In reading SOME statuss about Robin Williams on Fb, I have realized there is a lot of ignorance about mental illness, depression in particular. Mental Illness is an illness it is a disease of the mind, chemical imbalances. Have you ever thought to yourself, I wish I was dead, I cant take this anymore? But youre still here, because you were never at the point where you saw no light, only darkness. You were never so despondent that your fear of death or rational thought about how your death would effect your family never even entered your head. You have never been in so much pain you needed to be gone, for it to be over. Yes, Robin Williams had money, and resources available to him, he had a family and fans who loved him. But if he really knew that he would still be here today. Stop judging. Take the curtain away from mental illness. It is real, it can effect anyone. It isnt something anyone would choose, because it sucks. Cook County Jail in Chicago is filled with mentally Ill people, the homeless, your neighbor, the rich, the famous, the doctor, the construction worker. Its all around us, lets deal with it. And if you are suffering, quit denying it, there is help, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Im going to admit publicly that I am on anti depressants and see a therapist. Because I want a good quality of life and I dont want to ever be in a place of no hope. Judge that.
