Its been a while since Ive posted anything worth reading on here, but I have something to say... Robin Williams is dead. He committed suicide. Unless you are an alien from another planet, you know all about it. Its been on every channel, every infomercial, news paper, billboard, road sign, book, magazine, rock, and park bench Ive seen for the last few days. Its horrible. I get it. What I take issue with is how they keep highlighting every movie, or comedy gig he ever did, and it seems like while that stuff is all great, they have hardly discussed the seriousness of depression. Folks, depression is no joke. Ive been battling it myself for years, and finally sought professional help this past January. It was only after seriously contemplating suicide twice that I was able to see how bad it was. Depression makes you feel isolated, alone, and helpless. I felt like I was the only person on the planet. Every morning that I woke up was the beginning of the worst day of my life. Every single one. The only logical solution to ending the misery was ending my life. The first time I decided to kill myself, I changed my mind, because I worried that my kids would find me. The second time, I decided to do it in a way that wouldnt create a gruesome scene. If my wife wouldnt have been there to stop me, I would have died before February off this year. The reason Im sharing this is because theres never an easy time to talk to your loved ones about depression. Do it anyway. You never know if the last time you see them will be the last. If youre reading this, youre in the select few people I care enough about to keep on my friends list. I care about you. If you are depressed, get help. If you need to talk, Im here.
