Big Fifer Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Fucking brutal. Just goes to show fame and adoration doesn't always equal happiness. I don't think we're even close to fully understanding mental health.Rest in peace big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Just a shite situation all round I'm afraid. His suffering is over but the family and friends are just getting on a rollercoaster of guilt, regret and what if? He was probably dead before the police were called. Despite being at your absolute lowest many people who do end their own life experience a phase of calm and almost a strange happiness about the decision they've made. They have likely suffered for a number of years and this is the way out and it can be a relief. We aren't even touching the sides when it comes to understanding menta ill health.

Mr. Brightside Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 This hit me really hard this morning despite thinking the worst from when he went missing. I don’t really know what to add that hasn’t already been said, but just talk to someone, it does make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Far, far easier said than done (take that from first hand experience). Absolutely without doubt it’s not easy to do but if there is anyone struggling and you could do with someone to talk to, I’m happy to receive a pm. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to help but I’ll definitely listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 At my lowest the police lifted me from the wall of Troon harbour and I was kept in Ailsa Hospital in Ayr for a time, this was a number of years ago, Once slept on Aberdeen beach with vodka and pills, was missing for 36 hours when went to my GP and didn't work for months. When the black dog arrives it is the hardest thing in the world to control, and some days it still comes back even though there is much in my life that is right It is the hardest thing to do yourself and the easiest advice to give but talk to each other or anyone. Horrible news day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Another tragedy. We've definitely fucked it up somewhere as a society when suicide is the highest cause of death for men aged between 20-49 in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowden0 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 So so sad. Thoughts are with his family and friends. Scott's pain is over. He is at peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleMoo Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Utterly horrendous news but feared the worse as soon as he went missing.Depression is an utter c**t of an illness. Currently signed of work for 2 months and going through the breakup of an 18 year marriage all due pretty much to depression and anxiety.Reading some of Scott's quotes online today regarding his mental health I can really relate to how he must have been feeling. Only comfort to be had is that he is no longer in pain. Unfortunately the same can't be said for his friends and family. Very, very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Heartbreaking. I am so sorry for his friends and family right now. Hopefully the small comfort may be the outpouring of love which came his way yesterday.What a legacy of music he has left behind and how sad that this will not be expanded upon.One of my favourites of his, a cover but he made it his (I think somebody on here posted this on another thread once and tipped me off to it - thanks to whoever that was!).

Horrible to think he wrote that over 10 years ago and it's almost an exact prediction for how he killed himself. Not often I get upset about someone I've never met dying but this one is gutting. Seen them at 02 academy about 6 weeks ago and it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen, can't believe its turned out to be one of their last.

His writing was so personal, that you could not help but feel like you know him. I've never really felt like that for any other songwriter. Supremely talented.

JohanForeskins Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Today’s society hates men and treats us with utter contempt but when one of us finds things tough and unbearable and he feels he has no other choice than to take his own life then society acts all shocked and surprised as to why it happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holiday Song Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I wonder if we need to push on from the “It’s okay to not be okay” philosophy which, whilst true, doesn’t make people better. Particularly folk like Scott. Anyway RIP to the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
