That lowlife Joey Barton has done it again. He has shown he has got no compassion or understanding of the human mind. Anyone who has had depression knows its an illness which needs to be treated with care. He normally puts his foot in it in dangerous tackles, but this time has found another way to put his foot in it. His comments are far more selfish than someone with a serious mental illness taking their own life as a result of it.
P.S. I suffered from depression on and off for many years before finding it was the result of a food intolerence/allergy so can speak from experience
Another reason to hate Barton

In Barton's defence he isn't the first or last person to say something like this..

What food was it OP?
--------------------------------------
sweetcorn, which is apparently one of the fastest growing allergies since GM sweetcorn got in the food chain. Evil I tell you, EVIL.

"you obviously haven't felt what it's like to feel like suicide is the only way out"

No. I haven't. Because I have kids. I could NEVER deny them their father.

We dont know the reasons why Speed comitted suicide and I assume that Barton doesnt know either. Barton should be very careful with his comments about Gary Speed's death. In live you should say never say never.

As I said, depression is an illness and if you have not been affected by it you cannot really understand it. Judging others is not the right approach. You should be thankful you've never experienced it. When you have depression it overwhelms everything else and can seem like theres no way out.

I have had depression. Just too many important things in my life other than myself to contemplate suicide.

Gary Speed took his own life in the knowledge that it would have left his children fatherless, and them and his wife utterly devastated. Whatever his motives, however depressed he may have been, committing suicide with this in mind was 100% selfish.
