Thereās room for all sorts of publicity surrounding depression, itās regarded with suspicion and massive negativity here whenever somebody speaks about it publicly
I want everybody to keep on living
Iām like that guy at the Electric Picnic in 2006
And had fraudulently documented his thought process leading up to his demise, and sold exclusive viewing rights to his snuff momemt to schools for exorbitant fees.

There is no room for a con man like Bressie, that is for sure.

itās regarded with suspicion because people have used it as a tool to further their careers, thus belittling people with actual mental health issues.
A good percentage of celebrities these days talk about their anxiety and depression. itās almost like a badge of honour. Iām not saying none of them have had mental health issues, but come on, itās hard not to be cynical on this one fella

Iāll respectfully disagree with you and @farmerinthecity, it was most definitely not ācoolā when Bressie spoke out first, he may have exaggerated for effect but I have no doubt but that he has had his troubles, nobody speaks to more kids and young adults on the topic than he, perhaps heās making a few bob but what harm if heās speaking from experience
Depression and suicide among young people is frightening, Iāve had first hand experience n my extended family and the people I grew up with, I would be all for all and any discussion that helps

Brezzie for Prezzie
Absolutely but when people start using it to make cash for themselves or to avoid custodial sentences for assault itās wrong.

ah yeah, hard to argue with that, and thatās not what Iām arguing against. Raising awareness of this issue is always good.
Iām cynical of the vacuous interviews where someone casually mentions āyeah, Iām suffering from depressionā and no more about it.
Itās very hard not to be cynical about it.
All the pressures of the world today, the people turned away from God this is the cause of it.

How much does he charge schools to go talk to them?
ā¬500 notes the last I heard
itās the lack of pressure. Thereās a whole generation there that never had an ounce of hardship. Theyāre the most protected generation in history. You canāt say boo. They canāt be told they arenāt good at something. They have to get medals for participating. They donāt have to work to pay for college.
Everything is put up on a plate for them. A bit of hardship then and theyāre depressed or have mental health issues. If a child is sad these days parents are bringing them to fucking counsellors at very young ages.
To top it all off then youāve cunt celebrities normalising depression as if itās a cool thing.

hardship comes in different ways, the way things are gone now not getting a few likes on Instagram can drive people to suicide

thatās it, perspective or lack of it.
And I respectfully say that you are talking shite.
Bressie is a conman. He has overstated or lied about his background in order to obtain financial gain - and in the area of mental health and suicide that is despicable.

physical activity is going by he wayside, manual labour jobs are getting more and more automated and people are less active, they are spending time online and getting depressed looking at other people boasting all the time about their great lives, you can do everything online now, order food, shopping, watching porn, people are unable to deal with anything in real life

OK mate, get it off your chest, itās an all windā¦
I agree in the most part. We arenāt designed to sit at desks 8 hours a day. Itās part of the problem.
Iād disagree in one way though, people are going to extremes of exercise to replace something thatās missing in their lives. Lads and girls living in the gym to get summer bodies and shit like that.
I see some amount of people out running the paths near me and none of the poor fuckers look happy.
