Robert Enke Dead

[Safe.]

Is there actually a way to cure depression?

RIP Robert Enke

Christ. I just assumed he was seperated from his wife, and the loss of his daughter topped it off. But reading the BBC article; "He leaves behind his wife, Teresa, and an eight-month-old daughter the couple had adopted earlier this year". Story gets sadder and sadder.

So sad, RIP.

What a year this has turned out to be... so many famous faces, gone. Including a friend, a friend's mother and a teacher.

Drugs can 'control' it.

His daughter died when she was only two. Perhaps he never recovered from that.

Confirmed

RIP

Accident? I hope it was, because putting other people's lives at risk by putting a vehicle in front of a train is stupid and selfish.

Very sad indeed, sounds like he had a tough life, RIP.

Terrible news, I feel sorry for his family, friends and team-mates.

If only life were that simple that our demise is all nicely wrapped up in a bow with the will made and your loved ones by your bedside whilst you pass away peacefully. Unfortunately it is not for many people and life's events can rip the heart and soul out of a person so much that the prospect of sitting on a Train track waiting for your death is the only was to end your suffering. I would never presume to call anyone who committed suicide to be selfish without walking in their shoes first.

With something like that happening, personally I would doubt it very, very much.

The drugs they use (in my opinion) sort of put you on 'automatic pilot', trying to balance out the highs and lows to a mean.


The trouble with depression is that anyone that hasn't suffred it doesn't understand it at all (i.e pull yourself together/ you'll get over it/ be strong etc), but the only way to actually understand it is to experience it.

And I truly wouldn't want my worst enemy to experience it.

May the chap RIP.

Exactly. A person that is willing to take their own life is feeling perfectly rational. :thud:

Having bouts of depresssion in my life that where you have the Black Dog on your shoulder logic reason and rationale is something you lose.

Sad, right now I wonder if the Hanover 96 boards are full of people moaning about selfish suicides.

Very sad news. RIP

R.I.P.

That is incredibly sad news

 

[coventrygull]

Unless you have experienced a tragic loss of a loved one. Its difficult to understand how one feels

Well said.

Sad news indeed, especially for those left behind.

This shows my point to a tee.

You've obviously never experienced it, which is great, and the only way for you understand it, is to.

It's an ever decreasing circle.

I'm actually glad that you think a suicide is a rational decision, because it means you have never suffered from depression.
