Niall Breslin - Carrying the hopes of a nation

[Kyle]

I sometimes get panic attacks at night… i just tell myself that this is temporary, it will pass, there is no danger. Soon enough peace is restored.

Peace is within the unknown

A very good friend of mine knew Bressie very well for a long time, including living with him. For over 6 months. Bressie is a hungry cunt (wouldnt pay rent) and his back stories are utter bollox.
Thats not to say we shouldnt talk about mental health or anything else, just to say, it shouldnt be him swallowing airtime on the issue.
Also, he should quit being Jim Gavin and should pay the lads the rent he owes them, the hungry cunt.

How much does he owe them?

We’ve been here before. Its neither of them.

[Bandage]

Bressie’s ex Roz Purcell just announced her marriage & posted wedding pics on Insta. She’s looking absolutely unreal.

[backinatracksuit]

It feels like this is a well worn path.
This conversation stems from something he wrote about his girlfriend’s miscarriage, can we assume it happened?
Then assuming she gave him permission why not write about it, could it be of help to somebody? Talking about miscarriage is much easier if you already have healthy children, I also have experience in this regard, I presume many of us do.

Are we better off in this age of oversharing (in some cases and media) or in the stiff upper lip days of old when mental health issues were only spoken of in hushed tones and victims locked away.

I don’t know anything about Bressie beyond the basics but it feels like the baby is going out with the bath water when he’s involved (on TFK )

43 posts in here would beg to differ

This is an interesting thread, but reading it wouldn’t make you an expert on Bressie
I read lots of threads here, not all mind you.
I know he was a rugby player and a singer and he writes books about depression (I think). The biggest thing I know about him from TFK is that manly men despise him

So you know very little about his agenda, but you wade in anyway to try and oppose people that upset you.

About 15 posts since yesterday which aren’t about Bressie at all,
It’s an interesting thread but his material isn’t my type of thing.
He seems like an alright fella in the few media appearances I’ve seen or heard.

Would you say anybody on this thread has read his stuff or listened to his podcast or whatever

Bullet point

• Yes i would presume its true.

• I think his first thought was to monetise it

• No i dont think this is anything like as painful for men as it is for women

• i think its a space men need to mostly shut the fuck up and just let tge light shine on the much greater hurt and despair that women feel over it. Apart from the grift, this is my main concern, some fucking grifter gets the airtime rather than an actual medical practioner.

@Juhniallio

If Bressie didn’t want to make money from this book he could definitely announce something like he would donate the money to a charity or organisation that works in this area supporting people bereaved by miscarriage. That would appease the cynics somewhat I’d imagine

[Kyle]

The man that charges schools 5k + for an hour talk … 2.5 for him and 2.5 for Jeffery

[farmerinthecity]

There are so many examples of that out there.

You’re thinking if you are such a campaigner for a cause then hand the money over to a charity in the area.

[farmerinthecity]

He doesn’t do personal consultations though.

The neck of the cunt,

The first is a no brainer, I never even countenanced that.

On the other, is the feeling that you could be heartbroken at the loss of your child but you need to shut the fuck up? Does expressing your emotion somehow take from your female partners pain?
I don’t get it

And earning a few quid off it.

[KinvarasPassion]

Of all the hills that fellas could choose to die on…. I’d never have predicted the credibility of Niall Breslin to be one.

[backinatracksuit]

From my side (and I assume I’m the target here) this isn’t about Bressie,
It could be anybody writing about a male perspective on miscarriage.

Or the fact that Ireland had a long history of burying mental health issues.
That’s been the focus on my posts, lads are getting bogged down in thread titles, these things take on a life of their own
