Did he say "North Stand Shat?"

I know I can get fruitcakey but this is really weird.

Just watched the full 15 minutes, and I feel actually rather sad. Assuming his time spent away from here was either an arrest or involuntary hospitalisation, I take absolutely no joy in another human being suffering from a mental health crisis, whether it’s a best friend or a stranger on the Internet.

The problem is, as I’ve found with a real life friend, that I really struggle to have quite as much sympathy for those suffering from drug induced schizophrenia and/or mania.

I am aware, as this guy has said himself in the past, that he takes drugs and drinks in order to numb his depression from being unemployed and lonely. But trying to make a mentally ill addict see how destructive this is, is next to impossible.

A good friend of mine from Stringer - one of the few school friends I kept in touch with after relocating - was a perfectly happy and healthy individual before getting involved with daily drug use. They ended up homeless, despite coming from a loving home, and shouting at traffic in the street, thinking MI5 had put worms under his skin in his sleep, and so on. For a brief time he got sober at Mill View and these delusions disappeared, then went straight back to drugs and ended up dead.

I have included below some helpline numbers for mental health support in Sweden:


Be strong, get a shower and some fresh air every day, see your GP and hopefully put together a mental health plan. Schizophrenia diagnoses are only made by psychiatrists as a rule, so being correctly medicated can be a journey.

You may not like the side effects at first or how they change you. But if you persevere you’ll realise they haven’t changed you, they’ve given you clarity and insight into the person you really are.

It’s a long road to recovery, but you’re a smart guy underneath the delusions and haze of confusion. You can do this 👊

A few people will mistake this for kindness. It isn't.

Since it was firmly established that we have complete opposite perspectives on life and society, you've been throwing the "mentally ill drug addict" around any chance you get.

Personally I'm utterly convinced that your mind is more ill than mine.

I wish you well in your recovery and hope you were able to parse at least some of my words of support during this difficult time.

Assuming his time spent away from here was either an arrest or involuntary hospitalisation,

I think that is presumptuous and very possibly incorrect.

Also very inappropriate to post a long diatribe about someone’s MH state based on an unqualified online “diagnosis”. Not even fully qualified psychologists/psychiatrists will do that.

Without going into personal details about another NSCer, that were subsequently deleted by himself, I know HS said a month ago that he has/had a close member of his family critically/terminally ill in hospital and it was going to be a very difficult time. Sending good wishes HS. Sorry to hear it’s been so rough.

As for the football commentary, I found it a very balanced and sound analysis once you get beyond the deceptively casual and off-hand style.

To reiterate some of HS’s comments - Weiffer’s “assist” was partly the responsibility of a player under pressure and still struggling to ‘prove himself’ in the side, poor intelligence in defence, and a failure of our whole team strategy when we were 2:0 up in the 88th minute. Against Liverpool, we should have subbed earlier, the squad is relying on some key young, newly signed players to the EPL who might struggle to play 90 mins - I agree with HS, ‘development is a process through which we should be pissed off/ angry yes but not be overly depressed when the inevitable mistakes are made on that journey. I also agree that aiming for finishing tenth is probably more realistic than 6 or 7 this season. With a young, inexperienced in the EPL manager, young and relatively EPL inexperienced players, Europe qualifier this season may be punching above our level and if we get there, it will be an incredible achievement.

In short, I thought the piece, weirdly presented as it was, was balanced and HS gives sound advice for those who base their sole feel-good factor of life all on the results of a football match.

It certainly comes across as the opposite as you preach some out of context story about drug addiction, homelessness and alcoholism to someone clearly suffering from depression through principally, bereavement. Are you sure that you watched the video?

I think you should put HS on ignore and refrain from commenting on his posts because it’s actually showing you in a very unfavourable light. Just forget about him rather than jumping on his every post.

Indeed.

What I've been doing for the last 40ish days is to visit my critically ill parent at the hospital in Malmö and two terminally ill grandparents at the hospitals of Lund and Helsingborg. I've been to hospitals for 35 or 36 days since then, travelling all around Skåne to visit my (sometimes previously neglected) relatives.

I would sacrifice my right arm if I could trade all of it for a "drug induced schizophrenia" or whatever the jcdenton wanker was on about.

Luckily getting better now though with my dad beating the odds and his third cancer. Lost all his teeth and is a shell of a man but he'll hang on for another round, so thats good.

Happy that the Albion has been a ray of light during this time. Both the results and the lovely gifts I received when I needed a positive, unusual break in the misery monotony. Some really nice stuff:

Woooah, that's quite a lot you've said there!
What on earth in his videos or any of his posts make you think he's going to have a drug induced psychosis?
You may think your mate was perfectly happy but people who have problems are often very good at hiding things. Yes prescribed anti depressants can change you but don't be under any illusions that it's always for the better. Going on them can make depression worse & make someone more suicidal, it's now listed in the little leaflet you get in the tablets, that coming off them causes depression. They used to call it 'discontinuation symptoms' they now have to list it as 'withdrawal symptoms' In other words, they've had to acknowledge that anti-depressants are addictive. There was even a BBC Panorama program about it!
Mill View might have been able to get him 'sober' as you put it, but they probably did that by giving him drugs that numbed all his feelings. Can you see where I'm going with this? You've obviously had a traumatic experience seeing what happened to your friend but you can't generalise like you just have. Even I'm having trouble trying to work out whether your intentions of the helpline number were good, or sarcastic. 🤷‍♀️

You have friends (you have never met and probably never will) here.

And my cat says 'hi'.

There's no f**king way I'm watching that one of you in the bath, the no trousers in the first one was quite concerning! I'm pleased you went to see your dad & I hope that stuff improves for you soon. You are a proper Marmite person on here, I just take people as I find them & obviously didn't read the thread where you were banned. I think you are as mad as the March Hatter, but I mean that in a nice way.
I would say to put your phone into landscape mode but I haven't watched the bath one & have no idea how dangerous that could've been. I'm impressed by your pronunciation of our swear words! :lolol:
Edit.... sort the beard out! It looks at the moment that if you were to dye it white you could get a Santa gig. Actually maybe not! ;)

Haha, thank you for kind words and advice!

Beard management isn't my strong side! Sometimes I start to engage in clever trimming or shaping or whatever but I've always struggled to give a shit what I look like and struggle to engage in beauty and grooming... but when I do these videos it certainly happens that I think "hmm interesting, my face look like a 1970s dilapidated c*nt, maybe I should sort it out". :lol:

Buy an electric beard trimmer, set the length to 3mm or 6mm and use it once or twice a week. Very easy and quick. You may still look like a c**t but you will have a neat beard.

The words 'anti-depressant' fills me with terror. Especially given that research throws a lot of doubt at them in the first place. A doctor recommended I start a course and for four days I was in such a state as to contemplate suicide. I came off and improved straight away. I would rather stay limited by anxiety and some despondency about life, but feeling safe and snug in my limited world, than ever go near those things again. I'm not saying that drugs don't have a role to play at times, but they are not, and never will be, as great as natural therapy.

Honest opinion, you're a good looking bloke. I'd lose the beard. Or go five o'clock shadow.
