I was so shocked to find out Kate Spade had taken her own life but after hearing what her sister had said I now understand. According to the designers' sister, she suffered from server depression that she tried to medicate herself with alcohol. She seemed obsessed with death and refused help because she was afraid of how people would change their opinion of her "Happy go Lucky" personality. It's just so sad. According to her sister, many had given up trying to get Kate help because it became painful to watch her continue to spiral. I pray for anyone who is suffering from depression that you get help and not worry what others may think of you. Thir opinion is not worth your life.
