Hi again all.
I'm sure I'm speaking for everyone here in wishing Stephen Fry well in his lifelong fight against his depression/bi-polar illness.

As has recently been widely reported in the media following a very courageous public interview he gave Stephen was driven by his illness into a recent suicide attempt, which nearly resulted in his death and left him with four broken ribs. Luckily he was found and successfully treated for his injuries and is now currently more stable and feeling happier.

However, as I personally know from my own 'mood disorder' problem, severe 'lows' such as this can easily overwhelm a person and people with this condition cannot rely solely on medication, but need the love and strong support of those around them when a bad bout of 'The Blues' hits.

It would be a tragic loss should Stephen Fry die in this way, he is such a likeable and hugely talented person and by his audiobook readings  has contributed much to getting JKR's Harry Potter stories known around the world. I, and I'm sure others here would all hope that no such tragedy occurs and we get to delight in Stephen's talent and intelligence for many long years to come.
Many Blessings.
John, (Oriondruid).
