Tuesday, August 12, 2014: Depression

I was deeply saddened to hear of Robin William's suicide yesterday.  He was such a talented man, and will be missed by many.

Depression can be a deep hole, difficult to climb out of.  Many people suffer.  I have several friends and family members who suffer from depression.  I myself suffer occasional bouts.  Mine are mild, I have never considered something as drastic as suicide.  No matter how worthless I feel I know that it would not be worth it, that it would only hurt others.

If you suffer from depression please get help.  Talk with a friend, relative or doctor.  If you have thoughts of suicide, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24 hours a day toll free at 1-800-273-TALK.  It is not worth it.
