: how could he be presented as the one "who was dropped out the movie a few days later- on 28th aug.- an attempted suicide? I was more shocked when he didn't promote at all Drillbit Taylor- the movie is nice, not exceptional, but someway original and clean- ruining the income of that movie- notice that DT is one of the more sold and downloaded DVD nowadays. I'm quite sure he will be at M&M and other promotion stuff, he put his soul in this film, and he also made something like a press conference in Amsterdam with Jennifer Aniston...yeah probably he will talk only about movie in Dec. Wilson bros are someway shy and want too maintain their privacy so much, so I can't see O. speaks openly about last year or write a bio about this. For sure he never won't do it. Finally yeah, maybe anchormen or similar aren't always so kind, but we're talking about illness and suicide, not about the new romance, expecting child,... I really can't imagine D. Leeterman asking O. "Why did you want to die last year?" -because O. didn't made public interview, but Luke or ex KH yeah, so they could receive similar questions. As regards as O. try always to hide himself: I think now he's in the "shame on you" phase- hope it will end quicky

That's why I only said it could be cathartic for him to address it. People seem to have interpreted could to mean should. As I said, he is a public figure and has other people in his life to consider besides himself. Additionally, he has his career to consider as well. If it were me, I sure as heck would want my employer and any possible future employer to forget as soon as possible anything in my record that might not be considered an asset. It's called "damage control."
I seem to be the only one who excuses Owen for his absence at the Drillbit Taylor premier. I'm sure, by the timing, he was already involved with M&M by then. He may have been legally obligated to remain on that project and not take a leave of absence for a previous project. The two movies were filmed by different studios and, as we know, there are contracts involved. He may have had a perfectly legitimate reason to have been absent. It seems to be preferred to view Owen's absence as a negative against him but we really don't know the reason for his absence. If anyone is so crass as to ask Owen about last August, Owen always has the option of declining to answer. He's not on the witness stand under court order to answer the question. Besides, it's been a year. Owen hasn't exactly been living in a cave since last August and will emerge from it only at the M&M premier. He's been out and about and all over the world since last August. Anyone could have asked him about it at any time, and he would still have had the option to decline an answer. In fact, he probably has already been asked many times and knows how to handle such an insensitive question.
Changing the topic a little... I have a strategy for dealing with bouts of the blues and, happily, it seems to be more effective the older I get. I take that to mean either my brain chemistry is stabilizing or I'm maturing. Whatever it is, I'll take it.

I guess showing concern about someone you love is depressing... I'm sorry if I've hurt you Hansel by starting this thread, but I firmly believe that knowing what could have happened makes us appreciate things more and show us that life can never be taken for granted.
I am not the least bothered about the talkshows. The hosts will handle it well. And if he goes to Leno or Kimmel, then no worry, those guys talk nothing serious. I am worried, that when Owen will be walking to the premiere, what if one of the photogs shout "Hey Owen, why did you try to kill yourself?" If one voice starts, others will follow. He cant sneak in, that will draw more attention. And if he goes thru some back door or something like that, and the paps dont even know he's there - not exactly publicity, is it? I apologize if I've offended anyone. I didnt mean to.

Well, I for one am not offended at all, SP. I'd be surprised if no photog has ever approached Owen, asking this question of him. They are paid to be bold but bold in the context of their cameras. But boldness in one way can lead to boldness in another. I bet it's already happened to Owen. I wouldn't worry about the talk shows either. I'm pretty sure that talk show guests are briefed in advance as to what questions will be asked and how the host wants the conversation to go. Long before last August, Owen said he really doesn't like to appear on those shows. He did make an exception for Conan O'Brien, saying that he's OK with Conan as he and Conan are of similar age. So he might go on Conan's show, and I'm sure Conan will treat him thoughtfully. I agree, SP, that it's good to appreciate one's blessings, taking into account what could have been. There are several events in my life that make me shudder to think what might have happened but for this or that.

Yes, he must've been approached, but at those times, no one shooting a video or something, right. Till now, paps of a few companies have troubled him. Soon, all of them will be surrounding him...again, a pessimist puts down all her concerns. I hope I'm very, very wrong.

I just trust that Owen is capable of handling this or else he really would retreat into his cave.
We did see one video of him not that long after he was released from hospital. The pap wished Owen well, he may have even meant well, but it was still rude to be videoing Owen without asking Owen's permission. Owen was getting into a car with someone else as driver. He glanced in the guy's direction a couple of times but didn't say anything. He might treat these situations just like that - just ignore the person. Or smile and wave and say nothing and leave.

Seriously, there really is no reason for Owen to have to talk about it at all. And anyone who asks him about it is rude and has poor taste. It's in the past and it's over. Obviously Owen has moved on, so the damn paps should too. I certainly don't need to know what happened. All I care about is that he got some help, that he's happy & healthy and moving on. Love me some Owen! ;D

So, I have a page on Face Book. Well yesterday I got a friend invite from no one other then the guy I dated for 5 yrs that led me down that awful path. I accepted the invite out of curiosity. He is married, but his wife looks shockingly like me AND she calls him boo. I used to call him booboo because he was accident prone. How weird is that?
