As Jason Manford so rightly put..... If you feel alone and down, anxious and low. If you feel deep sadness but cant find a root cause. If people tell you to snap out of it or things can only get better or what doesnt kill you makes you stronger, know that its simply not always true. Sometimes it does kill you. Please seek help. No one will think youre being melodramatic, I swear. No one will think youre silly or wasting peoples time. No one will say what? But youre always so happy, maybe youre just having a bad day. For some people, every day is a bad day and they get through it, but sometimes they stop getting through it. If depression can (allegedly) kill Robin Williams, one of the worlds greatest funny men, well it can get any of us at any time. If the Genie from Aladdin can suffer and the DJ in Good Morning Vietnam can be affected by it, then so can you, or your child or friend or work colleague. I always remind myself of the quote from Watchmen: Man goes to doctor. Says hes depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up. Man bursts into tears. Says, But doctor... I am Pagliacci. Please. Ask for help. If you have no one or if you dont want to to tell them yet, then ring Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 for someone to talk to, or talk to your GP. The world needs you even if you dont think it does. I promise, we need you here, now.
