As you all know, Robin Williams passed away earlier this week. His loss has sent ripples across the world, and I wanted to create a thread to share memories about how his work made us all laugh.

Many know that Robin battled addiction his entire life, but an underlying cause of these battles is another personal struggle: depression. Depression is real, it is soul-crushing, and very many times, it is inescapable if you attempt to fix the problem yourself. If you are depressed, even considering suicide, you can get help. Please follow these links below. As Robin himself said, "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
