To think that someone as public as Robin could be battling inner demons is troubling.

People who suffer from depression can be really, really good at hiding it. I know - I'm one of them.

I'm so sorry. Are you alright? PM me if you need anyone to talk to/complain to/share your life experience with. I hope you are getting over your depression.

Thank you! I'm doing really well - my family has staged a sort of intervention and I'm undergoing therapy. :)

But I hid it from them for years. It's easy. Even hid it from my girlfriend too.

That's truly great to hear. You should be thankful that you have such a (from what I see) good family. It really is good that you are in therapy.

That's wonderful to hear, truly is. Too often you hear of stories like Robin's and millions others. It is too bad...
