Ignorant post, mate. Family support is important but by itself it is not going to cure clinical depression. Get yourself educated.Nice read mate.
Did I say something bad btw? It think he would have gotten through it if he had close family by.
I worked for 7 years as a detective and I know what stress and depression is all about. Carried 300 dockets bout 30 of them murder cases, new cases coming in court cases then brought forward dates with deadlines where they get inspected where they can give you a bad rep if it ain't up to scratch so I am not talking just out the air its what I went through as well.
No we are not. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay different.This could be one of the ignorant and offensive things I've ever read. PaarlBox it takes more courage to talk about your problems then it does to cut someone down for doing so.
Australia men are raised in the same way. Hence what makes this an act of courage, not of being a chicken.
I had much respect for Clyde before this, and now i have twice as more. Well down son, thanks for being a man about life's problems.
Depression is actually a chemical / hormone imbalance in the brain that is triggered by a lot of things including tramua, illness, and nothing.
I rate people committing suicide as the most selfish you get.I've worked on & off in mental health for years. SFR, you nailed it. How often, when someone attempts suicide, do we hear people say "I didn't even know he/she was depressed"? All the time. Another comment I've heard over & over from patients is "I couldn't tell anyone".
I've been to a lot of funerals in my life but the one I remember the most vividly was at age 15. My friend Damian laid himself down on train tracks, I'm guessing because "he couldn't tell anyone". We didn't even know he was depressed...

why swearing iso argue the point? Maybe a patient iso working?And there's my daily dose of "life is like a cactus- every time you turn around, there's another prick"
Paarlbok's comments, however blunt and perhaps misdirected are highly indicative of many males opinions of mental health issues, and not to mention, holistic health care in general ..... Those who have lost friends due to this illness will understand exactly what I mean... A simple chat with a mate could change everything.
thats not worthy of your usual standard PB.So he is acting like a typical spoiled brat. Maybe a good thing he chicken run to Aus. We all have to deal with depression.
He did not mean it like it sounded or came out. Its just a cultural difference between us and you guys. Things like that is part of everyones life here and we are raised to get a grip grab your balls and toughen up basically. So it was not said with harmful intent.
