Alistair Campbell - Depression and Me

[Sid Pervcat]

He may well be depressed.
This does not stop him being a warmongering shitcunt.

Yeah nobody really has depression,it's all made up

It is amazing how quickly discussing mental health has become normalised. Not too long ago people were worried talking about this stuff at work in case they were viewed as weak. Much progress has been made, just need the NHS funding to make it worthwhile.

Counselling should be available for everyone on the NHS.

Agreed, and whilst drugs can play their part, their side effects and withdrawal symptoms are underplayed by GPs.

More people should be encouraged to go and try CBT.

Alistair Campbell is a lying, patronising, warmongering bully, who plays the depression card to get attention. If he doesn't warrant being called a cunt, then no-one does.

Possibly the most stupid comment of the year so far.

As you are a mod I am really disappointed you haven't read what I wrote.

What has being a mod got to do with it ? Are you saying mods should be better readers?

I said there were people on here who are depressed; some who know it, and some who don't. It had nothing to do with agreeing or not agreeing with me. Not even specifically D and D.

Firstly, I find it breathtakingly arrogant, for you to say that there are some people on here who are depressed, but don't know about it. What are you basing that diagnosis on, and who are they? Furthermore, I think it's everything to do with agreeing and not agreeing, as I think your list will prove. Prove me wrong, by telling us who is depressed from the left, but doesn't know they are. It's just another way of saying you don't agree with me, so there's something wrong with you. It's a low tactic.

I am saying that if you are a mod you should be reading what people post, not what you would like them to have posted so you can slap them.
What list?
I am making a serious point. There are people on this forum who appear to have no life beyond it; people who relentlessly, on every topic, look to be negative. No sense of perspective, no willingness or capability to engage apparently in case it challenges some aspect of their beliefs.Quick to anger to try to cope.
Nothing whatever to do with left, right , centre or anything else.
All classic symptoms of depression.
If you can't see that I am amazed.

Maybe they just like shitposting?

On Campbell I respect that he's been very open about his mental health and honest that he's turned down many lucrative opportunities to protect himself. For someone whose public image was that of a bruiser its been a powerful narrative.

[delboy1983]

His doctor would have given him the green light to bare his soul as unburdening does help.

[Sid Pervcat]

Shut up Derek.
Stop trolling for sympathy.

Care to elaborate Doctor Hillman?

[Carlos J]

Let's be careful out there:

He may well be depressed.

Indeed.

You aren't getting it Hillman are you!?

Just because in your opinion, and let's be clear about that, it's your opinion, not a fact, you believe that some posters have no sense of perspective, do not engage in debate, and are always negative, it does not automatically mean they are clinically depressed and are ill.

As I said, it's amazing that you think that you have enough knowledge of members of this forum to pass that sort of judgement on them. To me, that is just another way of goading posters who don't agree with you. You need to step down of that tall horse.

But a true comment.
