People don't understand it because they can't see it.

It doesn't compute with some that just because an arm or a leg isn't missing, or someone isn't wrapped in bandages that they are ill.

I'd say you have to have been involved with people, or suffered yourself to understand it. Majority of people have suffered and how they deal with it is different.

I just pray Sean get's the help and constant support he needs from now on. Its not going to be a quick fix and he can't be wrapped in cotton wool or have his hand held 24/7.

Be strong Sean and now you know the signs of being so low, the journey up again can be a daunting one. Tears and anger at facing some demons you didn't realise were dragging you down are scary at times BUT believe me the light at the end of tunnel is glorious to behold.

Be Strong Sean, you have 3 rays of joy to care for man, focus on them and you will get there .........

That makes very sad reading. Hope he recovers fully. Are more players struggling with depression these days or are we just being made more aware of it?

You don't have to worry about me in the [ilife[/i education stakes young man.
You won't be catching me up anytime soon.
My arithmetic is probably superior to yours also!

This may perhaps explain Longs job hopping over the last 12 months. Something which many on here were condemning him for prior to this news breaking.

Goes to show, that not having all the facts makes for ill advised comments on here sometimes. I hope those who questioned Longs ethics on another thread are equally as quick to retract those comments.

Best of luck to him. Get well soon Sean.

Been there and used the t shirt to polish the car. My family and a sense of humour got me through but it stays with you, and that's where the sense of humour is crucial. FWIW, I thought Wizeb's comment was funny.
