HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hey everybody!

I hope you all enjoyed your New Year celebrations all over the world. I took it smoothly and spent the evening with friends and family at home, with good sparkling wine and rock music =)

So, what are your plans and ideas for 2015? for me, the year will hold the release of "Winter Eyes". The release sadly had slight delays because of personal reasons (yes, 2014 was partly a difficult year).

But now, the album is finished, only things missing are some photo shoots and an album artwork! This should be finished soon enough and I can't wait to present you all what me and my team have been working on during 2014!!

So for now, let's cure our hangovers and enjoy life ;)

Winter Wonderland

Hey!

Is everybody enjoying their Holiday season? I hope so =)

We still have no snow over here but I'm really ambivalent to it. On one hand, I love this winter wonder land feeling of a snowy landscape. On the other hand, I'm a lousy car driver  under snowy and icy cirmumstances ;)

Anyway, this Picture is just too beautiful and I wish you all a happy weekend with it!

RIP Robin Williams....and my view on depression disorder...

Hi folks!

Normally I don't write too personal or serious posts since I'm more of a private person. But this time it's different.

The world has lost a wonderful actor, versatile and with the ability to even play difficult character roles. Rest in Peace Mr. Robin Williams :(

We lost him obviously because of his depression disorder as public information goes. He committed suicide.
Now I've been reading different reactions. Among them were posts like "There is never a reason for suicide! I'm disappointed in him" "You always have the possibility to choose whether you look at things in a positive or negative way" etc.

The last sentence may be true for many people, including me, as I'm all for positive thinking and changing the point of view. However, if someone isn't just a little down or in a sad mood but REALLY suffering from depression, it's not a matter of "positive thinking" anymore. This person has a medical disease that needs to be treated.

I have a very close friend who has been suffering from manic depression throughout his whole life. His father did, and his grandfather did too. It is painful to witness how he is almost acting lunatic one time, refusing to sleep or eat, burning out all his energy for crazy "projects" that may have a psychotic touch in them, being absolutely immune to anything you may try to tell him.
Then the big break comes. He is lying in bed, refusing to even get up, just staring at the wall and blabbering how he failed throughout his whole life, how he is the biggest loser and ashamed of himself, not wanting to live anymore.
On top of this, he already had a heart attack some years ago. The way he is constantly refusing to eat, drink or sleep surely isn't exactly what helps his physical condition.

And then there are the ones close to him. Totally helpless and devastated. Living with the constant fear of losing him way too early. Legally, you can't force anyone to get treatment unless he is a serious danger for others or himself. May be the case here? In theory, but practically most people are released from hospital within a very short time if they had been dragged there against their will.

Like many others, my friend also refuses to admit that he is suffering from this mental disease. He claims that he is surely "not crazy" and therefore not willing to get any therapy or taking medicaments that would help him.
Society isn't a big help here because, let's face it, people suffering from depression are still too often called "just weak" and being told "to get themselves together". Who wants to be called crazy?

As we now see with the tragic death of Mr. Williams, society needs to change their attitude towards mental diseases as they are nothing different to physical diseases. Not putting a stigma on the suffering. But showing support and understanding.

That would be truly an amazing change.
