I had a whole lot to say tonight about my own medical stuff but was stopped dead in my tracks by the loss of Robin Williams today.
As a person who struggles daily with severe depression, I know all too well to be the funny person on the outside and pouring rain inside. A friend of mine said it best, that depression is so big that it can even make someone as famous and loved as Robin Williams feel so insignificant in this world. The money, the love, the family, the friends, none were able to fight off those demons inside. His suffering has ended, he wasn't able to win that battle. My heart is now with those he left behind, his wife who has told the world she has lost her best friend in the world. I am so sad with this news. I am sad that there are things in life that can cause so much pain and anguish that we feel helpless to come up with a better plan to deal with it.
Rest In Peace old friend, may heaven shine a little brighter with your laughter and light.
