Agree with everything being said about depression. I have struggled with it for the past decade and in my discussions with people I have come across people who I can instantly bond with as we speak about it, but there are some very ignorant people out there also - just as I was once. Not many people understand how low you are feeling to be walking alone down a dark street and be secretly hoping somebody would come along and blow your brains out just to end it because you do not have the guts to do it yourself. I thought Collymore's comments on it yesterday summed it up brilliantly. Most people have felt down but when the downward spiral becomes a hopeless alley of despair and you cannot visualize coming out alive at the other end, you know you are in the darkest realms of this terrible mindset.
I have often said that "when I get all the things I want in life maybe i will not suffer" but hearing what may have happened to Speed concerns me that he had everything. Either he had some horrendous news in the hours before his death or his death was an accident as I suggested earlier... it's a terrible state of affairs.
Just another line that people may not be going down, although it seems he died by hanging, that does not rule out Erotic asphyxiation - so perhaps it was an accident anyway.
Just heard this terrible news, like others it has really upset me, I always thought he was an honest footballer and he was doing so well with Wales. What a tragedy. Suicide, if indeed it is this, is a terrible killer.
RIP Gary Speed
