Hey everyone I am in total shock about the death of actor and comedian Robin Williams I saw it yesterday on my Facebook and i just could not believe that he died He was an awesome actor I loved all of his movies. he was so funny. He did suffer from depression for a long time and he had other battles he was fighting. but you never knew it when he was acting This just proves that we need to take it more serous when people say that are depressed its nothing to play around with RIP robin Williams you will be missed

He will be greatly missed. He was a shinning star in the world and loved by many.

I almost cried this morning when I heard the news. Then when I heard that he committed suicide and that he battled with depression, I became depressed myself. Here was a man who had it all... Money, fame, love, etc. and yet he lost his battle with depression. I don't have half of what he had to support him... It makes me wonder if I will lose my battle as well....

I have been crying over this since I learned of his passing yesterday afternoon. I feel as though a huge part of my childhood has died with him. Rest in peace Robin

Yes, I agree, Tabby, mental illness is cunning and deceptive. You just do not know. Having given medications to people in my care and watched them, and having to take them myself, yes I will absolutely agree that we we when ill still retain the capability to deceive others greatly...just another example of how mental illness still cannot touch intelligence and talent, yet can twist the mind of its sufferer. With someone who had so much to live for (we don't know everything that went on) it does seem to stack proof in the direction that depression is not always tied to the cause of not "having anything going for us." As Williams had EVERYTHING going for him, or so we thought. No loser in life, that is for sure. It points to the cunning of disease.

Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...
