Comments Thread For: John Fury: My Son Has Shown, There is a Way Out of Depression

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

"Gypsy" John Fury is firmly in his son Tyson's corner ahead of his return to action against Sefer Seferi at the Manchester Arena on Saturday night yet the 54-year-old former pro believes there is much more at stake than a ring return for the former world heavyweight Champion and widely-acknowledged linear holder.

Keeping fit / training will always release good chemicals into your system that are proven to help depression

Smashing council coke in the back of a caravan not so much

The big man's done good.
Great to see him healthy & back doing was he was born to do

[PunchyPotorff]

A healthy Fury is to everyone's benefit. Good for the sport, keeps the HW division more interesting, and most importantly, he's conquered the demons, sounds like.

[BillyBoxing]

Good to see, an example for everybody.

John Fury the total opposite of his son

I remember watching an interview with John Fury on YT some time ago : the man shared his experience in prison, he came across as a 'Hard-man'. John said he never even took a pill from the state when he was sick, or cried about anything throughout the many years in the joint -- but his son is the biggest B*tch I ever seen in mi life.

I cant remember a weaker champion than Tyson Fury, physically and mostly mentally. What a shame, its like a father getting the most terrible news imaginable, that his son is gay.

Well done to Tyson.

The heavyweight division needs him.

For every pollyanna poster boy who claims they have the cure for depression, there are a thousand people, who, no matter what they do, suffer from it NO MATTER WHAT formula they try.

I say this because I suffer from anxiety/depression, and sure IT HELPS a little if you work your butt off to manage it, but it is a powerful mental disease and no matter how hard you try to fool yourself into thinking positive, or how hard you exercise, or read self-help books, or take Tony Robbins NLP courses - it comes out of left field and plants you on your arse no matter how hard you resist it.

The only thing that can be done is to accept it, manage it, and make room in your life for it, because I have tried every prescription there is, and there's no KOíng this thing. You can make it worse or mitigate it, but you can't cure it.

Anyone who says they do is full of ****. there's a difference between circumstantial depression and neuro-chemical depression. Some people cause their own depression AND can climb their way out, some people have it hard-wired into their neural pathways in the brain.

Addiction is the same. It makes me concerned the number of charlatans and snake oil salespeople around who claim simple positive thinking or meditation or whatever will cure it but it just isn't the truth.

What I don't understand is people's unwillingness to accept hard, unfair, inexplicable, unpleasant reality; instead, they will go on and on denying that the world or life is the way it is, and tell you it's all rainbows and lollipops when it surely isn't.
Peoples propensity for denial and hope is stunning. 'Sheer terror is the basis of optimism' - Oscar Wilde & 'The truth is rarely simple and never pure.'
