Ive seen many posts on my feed about the death of Mr. Robin Williams and Depression and Suicide. Having experienced Chronic Depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for a majority of my life its something I would not wish to anyone. Depression is a persistent, blaring noise in the background of your life that attacks everything and everyone you love. It doesnt rest. Its not feeling like you dont want to get out of bed, dreading work, laziness or lack of direction. Its perception of being alone and helpless, a disconnect from the world, when you know its not the case. Its a constant feeling of apathy, guilt, and self-hate that causes you to live in cynicism, making selfish decisions. Its real. If it were not for this terrible disease I would not have a more profound sense of who I am or reason of existence and this wouldnt be possible with out every loving, and patient soul who saw beauty in me when I wasnt able to see it in myself. Its other people. Its the impact we have on others. I couldnt be happier or have the slightest appreciation for being alive in the smallest moments. If you know someone who has Depression, check in with them often, give them your undivided attention, listen. If you have Depression, talk to someone, keep doing whatever it is you love, talk to the Universe. Whatever. Have patience. Love your Self. Dont give up because it gets better.
