“Seven years ago, Lin-Manuel Miranda came to the White House Poetry Jam. He took the mic and announced that he and his musical collaborator, Alex Lacamoire, were going to perform a song from a hip-hop album they were working on, and I’m quoting him, ’about the life of somebody who embodies hip-hop, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton’. And so, we all started laughing, but Lin-Manuel was serious. And who’s laughing now?” - Barack Obama

Goodbye.

“If she was looking down that day she would have been surprised to see that she was no longer there, and vexed that service had come to a standstill. The world was hers no longer and she wanted no memorial, but her work carried on and the love that lived belonged to her, and the hope that knew no end.”

A Daily Show throwback | 2009.05.13

Yes, I believe that is Lin-Manuel Miranda rapping Alexander Hamilton at a White House ‘Poetry Jam’ back in 2009… and Mr. Jon Stewart is totally mocking him for it !

I think our master satirist owes someone an apology… ^^

I was just wondering, how did you feel when your doctor suggested going on anti-depressants? My therapist of several months suggested it to me today and while logically I know it's probably a good idea, I can't help but feel like I'm broken, you know? Like, I'm worse than I thought I was. Did you feel like this or know anyone who felt something similar?

First of all, Depression Lies. It tells you that you’re weak and unworthy and terrible and that you’re never going to be able to get out from under it.

Depression lies like that because it wants to protect itself and keep on controlling your life.

Depression is a dick, and I want to encourage you to listen to your therapist and let him or her help you.

Now I want you to imagine that you have a fever, and your whole body hurts, and you’ve been coughing up all sorts of awful gunk for days. You’re miserable, so you go to the doctor.

The doctor says, “oh, you have this terrible infection in your body, so I’m going to give you some medicine to help your body get better, and some other medicine to help you not suffer while your body works on that.”

Imagine that you then say, “I don’t want to do that, because I feel sort of broken if I take those medications. I feel like I’m weak or something, and if I take those medications that you know will help me feel better, I’m admitting that my body needs some help so I can stop suffering. I think I’ll keep on suffering and hope it gets better.”

Or you go to your doctor because you’ve been feeling crummy and she runs some tests and she says, “Well, it turns out that you have diabetes, but you’re in luck! You can take some medicine, and it’ll treat it. You’ll probably have to take it for a long time, maybe even your whole life, but you’ll get well and feel better!”

Do you say, “No, I think I’ll just deal with it,” and continue suffering?

Of course not! You would treat any illness with medication if you could, and you’d put a cast on a broken leg and walk with crutches if you needed to, because walking on a broken leg really really really hurts, and you don’t need to suffer through that pain!

Mental illness is exactly the same as a physical illness. Your body has something that’s out of whack – in our case, it’s how our brains handle neurochemicals and stuff – and there’s medication that can help us help ourselves feel better.

You’re not broken, and you’re not weak, and if you’re now thinking that you’re worse than you thought you were? Well, that’s really awesome, because it means that you recognize that your brain needs some help to get healthy, and your doctor is there to help you do that.

It takes courage to take the chance on medication, and the first one you try may not work, because brains are all different and incredibly complicated, but something will work, and you will feel better, and you will be so glad that you took the step to take care of yourself.

Please check in with me in a month or so, and let me know how you’re doing.
