A chilling piece of writing from Ben Tune regarding his battle with depression and attempt to kill himself.

Saw that this morning. He's been very brave to write that I think. And it's really well written, chilling like you say. Was one of my favourite players as a kid and I hope things continue to get better for him. It's a horrible illness and he's obviously lost a lot from it.

Yeh it is brilliantly written. He manages to convey his thoughts and feelings perfectly. Vividly.

I don't often get moved by what I read in internet articles or in the newspapers but I was genuinely a little hollowed reading that. Just a fantastic piece of writing and a great example of bravery for the common good for Tune to decide to talk about it publicly.
