Blowing the myth: You are not alone

In the fall out of the suicide of Robin Williams, this phrase has been used over & over: You are not alone.

YES you are. You feel totally alone in that black hole of hopelessness. And your feeling is what counts.

You do have friends who care, they just don't know your pain because you are so good at hiding it. Unless they are very very astute, no one will just guess what you are suffering.

It is a must for us, as sufferers of depression, to let that wall down. Bring in your near & dear, your wise, your non-judgemental family and friends. Let them help you. Do Not deny that you need them. You do. Then, and only then will you not be alone.
