Robin Williams, one of the most creative, talented beings we've ever been blessed with, has died of an apparent suicide. He was struggling with depression and had battled addiction issues. He was sober for 20 years, and then his alcohol addiction took hold again.
Robin Williams was so well loved in this town. He touched so many people with his talent, and his generosity, and his friendship. He was one of the few who people in this most self-absorbed of cities truly rooted for, and their love for him was genuine. The feeling of sadness in this town today is palpable.
If you or someone you know are struggling with depression and thinking of suicide, however fleetingly, call this number:

If you think people don't care about you, or that the world would be better off without you, you are absolutely, positively, 100% wrong.
