Getting up
I've had some issues with getting up with my alarm. I can get up for work but not so much with everyday life. School starts on Monday and I have an 8am class that I have to be alert and awake. To prep for that the last two days I have gotten up around 5:30am. Which is really early. and I'm wondering if that is too early, or is my body just not used to running on 6-7 hours of sleep? Time will only tell.

Reaction to Robin Williams
Robin Williams will be missed. He left a wonderful collection of moments that will be remembered. Huffpost Celebrity wrote this:
"Comedian Robin Williams once told an interviewer that he struggled with depression, but hadn't been diagnosed with either "clinical depression" or bipolar disorder.
Williams, 63, who had been struggling with depression before his apparent suicide on Monday, told Terry Gross on the "Fresh Air" NPR radio show in 2006 that mania was something he imitated for characters he sometimes performed. But depression, he said, was more personal.
"Do I perform sometimes in a manic style? Yes," Williams said. "Am I manic all the time? No. Do I get sad? Oh yeah. Does it hit me hard? Oh yeah.""

Why is that so many people HIDE from the rest of the world about their reality with mental illness. IS it something that we have to feel so much SHAME from? Is it because we feel like we could lose the confidence of some one we love? Is it that hard to say?
Those of us who feel shame because of what others think, and their judgements. STOP!!!
I was a little shocked but also know that Suicide is not caused by depression, it's a result. It's those that just can't take it anymore. When things get so bad that, suicide is the only way that is seen to get out of. I know this is the tricky subject, and their are many opinions, many reasons, and MANY people who give in to suicide. Their are many people who die, and everyone says that we look at what they achieved. Yes that's all fine but why not talk about what resources that there are for mental illness and when the dark times come. Please if you are reading this, spread the news that there are MANY people out there that are willing to help when living in your mind becomes difficult. There are many suicide hotlines in many parts of the world that are there for that that reason, to try and save a life.
What will Robin Williams miss?
* Family and Friends
* making people laugh
* and many more.
What will you miss IF you take your life? What will the WORLD miss if you can't be there to create amazing things?
