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.
