Robin Williams so touched the world that his life is being remembered and his story is being shared in just about every country as of now. There is also a lot of talk about depression going around with people trying to spread awareness; this is good. Depression is a REAL issue. The problem is that it cant always be seen, mainly because those suffering mask it so well. Some dont want to be noticed, and others simply dont know how to express themselves while in a state of depression. In any case, do NOT underestimate what it means to be depressed. It is extremely powerful. Throughout the course of our lives, we ALL experience depression on some scale, but there are certainly cases worse than others. If you or anyone you know is seriously not feeling well, TALK. And more importantly: LISTEN. From my own recent experience, I know that all that I wanted to do was chat someones ear off until I felt a little better, and just be reminded that Im not alone and things will get better (thats the reason I wrote the post on July 20th. I was reaching out for help, and I strongly urge you to go back and reread it if you havent already). Obviously, we all have different methods of recovery, but reassurance from those who love you is the most powerful antidote there is. Make sure you remind people how much you love them as often as you can. To this day, I remind my grown male friends that I love them with no shame. Spread love. Be an open ear. Show your heart.
