Ive been thinking... (oh no!!!) Maybe all this press about Robin Williams and what happened is actually a blessing in disguise. Im with all of you in the fact that I loved his touchable persona. I believe that is why we were all drawn to him. But just look at the exposure depression is getting. Its that silent killer. The elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. Its that person you thought you knew all of your life until one day... they are gone. Ive posted about my depression... my cutting.. and a few of my other demons. Today, its important that we realize that elephant in the room is really there. Its real as the grass beneath your feet. It shouldnt be a shameful fact that people are depressed. They should be able to reach out to friends and family... and those people should give a shit about the person telling them. I know I have people that know me and my issues. Who know when Im closing them out or Im on the brink of doing something stupid. They know my ways... and I know theirs. It pains me that he didnt reach out, or if he did.. there was no one there to answer. We may never know. Today, make yourselves aware that a smile can save a life. A word of encouragement can make a difference. And a hug can cleanse some of the hurt one feels. Be aware. And dont judge. Just listen... and ACT.... and once in awhile, be nice to someone you dont know. Take a chance. And LISTEN... to what people dont say. You could make a difference. :)
