Bollocks to SVC. He is making a career of being a professional Villa fan, when in reality he stiffed us royally without even a kiss my arse. Churchill won the war with crippling depression, SVC couldn't even put shift in on £40,000 odd a week.

I, like many posters in this thread, have suffered from crippling depressions in the past and yeah, in moments of utter desolation have tried to end it all. Thankfully for me, there were things I'm more capable of doing than topping myself. But like any other illness, there's no rhyme or reason to it. There was one particular incident I recall where I was sitting watching an England game trying to eat something, and I realised that I'd been crying for most of the game without knowing why I was doing it.My ex was on tablets for years and i found, not that I'm defending ignorance about it, that after a certain point I got annoyed because she never seemed to get better. In certain respects it may have contributed to the break-up. But until you know how it actually feels yourself you can have no concept of how hard it is to try and make it back to the light. I can see why the attitude exists but I hope the doubters never find out how it feels because I had a taste of it, and I much prefer being healthy and alive rather than the other options.Fair play to Collymore: he may have made mistakes, but publicising a battle with depression isn't one of them.

In the last two weeks my business has failed, leaving me massively in debt, my partner has been rushed to hospital with a potentially life threatening condition and my ex has revealed that she's moving to the other side of the country and taking our son with her. I'm about to lose my vehicle and my flat, and in all likelihood be declared bankrupt very soon. As someone who has suffered with chronic depression for many years (have been through Prozac, Amitryptyline, Citalopram, am on Mirtazapine again at the moment) and has experienced many times when I wasn't fully in control, I have every empathy for SVC in his struggle against the Black Dog... But wouldn't argue with anyone's right to call him a cock. Even people who don't suffer with depression can be cocks, or so I understand...

Why would you give a fuck how much of a 'fan' he is? This thread is about a horrible, horrible illness. Some people on here have bared their souls a bit so show some respect for that. Post your vitriol somewhere else eh?
