Reading through all the Robin Williams-related posts tonight, I have two thoughts: 1) Thank you to all of you who are sharing your personal stories about your interactions with Robin Williams with the rest of us. As fans, we never really know what sort of people our favorite performers really are, but from what Im reading tonight it appears weve lost a man who was as gentle and kind as he was brilliant and funny. This amplifies the sense of loss, but its also heartening to know that our affections werent misplaced. 2) To those who struggle with depression, know that what youre feeling and thinking in those dark moments isnt permanent; it isnt even real, though I know first-hand that it feels intensely real. But that feeling and those thoughts are just the disease distorting reality. Reach out - to a family member, to a friend, to a healthcare professional. Never feel like its too late to call or that you dont want to burden/bother someone. The people who love you - and theres always somebody - will be there for you. Those of you who know me and have my number are always free to reach out 24/7. Please know that!
