With Robin Williams death this morning - battling with Depression, I think its time for me to share my heart. One in 5 people will suffer a one off or ongoing mental health issues throughout their life. I think just about everyone is touched by this in one way or another. I myself am a survivor. Ive worked through this terrible illness on & off over a 20 year period. Currently I am caring for someone very close to me who is in a very dark place, unable to even get out of bed. I believe in intervention & medicine to help with the process. This illness is treatable. It all just takes time. I am an example of how it can truly bring out the best in someone. I will always have empathy. Never judge or be hard on someone. Until you have walked in their shoes, you truly have no idea. My weakness are now my strengths. Ive been given 2 extra chances in life - thats how bad the depression took hold, that I feel blessed & grateful everyday. Remember to be kind & non judging. Life is just so precious. Everyone deserves the very best. Life can be very hard, but if we all come together & show more love, our world can be a better place for all.
