What a sad day with the news of Robin Williams. He was someone that was a staple growing up.
I once had a business mentor who outwardly seemed like the happiest guy ever. He had a beautiful family, he had a small marketing business which was hard work but doing OK and I found out years later that he suffered from depression in a big way. The last person I would have expected.
I suppose I get stressed and down sometimes but I don’t think I understand what people with depression really go through. Particularly this community is vulnerable to some pretty big issues with coming out and family.
Feel free to share your comments on this.
On to more positive things, guess who is taking Friday afternoon off work? Alex….. What do you guys think that the three of us speedo boys should get up to?
Thank you for all the kind words guys. It means a lot to get wonderful comments like that.
The old guy was buried today and I’m just killing some time right now so I thought I’d post here. It has been good catching up with everyone and had a nice walk along the beach this morning with some of the rellies.
There have been some big nights drinking with the family (socially of course) and should be another cracker tonight.
One thing I have noticed in the past is when I am suffering from a hangover I feel what I think is depressed. Around mid afternoon I just can’t be bothered doing anything. It isn’t that bad but it is the only experience I have ever had which would give me some (albeit minor) appreciation for what people with depression experience.
Lately it has been happening a bit – I am still putting it down to some big nights and travelling solo I have a lot of time to think to myself.
I’d be interested to hear anyone’s comments on that.
