I usually dont like to post my opinions on Facebook, because I honestly just dont see the point, but after reading some of the posts about Robin Williams I feel that I need to speak my mind. He was a beautifully talented human being. It makes me absolutely sick when I see people talk about how suicide is selfish and that they could have handled things better. Guess what world, some people have a battle going on inside their head that no one knows about, and some people are born with psychological disorders which make daily life a little bit harder to handle, and some people have tormented minds. Im tired of this stigma that is attached to depression. Depression is a disease not just a feeling, and its just as real as heart disease or cancer. Its sad that we live in a world where people have replaced compassion and understanding with bashing and hatred. People need to educate themselves before they say or post something that they know absolutely nothing about. Cruel words can be a trigger for people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, or even suicidal thoughts. All Im saying is be mindful enough to notice if something is not as it should be, and always give the love you wish to seek in return.
