Prompted by the worldwide shock of Robin Williams death, my familys battles with mental health issues, my own historic ones and those Ive worked with....Id like to share this... Thankfully much of mental health issues can be addressed, resolved, healed and left behind us. And for some..its a sad fact that they just dont. Cant. Whatever the reason. It just doesnt happen for them. An idea regarding those with severe depression...is that its bravery..courage..that has them take their lives. From personal experience...in family and work...what Ive witnessed and come to understand is that its less to do with courage...rather that theyre no longer able to see any possibility. Its despair and nonpossibility. I believe theres a chemical change in the brain...in their biology and neurology that no longer enables them to access the part of the brain that might lead them to reach for help, to see or be even remotely creative on their own behalf. Their brain shuts down and this eventually leads to their way out...however that occurs. And as with addictions (Ive had many serious ones & had relationships with those with addictions)...we know that no matter HOW MUCH WE LOVE SOMEONE, WHAT WE CANNOT DO...IS SAVE THEM. We cant stop life and death...no matter how we might try...battle it...it is what is. And there are some who can be and are helped. I invite you to slow down. Pay attention. To yourself..your feeling needs and desires. To others. Be kind. Reach out. Grow yourself. Love yourself enough to give yourself what you need. And desire. Youre not alone. Theres many who would help if you let them know your needs and or your availability. Please dont simply focus on the loss and grief of Robins passing...rather let the sadness not be in vain...let it catalys positive change in your life. If youre feeling this global, or personal, sadness..grief...then dont skip this opportunity present in your own life...or for someone else. Often we grieve for lost possibility. Let this no blind you to the ongoing possibility inherent within life that exists now. Here. Today. For I wonder if this is not the greatest loss...not doing or being when we might have. Herein is your power. Choice. Love, HOPE and Possibility Nyali
