We've got a feature running on our website here which we hope will raise awareness and help people suffering from depression and stress, not only in sport but everywhere. Please take a moment to read it and share if you could to highlight the effects and help to break the taboo that still surrounds this illness...
Going down a similar route, I once went to a pantomime which was in aid of schizophrenia, it was all going well until somebody shouted out, "he's behind you"
Well, i'm depressed so i'm projecting my own emotionally-frayed feelings on to others, you ****ing mincing queer.
That's because you work in a fairground, those aren't a true reflection of yourself, don't worry buddy, cheer up.
Don't worry mate, he is only being like that because of your username, he thinks you are black and bald. He is the biggest racist hippy on this forum by far.
I saw a book titled "Anxiety and Depression For Dummies" yesterday in the bookshop... Not sure it's the brightest idea to label someone looking for mental health help a "dummy".
Why all the focus on ****in sports people. There are plenty of us that have manic depression and anxiety that are not sports people. **** 'em. By the way if a Rangers fan suffered extreme bouts of high and lows would he/she be a Bi-Polar Bear? Just saying like.
Well I am one of those but aint a mincer - aint been called that since the 70s when I had a Keegan perm and wore flares...
You've not been called eightball since the 70s, or you haven't been called a racist hippy since the 70s? I am genuinely confused, which doesn't take much to be fair.
Of course depression isn't being effectively combatted in sport. Every time i come out of Coral i feel like throwing myself under a train. It's Cheltenham in 2 weeks - I'll be hanging from a bridge come Friday night
