RIP Robin Williams

I was never aware of his depression and substance abuse seems to go hand and hand with Hollywood today now anyways, so this came to me as quite a shock that he had such demons.

Rest in Peace Robin. May you finally find the happiness you gave to so many others.

I am heartbroken.

I am not afraid to say I have met his daemons and am blessed to eventually fight them off each time they pay me a visit.
No one is excused from depression, not the rich, not the famous, no one.
Hard for most to understand, even those who have it.
If all it took was a shrink or a pill, boy what a wonderful world it would be. Unfortunately, it is much more complex than that.

My heart goes out to his family and may he rest in peace.

Very wise words.

So much sadness for one who gave so much joy to others (and a great troop supporter).
Rest in peace, Robin.

Ain't that the truth. I'm there right now. They are trying to fight it with pills and a shrink. I'm slowly finding that while both of those are valuable tools, they themselves are not a "fix" for what happens in one's psyche. The support of my friends and girlfriend (both of whom do not judge, but instead desire to help) are exactly what I've needed.

A talk with a good friend on here reaffirmed the belief that I can't conquer it on my own. And he is 100% correct.
