The day I was "discharged" from the place that was supposed to help me, I came home to find out the sad news about Robin Williams. Very tragic. He's a great actor who makes me laugh. Although I do not suffer from bipolar disorder, I can relate to this man a lot. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety as well as a long history of substance abuse (cocaine mostly) and an eating disorder.

It sounds like things were too painful for him to continue. I know the feeling sadly enough, but I just don't have the guts to do anything like what he did.

I'm not suicidal but I have been in the past.

Just remember, that each day is a gift and try to do something to help yourself or another living being to make your "dash" count!
