During this time..as Facebook is flooded with R.I.P Robin posts, i am called to share something i dont openly do so..nor am proud of, yet proud of how far i have come to know the wisdom Ive been blessed with from it....a very near suicide attempt at 17...I was lucky to survive it...learn to walk again, literally..and am feeling prompted to actually share for the first time ever from this tragedy in which a prompting arises within me. No one...no ONE...who believes they are never capable of suicidal tendencies. ..is living in a state of illusion. We all have this shadow, this dark, this unsurmountable grief that when fed....will take over like a plague......its time we start truly honestly candidly addressing depression that when left untreated...spirals not only our hormones, and bodily functions into a further depressed state...but our tendencies towards manic episodes, bi polarism and paranoid skizophrenia can thus, take over.... It is a normal occurrence to feel sad...inadequate...lonely...mornful...alone, anxiety ridden, overwhelmed. ..it is not normal to repress it or react in a way that justifies hurting another or the self....but once youve crossed this ledge...few make it back since your truly in a free fall of madness..... REACH OUT...THERE IS NO SHAME IN BEING HONEST.. The true shame...because he was hollywood, many suicidal people will justify their own sacrifice as glamorous. Please be honest with yourself...its not healthy to wish your life would end, or what if God just took me..then it will be ok..or the world is better w/out me.....that is a lie from the dark shadow you are feeding. STOP AND CALL SOMEONE...and yet as you know, those who read this as and are already trapped in the shame they have sunken this far into despair. .....it is ok, there is possibility in help. For those who have lost a loved one from this....it is not your fault. The darkness of mental illness is a beast only taken on by the power of God...and its in this grace, truth and acknowledged awareness can bring someone to dealing with it.
