Feel so lost. Want to watch past episodes but feel like it’s too much. Honestly, just don’t know what to do with myself and then feel rotten for feeling like this with so much other stuff going on.

I know this news is absolutely tragic to his fans, but people are connecting 2+2 to his old posts to recent news or having different conspiracy theories. Maybe he is a goof boomer who will absolutely post anything. A man like him will never post a glamorous photoshoot like Aniston or family pic like Kudrow
He hadn't posted since about April then suddenly posted a lot of odd posts (apart from the photo with his dad). Most of his old posts weren't like that. It was a lot of work stuff.
I hate conspiracy theories especially when celebrities die. Some of the comments on his posts are stupid.
However certainly his last few posts on Instagram were a little different to his usual, which were sporadic and mostly work related. Enough that people were commenting 5 days ago about it, anyway.

Terribly sad, he battled addiction and as someone who has gone through alcohol addiction I know how hard a fight it is, every day is a battle to stay clean. I hope he's at peace now.
Shocked but not not surprised.
Absolutely love friends, but my opinion of him changed after reading his book. Unfortunately throughout the book he never once took responsibility for his addictions and the people he hurt along the way (a huge part of recovery). I never bought the 'happy ending' of him being magically sober and fixed, and unfortunately it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
Very sad all round.

Honestly feel like I've lost a friend 
Friends is my comfort show, watch it every night to fall asleep too. I've always wished for the friendship group they had, maybe why It's my comfort
May you be at peace now 🤍

I just know the tributes from the main Friends cast is gonna be heartbreaking

i reckon they'll be posting them soon as his parents have now realeased a statement (i'm assuming the cast were waiting for his family to go first)Can't believe the wonderfully funny Matthew Perry has died. It's bloody tragic. Apart from his acting, he did a lot to help those with addictions, and despite his fame, he seemed a very approachable person, willing to help anyone who needed it. As I say, bloody tragic.
Aw Jeez, RIP Matthew Perry.

Scrolling news stuff I found out that Adele paused her concert last night to pay a tribute to him and then sung this (apologies to anyone who hates Adele)
According to reports, he had medication for COPD. Most doctors/professionals say sufferers should stay away from hot tubs/jacuzzis as they can irritate lungs and in some cases, lead to something called hot tub lung which if you already have lung issues like COPD, emphysema etc, makes it worse. Having COPD also raises the chance of cardiac arrest which is what happened to him.That's a massive jacuzzimore like a swimming pool. Easy to see how one could fall asleep by accident and drown (if that's what happened)
From what I've seen online, the autopsy has been done and his family now have him, but so far all they are saying is cause of death is deferred until the toxicology comes back which could take a month or so.
That makes sense and according to his wiki it was over a 30yr period..
"In 2022, he estimated that $9 million was spent on his addiction, including 14 stomach surgeries, 15 stays in rehab, and therapy twice a week for 30 years. He believed he had attended 6,000 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings."

This really is so sad. I’ve never been a fan of Friends, it just isn’t my style of humour but I always liked him. Out of all of them there was always an element of just… normality about him. Or as normal as you can be as a world famous multi millionaire. I guess it was his vulnerabilities.
I feel sad that he ended up living what was probably quite a lonely life. Yes, he had money and big houses but such underlying sadness to it all. I wasn’t shocked when I read the news, saddened absolutely but not shocked or surprised.
He seemed lovely, but a tortured soul. I hope he is remembered for more than his work on Friends.
I’ve already seen plenty of tweets taking the piss out of him dying in a jacuzzi which is depressing. I don’t think people realise just how dangerous water can be. As covered in here it could easily have been a heart attack. Or he could have slipped and bumped his head. There are plenty of ways to die in water without drugs and alcohol involved (and plenty more ways if they are involved)
I’m not a believer but I do hope he is at peace now.

I'm just going to say, if you're a big fan of Matthew and you haven't read his autobiography yet and you are debating whether you're going to get it or not... maybe don't. At least, not right now. Let the dust settle.
I wish I hadn't read it. Chandler was always my favourite character and therefore by extension I loved Matthew. Because I made the mistake of thinking he WAS Chandler. Then I read (or rather listened) to 'Friends, Lovers and the big, terrible thing' and I came away actively hating him (Sorry, but that's the truth) because (and yes, I know we shouldn't speak ill of the dead but go back through the thread, it's all there) he definitely didn’t make it easy to like him. And no, I'm not talking about his addictions, that could happen to anyone. I'm talking about his other behaviours.
And now that all this has happened, yes I feel bad that he has died, it's no age and I feel for his family and friends and many, MANY fans, but I feel like had I NOT bought that book I could have mourned him in blissful ignorance. ATM I just feel... kind of numb. 🫤
RIP MP, I hope you find the peace you could never find in life

Maybe this will be a little too personal, but going to say it anyway. I’ve been feeling quite down and dissociated from life the last few weeks. I’m 36, which I think is a hard age for a lot of people no matter what stage of life you’re at, but I’ve just been struggling with things like still being single, job not being overly satisfying, major isolation as a result of constant remote working these days, even though all your colleagues with families and kids think it’s absolutely wonderful, etc etc…
Anyway, I happened to be at a house party on Saturday where a lot of drugs were being taken. I indulged a bit, but even as I did so, I knew it wasn’t the best idea, considering I was already feeling mentally fragile. Ended up having a good talk with a friend there, but life is just tough sometimes and sometimes you just feel really sad. Around 4:30am, people started getting the notifications of Matthew Perry’s death. Like others here, it really floored me and I felt so, so sad for him.
I feel like I’ve just had a taster recently of what it feels like to no longer be very excited about life or the future, and it breaks my heart that I think that’s how he probably felt every day of his adult life. Just numb. It’s also so hard on friends and family to be consistently around that energy. People gravitate towards positive people. I want to get back into therapy, go on lots of nature-filled walks, and just be around people I love.
I can completely understand how having tonnes of money doesn’t make you feel any less dead inside. I’m just sad he was so sad for so long. I don’t want to feel like this and I still believe I can get back to my old self. I do think it’s important that people really try to put themselves in the shoes of someone with depression and addiction issues though. Empathy is wonderful.
I hope he’s at peace now. Loved Chandler Bing and hope he took some comfort in all of the joy he brought to millions of people- how many of us can say we affected so many people so positively? Comedy is a wonderful thing. And the work he did to help other people with addiction issues. May he rest in peace.

Must be a very strange thing to live with knowing you're adored by millions for not being yourself and playing a scripted/invented character. In fact I'd imagine it's a bit of a headfuck for someone quite fragile.
We all just want to be loved for who and what we are at the end of the day. Even in death, people are mourning Chandler Bing - not the man who played him.
