'Supernatural' Actors Jensen and Jared Help Raise Awareness for Depression, Admit They Have Gone Down the "Dark Road"

With their charity campaign ‘Always Keep Fighting’, ‘Supernatural’ actor Jared Padalecki raked in the necessary funds for non-profit organization To Write Love on Her Arms to reach their goals in supporting individuals experiencing addiction, depression and suicidal tendencies.

In addition, the 32-year-old actor also drew attention to raising awareness for mental illness after the suicide of a close friend or family member.

With the aid of ‘Supernatural’ fans, who continue to support the series even if it is already headed towards its season 10 finale, the T-shirt campaign has already gained considerable success.

Now, Padalecki has joined forces with co-star Jensen Ackles and the duo has already come up with a joint fund to promote a number of causes and support people suffering from mental illness and mood disorders, among others.

Why Supernatural Star Jared Padalecki Is Speaking Out About Mental Illness

It's really hard to put into words. It's been amazing. Hopefully it's helping to destigmatize these issues, because it's all around us. It's ubiquitous, and people hide it. If somebody has cancer, they're not embarrassed to have cancer – they know it's not their fault. They know it's a struggle. But, for some reason, if someone says they're depressed, they assume that people are going to look at them like they have three heads. Hopefully, this is helping to start a conversation.

Just watched

'Dr Horrible'a Sing-Along Blog' on TV (it was on the CW), and I must say it made the transition from webseries to TV pretty well, although on my tiny TV you couldn't see much of Bad Horse's posse. But it was fun to watch and sing along. I particularly like the songs 'My Eyes' and 'Brand New Day'. If you haven't watched, please find it online and do so. It's fun. You can learn more at DrHorrible.com.

Also, there were several commercials for the series premiering tomorrow on CW called 'Arrow' (based on the Green Arrow comic books. I must say the man playing the lead, Stephen Amell, is, well, hot (thankfully, I am not quite old enough to be his mother, unless I had him at 14, so I feel fine about lusting a bit). I may watch 'Supernatural' tomorrow and give this a go just to see what it's like while I'm on that station. (Incidentally, of the two Winchesters, I prefer Sam (Jared Padalecki), although two friends prefer Dean (Jensen Ackles). But it may just be me liking the more 'sensitive' character. Oh, well.

Okay, having partaken of Dr Horrible goodness (or, actually, evilness), I think I'm going to turn in. Good night.
