I get the feeling a lot of people are farming for likes on this post.
The very fact you say they 'claim to suffer' is already playing down their condition. You think he packed in playing years early and then made up a story so he could make a couple of hundred quid from a guardian article on depression? You're either trolling, a massive ignorant or just an absolute idiot. Either way, you're getting the responses such a ridiculous statement deserves.
So he really needs 10 bob.I think it all boils down to that question though - is depression real? Or is he just saying this to make a few bob now he's packed in playing?
Depression is a killer. At least it's clear you are just a troll now. It's a pitiful way to spend a Friday, getting a kick out of wumming our own fans about such a topic.I get the feeling a lot of people are farming for likes on this post.
It is not the last thing you want to do, otherwise you wouldn't have done it!So we should automatically believe everyone who claims to be suffering from a mental illness? The last thing I would want to do is mock those who are suffering, but where is the line? Why can't we have a reasoned debate on the subject without resorting to petty insults and name-calling?
Asking whether depression is real isn't a question that belongs in a reasoned debate.
Perhaps not, and personally I believe that it is very much real. Although, there are plenty of doubters about still - one quick search of "depression" on Twitter is enough to tell you that.
However, I do think it is fair to have a reasoned debate on how depression is defined and diagnosed. Where is that line between feeling fed up or down for a prolonged period of time, and depression?
There are people that believe the Earth is flat, despite us already knowing the answer to that question. Not every viewpoint has merit.
If you want a reasoned debate, steamrolling in with a sub-Hopkins point probably isn't the way to kick one off.
no you believe the councillor and professional help he received and diagnosed his depression.So we should automatically believe everyone who claims to be suffering from a mental illness?

If the earth is round how come water doesn't fall off it, you cant answer that can youThere are people that believe the Earth is flat, despite us already knowing the answer to that question. Not every viewpoint has merit.

It isn't me, mine is just a joke to clarify. Yes I remember that thread.Wasn't there a flat-earther on here a while ago? now that was an interesting thread!
You think its fair to have a reasoned debate about depression yet you suggest Kirkland might me doing this to earn a bit of money? How much do you think Kirkland is making from this?

£10 and a packet of skips would be my bet.
We are not machines and we are vulnerable, however we perceive ourself.When my mum passed away after initially being diagnosed with arthritis then turned out to be terminal cancer it shook me to the core, after she passed I tried to remain strong for my dad and sister, I am big brother that is always strong, 3 weeks later my brother in law, a manic depressive, hung himself I then remained strong for my sister in law, not having grieved I lasted around 3 months and depression hit me, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could be so weak and a pussy, I only had mild depression, every time now i have an ache or pain it worries me to the point that it creates so much tension i feel theres not much point to life thats what depression is trying to live with that fucker every time it rears its ugly fucking head,,, I feel better now that I have said it and as I type this I sit here with tears in my eyes, if you think thats attention seeking well fuck you Rb1992
Thanks Riyad i never wrote this to try and grab attention my mum passed 16 years ago and I still struggle at times, I was just giving my own experience as an example of how simple things can change massively to someoneWe are not machines and we are vulnerable, however we perceive ourself.
When bad things come knocking we are not immune. Your strength is not exposing your weakness but facing up to it.
I expect all will be liable to depression or being down, however you want to put it, and coming out the other side is not a given.
Anybody who makes light of depression should understand that they or a loved one is going to suffer.
I wish you well on your journey Stevefloyd.
Bullshit, clearly farming for likes apparently.Thanks Riyad i never wrote this to try and grab attention my mum passed 16 years ago and I still struggle at times, I was just giving my own experience as an example of how simple things can change massively to someone

Yeah, I have never, ever got this likes thing at all. I never post anything in the hope of generating likes. To me it is simply a place to air your thoughts and talk about our favourite football team.It's a forum. Most people could not care less about likes. You seem to be ploughing a furrow for attention by being deliberately controversial; are you just an attention seeker?
Good job really...I never post anything in the hope of generating likes.
Hang on, you mean you don't plot your likes vs posts in an intricate spreadsheet as a means to gauge your online social relevance and provide yourself with a shallow boost to your self-esteem? Hmmm.Yeah, I have never, ever got this likes thing at all. I never post anything in the hope of generating likes. To me it is simply a place to air your thoughts and talk about our favourite football team.
Indeed. If I was doing so I would obviously be funnier and more coherent.Good job really...
