Ive seen mostly messages of sadness at the passing of Robin Williams, but I have also seen some judgmental posts. Unless you have been through the pain of depression, I dont think you should speak about it or its effects. I have been there...continue to be there on occasion. I take meds, which of course make all the difference. I know Im loved by family and friends. I know I have a good life, but that doesnt mean depression cant get to me. About a month ago, I let one of my prescriptions run out and didnt fill it for 4 days. I definitely noticed the difference. Please, please, please understand this is an illness. You cannot pray it away. You cannot be cured. You can be loved/liked and still feel like you dont matter. I hope Robin Williams death makes people realize that depression really does hurt. And if you havent experienced it, count your blessings but dont judge those who have.
