I have seen many posts about the death of Robin Williams. .... some positive some negative. People seriously do not realize what a debilitating issue this is.... When hit with it you dont know what the hell is wrong with you. You have high highs.... low lows.... and anger like you have never felt before. I know this because I live with it.... my daughter was diagnosed as a Type 1 Bi Polar which is the worst possible form of it but to be honest they are all bad. She had no clue she had it.... it was military induced. I can tell you her life has been hell since then. I always considered suicide a very selfesh act.... not anymore. When you are battling depression you arent thinking I wonder who I can hurt if I off myself.... it is more like if I go away so many people will be so much better without me. You start rationalizing why you should kill yourself. ... not why you should not. I have been on the phone many times talking my daughter down..... she was truly miserable. All I can do is give God the glory for helping me with what I needed to say to her. She states if it were not for her family. .... us and her husband and son and a coastie friend... she does not know how she would have gotten to this point. They went thru many meds to get her to the point where she is now.... she has not had any suicidal thoughts since April. Please be careful with what you post.... I am in hopes with the tragic loss of Robin Williams that people will realize that they can ask for help, that this happens to anyone. You can be rich, poor, black or white. It is real, it is out there and there is help... just ask for it. Judging people will only make things worse and people will not ask for help....Please know asking for help makes you stronger not weak. They say comedians. .. the best are typically very dark people so they use laughter to cover it up.... I see it all the time. No I am not an expert but have dealt with this first hand, this is a serious issue.. look for signs. .. cutting being one. I will not argue with anyone on this subject. .... I stand firm on what I believe and have seen. If someone reaches out.... be there for them... dont judge. You cannot talk the talk until you walk a mile in their shoes. you can have everything in this world but still missing that one part that makes you feel loved. What could be so horrible that makes you feel like you should end your life.... we will never know. It is between them and God.... not for us to judge.
