Never Give Up – Remembering Robin Williams

Pisan Finnick waters diving deep once
again never give up that’s the message
remembering robin williams who passed
away from an apparent suicide Robin
Williams dealt with depression he had a
struggle with his alcohol addiction but
for me he was a genius who touched the
lives of so many and he made you laugh
everyone I know who watched a Robin
Williams film was laughing if it was
funny mrs. Doubtfire was one of my
favorites and his work will live on but
many people around the world are dying
you have people in Gaza as a
criminologist I see the police brutality
as a psychologist and counselor I deal
with people who have severe depression
who suffer from suicidal thoughts and as
an infinite being
I realize how precious life is if life
is becoming too difficult never give up
there is a whole load of research on
comedians and they’re linked to
depression so how can people who make us
laugh so much not be able to make
themselves love what we begin to see if
we dive deeper is that the mind is
incredibly complex and no matter how
much money you have no matter how famous
you are problems will still follow you
and if you know someone who is going
through a hard time right now
depression suicidal thoughts listen
without judgment because it is not easy
depression doesn’t care how much money
you have these are real situations
people are dealing with and they are
very difficult to overcome what I have
seen can help people is asking yourself
one question are you choosing happiness
because it’s not about making other
people love it’s all about becoming the
source of your own happiness and a great
way to help overcome depression is by
changing your diet
I found along my journey when I was
going through a troubling time that just
moving to a plant-based diet helped me
lift my mood because it increases the
serotonin we are feeling amazing and it
is helping to alter our perception but
also realizing that if you are with
someone who is dealing with severe
depression allow them to express how
they really feel without judgment but
also direct them to someone that can
help them a professional a psychologist
such as myself because many times they
say people that smile the most have the
saddest lives I don’t agree with that
but many times in society we don’t want
to talk about things such as suicide and
depression but this is my job
I am counseling people daily with a
whole range of issues and myself I am
working on myself to bring myself into
more in harmony I have found that
mindfulness helps meditation daily
exercise all of this helps what we can
learn from Robin Williams and other
people who are dealing with severe
depression or suicidal thoughts is that
their life is precious everyone’s life
is precious and we really don’t know how
much we affect people until we are no
longer here so never give up because you
are worthy I see it like this once you
do what you love once you choose what
makes you most happy depression begins
to leave you but also seeing that
happiness is a choice it is always a
choice and therefore it is all of our
responsibility to help each other along
this journey because you may look at
someone but you don’t even know what
they’re dealing with on the inside you
may have a beautiful model everyone says
oh my goodness she is so beautiful but
she looks in the mirror and she says I’m
fat I’m ugly I don’t want to be here so
we have to become that support network
for people like them but ask yourself
today are you choosing happy
Robin Williams accomplished what many of
us would hope and dream of he made an
impact on so many people’s lives so from
me there is no judgment I appreciate his
life and just remind yourself to choose
happiness and remember at the end of the
day the only thing that matters is whom
had the most fun we are here in the
finis waters diving deep once again stay well stay healthy
