Seriously, Shiny?

Heaven forbid certain aspects of life affecting people differently. Inconceivable.
Seriously, Quin? That's not what I meant by that. I meant that if he killed himself because he thought Parkinson's would end his career (one of the things anyway), it's not career ending. Michael J. Fox has been acting for a while. Many people who act and survive day to day have a slew of problems including depression. I know different things effect people differently, but even so, a large majority of people in the world are depressed there just isn't an open discussion about it because many people are made to feel unsafe and I can honestly see why; a lot of people are dicks. There's a quote that says, something something "many people are more alike then we're are unlike" and that's definitely true. Everyone has their own struggle.

Anyway I found this today: http://youtu.be/Wcmx-kKGECM

In the first few minutes he describes he was just out of rehab. It's no secret that he had been in and out of rehab for drug abuse and alcohol addiction for much of his career. I honestly think that his battle with relapsing wasn't mainly over Parkinson's but other things in life that he couldn't get a grip of. Suicide is a personally hard thing for me to deal with because it's very close to home. I only wish that it was enough to love and care for someone enough so that they would not take their lives.
