Robin Williams

It was great sadness that I heard the news of Robin Williams tragic death.  He was a  wonderful actor and  fun to  watch.  He  had  the kind of funny face that could make you laugh when you saw it, but he could also turn it into a face that was creepy and scary when he needed  to.  From the  time he leapt on to our screens in  Mork and Mindy  to  playing  president  Rosevelt in the  Night at the Museum series, he  has made us laugh,  he has made us cry, and occasionally shudder. He has done over 80 films, drama, comedy, thriller, he has done  stand up  and  is  one of  our most  versatile  actors. There  is another  Night at  the  Museum  due  out  this  year,  I hope  he  has completed his bit so that  they don't have to change actors.  He  has such a unique voice you always know it is him. 

                   

Depression, is a mental illness that effects millions, no matter how good your life is.  NEVER EVER tell anyone to 'get over it', or to 'buck up, it may never happen'.  There is no rhyme or reason to it, it is just a terrifying illness. One minute you are on a high enjoying life, coping with your illness, the next you are spiralling downwards.

It is when you are in black despair, that tragedy can strike, and it is all over.  Anyone suffering from depression, manic, bi-polar what ever the label, are vulnerable.  If you know of anyone or think it may be a possibility, talk to them and get them help. DO NOT ignore them or tut and say get over yourself.  HELP THEM.
