Ive suffered from depression for close to 20 years, most recently upgraded to major depression & PTSD after witnessing my son shot & killed just feet away from me. Depression isnt just being sad & sufferers arent able to just get over it or be happy. It gnaws at your inner core, at your soul. I wont lie & say there havent been days where its crossed my mind that not waking up would make the world a better place because Ive truly thought it & believed it. The resouces to cope with depression have a bad reputation & are associated with the severe mentally challenged - yanno, homeless people who talk to themselves or look like theyre fighting invisible ninjas. Depression doesnt care who you are or what your social status is. If you know someone is suffering from depression and may appear okay on the outside, take a minute or so to just say hi, see what theyve been up to - it really does make a difference. Its not a cure. But little things like that can make a difference. Your random text might just change a person who is sufferings path of thinking. Going from im alone, i have no friends, what do I contribute on this earth, who would miss me if im gone, people would be better off without me around to oh wow, that was nice, someone does care that im breathing type of thing. life is so short..make sure to tell people in your life that you love them and care about them. #RIPROBINWILLIAMS
