Today a face was given to a previously faceless disease. One of the most famous, funniest, wittiest men in the world. Robin Williams committed suicide today. To all the people out there who have told someone just think happy thoughts or you will get over it this is a message for you, as well as everyone else in the world. Happy thoughts do not cure this disease, no more than happy thoughts will cure cancer, diabetes, AIDS, or any other life threatening disease. As someone who is Bi-polar type 2, which means I have more of the depressive than the manic states, I know what it is like to feel hopeless, sad, helpless, unworthy of life in a whole. Not worthy of the love people are so willing to give, but never seems to help the negative, self depravity, the bottomless pit of anguish, despair and self hate. When someone is depresses DO NOT let them push you away, dont let the angry words they throw at you make you want to never see them again. Yes they may seem like they know what they are saying, but as I can contest, those words kill us as bad as they kill you. But do not give up on them, they need you, want you, have to have your heart because theres is broken by this disease. I have said the cruelest things to the people who mean the most to me. But thank God they are still there every time I need them. When you see someone struggling make sure they know that you are there for them. Steven Titus has been a God send to me, when I try to push him away he just follows me to the pit of self loathing and drags me out again. I beg you, watch for the signs of depression, and suicidal tendencies in the people you love. Look up the signs on web MD or type in to any search engine the signs of depression and suicidal idealization. And to the people who are depressed, get help, it is out there. The Idaho Dept. of Health and Welfare have an entire mental health department. If you cant afford the help, they will help you. Get help before its to late and get the help you need to make yourself happy, and yes positive thoughts will help, but they will not cure an incurable disease. Yes it is not curable but by God this is so managable. So get the help you need. Suicide prevention hotlines, use them they are there for a reason. Call your mom, she will always be the best shoulder to cry on, and you know she will do anything to help you. Call a friend, yhour boss, your pastor, bishop, priest, rabbi, but for christ sake get the help you need!
