I'm really glad you're here.

This was a rough one for me - I felt like I'd been slapped in the face when I heard the news. It's hard to imagine someone that full of manic energy just...stopping.

If there's even a tiny bit of a silver lining, it's that more people than I've ever seen before are talking about depression, the effects it can have on people, and how to find help for it. Maybe it's one small step towards undoing the stigma around mental illnesses.
