The Fish 10963 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Pretty brave of the lad to talk openly about his issues. For those pressed for time, he's a Scottish footballer who's been struggling with suicidal and self harming tendencies for years, sounds like he's getting the support, but I'd not be surprised if he slipped again because this help may have come a little too late for him.

David Kelly 1260 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Doesn't really sound like it has anything to do with football. He just has mental problems. Yes getting released as a teenager hit him but so does losing any job for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10963 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Wasn't suggesting there's a correlation, but given they're in the spotlight I expect there'll be more stories like this. Might be useful for people who suffer with mental health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorder I'd question how suicidal he actually is if he's in the paper 3 weeks later telling the world. I'd suggest he uses self harm as a maladaptive coping strategy, he's possibly had a fucked up childhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
