Does the fact Fury tried to commit suicide indicate mental weakness?

[nubianpiye]

OP, you're trash. Just a disgusting human being. I hope you're never unfortunate enough to suffer from mental illness. All this vileness because you don't like that a man won a boxing match. I sincerely hope that you're a child and just don't know any better. Some of the other comments here are just as bad. You're all fine cheering on rapists and women beaters but have to throw shade at mental illness. What a joke.

I only bothered even making a post in this place in case there are any members here , particularly young fans, that might be struggling. I don't want them reading your rubbish and feeling shame about how they're feeling. I don't want them thinking they're weak because of people like you.

Someone who would take a steroid and bash someone in the head is the lowest of the low little surprise that you agree with that type of behaviour but take issue with someone calling it out.

It's not about Fury, I don't care much for the guy out the ring. It's the attitude here about mental illness. Hopefully karma doesn't bite you. What exactly did you call out? That mentally ill people are weak? That people who attempt suicide are quitters? You're an ignorant fool man. Live with that.

No I didn't state that and no point did I mention mental Illness others did. Not everyone who commits suicide has mental health problems. You and other people made it about mental health, not me I made it about Fury looking for a way out because things got hard.

Dumb post.

Whatever mental health issues Fury may have outside a boxing ring, he is 100% focused inside it.

Leave the rest up to the experts.

[Chrismart]

Am I right in thinking he suffers from, or has suffered from, real mental health issues?

People suffering from those kind of problems are some of the strongest people mentally you could meet. They fight every day, more than some people do in a lifetime.

Suicide does not come from mental weakness. It comes from depression. Depression, we can’t see it, but it is something that physically affects your brain. There are mental illnesses that actually affect your brain physically. Most people still don’t know that, usually men who try to be extra tough. But plenty of studies and brain scans show that some mental illnesses are actually illnesses that can be seen doing their job on the human brain.

I like how people try to say he uses it as an excuse for his drug offenses

How come he mentioned in all the way back in 2012 then?

& in 2014 into 2015 it was clear he was becoming severely depressed.

He did an interview with Kugan on IFL couple of months before the Klitscko bout and he was totally depressed.

Fury also shows clear signs of bi polar disorder which he has been diagnosed with.


So all you drug test failure people need to jog on

It can actually be both. You can have a genuine mental illness and still be using it as a convenient, BS excuse/deflection as and when it suits you. I personally know people who have done this and if you read the news you'll notice most criminals do it. They always have PTSD, depression etc and try to use it as some sort of mitigation.

I have to say though, this is more interesting and of a higher quality than your average troll thread.

Absolutely. But you need to be smart enough to know the difference between illness and weakness to ask a question like that.

Nubianpiye goes into the "forum tools" folder. I expect we'll see a pattern from him

You have to be mentally weak to become suicidal because you have low self-esteem & you're insecure about not being appreciated enough.

And you've to be mentally weak to chicken out of committing suicide.

No two ways about it, the fat boy is mentally weak. The way he gets so emotional & start crying whenever people pick against him is very telling. Don't conflate mental weakness with mental illness.
