Id like to say a few words here about depression. Robin Williams death has stirred a few memories of my own. I cant remember the first time I saw him on TV but I can remember how he made me laugh, laugh tell my stomach hurt. Tears in my eyes. I always felt that people who want to make us laugh are hurting , so they cover up the hurt with jokes and push the pain back. There is an old saying, Inside every clown there is a sad person trying to get out !Having dealt with depression myself, I know that pain. I know the loneliness , the isolation , the wanting to feel better but you cant do it. You just cant find the energy. And you cant explain it to anyone, no matter who is asking. I know Robin had hundreds of friends! Did they let him down? Did no one care. Didnt anyone see the signs. Well maybe yes but like I said When your laughing on the outside, its hard for anyone to know whats going on , on the inside. If you have a loved one or a friend who might be hiding a depression, do whatever it takes to get inside their head. It would be better to lose the friendship rather than lose the person for good. Ask the hard questions you have nothing to lose. Then again , maybe you do. I dont think Ill be able to act funny or tell many jokes for awhile. My heart is hurting, one of my friends is gone and the world is a little sadder now. Ill always remember Robin Williams the man who made me laugh tell I cried. Rest in peace my friend. Hugs BT
