Bipolar Recorder Project

I am absolutely heartbroken. 💔 I was just with RJ a few days ago. We spent hours hanging out and talking, played in a charity golf tournament, and I took him on his very first hot air balloon ride. When it was time for him to leave, I dropped him off at the airport to head home. It was incredibly difficult to watch him walk away because I knew he was struggling with some difficult feelings. I offered him a place in my home where he could take a step back, reset, and have some time to think without the pressures of everyday life. But he told me he needed to go, so I made him promise to call me if he ever needed to talk or needed anything at all. 😔 I first met RJ in 2009 while filming Breaking Bad, and we remained friends all these years. He was genuinely one of the kindest people I have ever known. He treated everyone he met with warmth, compassion, and respect. RJ was also a passionate advocate for disability awareness and rights. He frequently spoke at schools and nonprofit organizations, offering encouragement, hope, and inspiration to people with disabilities. He wanted them to know that they could live full, meaningful lives, just as he did. He gave so much of himself to his community and made a difference in the lives of so many people. We have lost a truly beautiful soul, a compassionate human being 🙏🏼😔 PLEASE BE KIND. You never truly know what someone else may be going through behind closed doors. Check in on your loved ones, your friends, your colleagues, and anyone who might be struggling or simply need someone to listen. Never underestimate the power of a conversation, a kind word, or letting someone know they are not alone. Sometimes, simply being there for someone can make all the difference. If you are going through a difficult time, please, PLEASE reach out to someone. You do not have to face your struggles alone. Talk to a friend, a loved one, or someone you trust. If you are in the United States and need immediate emotional support, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Please check on one another. Please listen. Please show compassion. And above all, BE KIND. ❤️ #RIP #restinpeace #RJMitte #MentalWellness
