Robin Williams: despair, depression, bullying

[Loz43]

With the terrible news of Robin Williams losing his battle with depression really hit home today, even though I have never been suicidal it has crossed my mind. I was so saddened that he felt so helpless and couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel

Then today at work a co-worker was bullying another co-worker and I just couldn't let it go. I had a word with my boss and said how upset  that I was with this situation and it was uncalled for and totally disrespectful. What if this person that was being

bullied suffered depression it could have been so detrimental to her health.  I am proud of myself for speaking up as I probably wouldn't have wanted to rock the boat in the past. I am feeling sad about Robin Williams and I am so upset, angry and my heart aches for the person who was being bullied today.

I just needed to share with you all as I don't really have anyone close that I can share these feelings with

sorry this is a late reply but I just joined the board. when I heard about Robin Williams I was so sad, it seems he couldn't shoo the Black Dog away this time 😞 I'm wondering if he had any help for his depression? because in interviews I'd seen he'd only talked about getting help for alcohol addiction. good on you Loz43 for standing up for your co-worker >=:) sadly there are people in this world who do not think of others (as I have found out) and the consequences can be very serious. 

RIP Robin Williams and lets all keep trying to take one day at a time, one moment at a time. make sure you have something that you enjoy eg: music. I love my music and there's nothing better than listening to my ELVIS live cds, or my fav. guitarists. at the moment my fav. cd is the soundtrack to 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' >=:D "I AM GROOT"
