There has been a lot in the news the past 24 hrs about the tragic passing of Robin Williams. Its still hard to imagine that someone who seemed so happy and made millions of people laugh and feel good for so many years could have been hurting so bad inside that he no longer could deal with the pain and took his own life. As i said last night, depression is a silent killer and people can mask the pain and hurt from those closest to them. I myself in years past have dealt with depression and yes i have contemplated suicide, and yes i took pills, not with the intention to kill myself but to try to hide the pain if not but for one hour, and yes i have talked to Drs about the situation. Thank God that i did and didnt take that final step. I say this in hopes that if anyone that may see this and has personal issues or knows of anyone that does, speak up and ask for help, its nothing to be ashamed of. Depression is a disease, its not something someone decides to try out one day like a drug. As strong as someone is, your NOT gonna beat it by yourself.Talk to someone, anyone, get the help you need. And feel free to share this in that it may help someone that passes by this simple observation ive shared. You may be surprised that those you work with, sit beside in school or at work ,and worst case scenario a family member that you sit at the dinner table with and joke with everyday may be the one that you save.
