I have been thinking a bit about what to write tonight. I was sitting at the hairdressers today as the news came in of the death of Robin Williams. The conversation centered around comments like OMG he was a comedian or 63 years old, never thought anyone would suicide at that age or surely he could have reached out for help...... this week has been up and down for me. I sometimes dont have the energy to care for my kids far less myself and some days I really do wish that it could be my last. Friends, suicide does not have a mould. I have 2 degrees, I played sport and was great at music, I have travelled, I am an extrovert, I have my faith BUT I have depression and you cannot just get over it and be happy when someone tells you to snap out of it. BUT you can, surround yourself with a positive and real group of friends, you can find a hobby that brings you hope and happiness, you can sit in the sunshine or water the garden. And you can even have the occasional day to stare at the wall or go back to bed. But somehow if at all possible, you must choose yourself to keep going. DEPRESSION IS A VERY REAL ILLNESS AND IT CAN AFFECT ANYONE AT ANYTIME.
