When I was going through panic attacks, which eventually led to phobias, I thought I was certifiably crazy... There were times I questioned life and why I was here. Fortunately I had people in my life that introduced me to things like #NLP and positive psychology. Yes, there were times I pretended to be happy and healthy, when I clearly wasnt but eventually over time, with much work I started to connect with myself, my heart and found safety in faith that there is something more for all of us. There were only a couple of people who even had an inkling of the level of sadness and grief that I was experiencing and most everyone else thought I was the same old happy, funny Tam. The few people that noticed the dark sadness in my soul, did reach out and to this day I am forever grateful to them. Robin Williams was one of my idols because he was a rebel to the core, like me... But ultimately it appears the rebel got the best of him. We never EVER know what anyone is going through, even if it appears all is fine, take time to ask questions, share a compliment, put your ego aside to even risk a friendship if you feel someone is in desperate need for help. I remember my dad took his best friend to rehab and his friend never talked to him again... Everyone knows that if he didnt dry up he would have drank himself to death. My dad sacrificed his lifelong friendship to save his friends life... That is love. We have got to be strong enough to risk what people will think, to do the right thing sometimes. My wish for everyone is that they truly take the time to find the love they seek within themselves first and then from there connect to faith and then support and love in one another. It starts with being 100% honest. Robin, may you in peace and carry your humour into the ethers so that we can all laugh at our own limitations and love ourselves anyways.
