(i did not make this qoute photo and not sure who did, it is all over the internet)
first of all, i want to say R.I.P. to a brilliant man. i am deeply saddened by his death. i share the same birthday as him. i knew many things about robin williams, i knew he struggled with drug addiction and alcoholism, he went through a couple of divorces. however i never knew he suffered from depression, which is what i believe ultimately lead to his suicide. i have more in common with this man than i ever knew. i have battled with depression for years as well. and as tragic as his death is, i think it sheds a huge light on the fact that depression is a serious thing.

out of all of the mental illnesses, i have always felt this is one that is often overlooked and not considered 'that bad' to struggle with. people don't want to take the time to realize how much people suffer from it every single day, until eventually it becomes unmanageable, and then one day it's too late. i can't begin to describe how horrible it feels. it's like there's a demon inside of you, making you feel and think things, hating yourself and your life for no real reason. it torments you and puts you in so much pain, sometimes it even controls you and you're constantly fighting to overcome it, and when you can't, you're fighting desperately to hide it while trying to go on with your life normally. it can destroy your life and your relationships when it gets too hard to manage. it's not that you WANT to feel miserable, it's more like you don't have a choice. it's like you're drowning all of the time.

this video right here, i think this guy really hit the nail on the head:

the sad thing is, people do not take depression seriously. because unless people have it to deal with it themselves on a regular basis, they cannot understand it and do not understand how hard it really is, and how sick people who have it really are. unless you have a physical gaping wound that people can see, or a visible sickness, it is not considered a problem to others. people look at it as you are weak, or just wanting attention. depression is very serious, and sadly, most of the time people do not realize how bad it really is until it is too late and the person takes their life. so please, if you know someone who is suffering, try reaching out for them. you may not know how to help, but just make sure they aren't alone in it. no one should have to fight it alone. it's a hard thing to handle, and many people give up on the depressed person eventually.

sad to say, but this tragic incident might open more eyes more to the suffering of others when they are in need. most depressed people don't want pity, but just to know that they aren't alone. robin blessed us with his ability to make the world a lighter place.
robin williams was a very successful and brilliant man, who brought joy and laughter to millions of people. yet even he lost a battle to depression. i hope he is at peace now oh captian, my captian
