So in light of recent events I wanted today's journal entry to be about depression. On August 11, Robin Williams committed suicide because he was suffering from depression. He was a favorite actor of mine and this saddened me deeply. As someone who has also suffered from depression, it hit home for me. Although I don't want to go into detail at the moment about why I suffered from depression I will give you a small insight into it.
Depression isn't an emotion, it's not necessarily the same thing as sadness. In fact, it's the complete opposite. You don't feel sad, you feel numb. You loose the ability to laugh, smile, and (sometimes) even cry
