Am i wrong? people who do this are out of there mind pls dont judge him, your a great bloke who wouldn do that to his family great fella you are I doubt Gary Speed was asking for sympathy from anyone, seems like something bothered him so much that he didn't want to be around. Sympathy goes to his family completely, the sympathy i'd have with Speed was that he was obviously very unhappy and chose what he chose. People may say it's selfish of him to do that to his family but, as above, his mental state might have been all over the place. It doesn't matter if he was a football player or a cook, he seemed to be a very nice guy all around. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Am i wrong? You've obviously never encountered depression in you life. There is no rhyme or reason to it and it's a dreadfully sad and debilitating disease. We will never know what the situation was but the simple fact is there may not have been one reason for it. Interestingly Stan Collimore posted a very insightful tweet about depression last night. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/ecoqm1?refid=12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i wrong? The consideration for others may prevent a lot of people from commiting suicide but it's easy to think that you wouldn't put your family and friends through this when you're feeling well and haven't suffered mental problems. None of us have any idea of the situation he was in and what was going through his mind so we cannot make any judgements. Some people can be in total despair and in such a horrible place mentally that they cannot cope with it any longer unfortunately, my brother suffers from serious depression so I can fully appreciate the problems people can have. He'll be very sadly missed. (Newcastle supporter, watched my first game in 1982 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly Stan Collimore posted a very insightful tweet about depression last night. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/ecoqm1?refid=12 You're presuming he had depression. You might be right but there are a whole host of alternatives. For example something or someone pushed him over the edge or an accident, I.e sex play or just DIY gone wrong. The wife's dad has acute depression and MS. The drugs help but life is hard for the whole family. He could be just normal or he could be saying he is booking a flight to a Swiss clinic. I always say there is normal Bob and depressed Bob. We just hope each day brings normal Bob. In any event, I think it is a huge shame.

Getrag Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think its a huge shame and very sad indeed. I've never had depression and dont every wish it and dont claim to know what its like but i do understand it academically and from people ive known and attempted similar. Its a disease and a blackness over your life and every thought you have. To say its selfish is just a lack of knowledge and understanding of it. The last thing a person in this situation would want is attention. Imagine how utterly lost you would have to be that your closest family isnt enough to counter the darkness. Its a battle, not a selfish thing. You wouldnt say to a diabetic, come on you, just get your blood sugar in order will you! The same is impossible to do if your neurochemistry and hard-wiring is out of whack. There is a huge huge stigma over this and we should be more accepting and try to be understanding instead of making snap judgements. Saying that we dont have all the information and are still guessing. Thoughts to his family. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thought-provoking thread. I tended to agree with skippyboyo at first, but the other posts have made me think otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
