Absolutely gutting news to hear, footy is so secondary to this type of stuff.

Hard to process/express on a footy forum but just wanted to get this out there: am currently doing my psych masters while working in disability care and 100% believe in these results:

In contrast to older data from the 70-80s, current studies indicate that committing to and following through on literally any type of therapy promotes the best outcomes for mental health.

In other words, the act of seeking and committing to therapy is statistically so much more influential than the type of therapy it actually is. The caveat being: it's got to feel right for you.

Seeing a psychologist, seeing a community counsellor, group therapy, couples therapy, hypnotherapy, mates counselling programs, anything. It's not that the data invalidates one type of therapy over another, it's that if it feels right for you, the act of committing to it is going to give you the best results possible.

Sounds counterintuitive as a prospective psychologist but honestly, for men especially I would encourage everyone to open themselves up to whatever type of help they need. If you're hesitating or unsure, the act of just committing to seeking help is the biggest step of all.

If anyone does want anything specific or any ideas for directions please feel free to pm. Love to all you footy nuffies out there.

So true. I’ve had in and off depression for years and last year losing dad and falling out with work and leaving a good job stuck me in a hole. I didn’t wait like I have in the past, sought help and although I only had a few sessions it’s like a weight lifts off you.

They reframe you and get you to go back to basics and do the little things that make you happy in life that you just stop doing because you are stuck in your head.

So bloody sad

 

[Cuzz09]

Poor Selwood family.

I wonder if it's a gene thing? Did he get concussed much? saw him in headbands a bit.

Unfathomable for the family

 

[THE A5]

I came across this old short last night and it got me thinking of the selwood brothers and hiw they’re going. It’s just cruel the news comes out of Adams passing less than 24 hrs later

 

[sharps24]

This one hits hard. RIP.

 

[squashface]

That is so devastating

 

[kingswood71]

Sincere condolences to the family and to your club and its supporters.
As a rival supporter, he was always one player I enjoyed watching play.
Absolutely devastating.
I wish all WC supporters well, look after each other. Some things are bigger than football.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

OMFG

Speechless

 

[Happy Mastenator]

horrible news. Thoughts with the entire Selwood family.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

So hard to take. Feel for his parents, brothers and partners. His twin's loss must have just cut him too deep.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

My wife's gone out for lunch with her friends so it's just me with my boys. Just looking at them and ****ing hell it's hitting me hard. How do the Selwoods even cope from here?

 

[Shifty1]

Brutal. Gutting. I just don't know what else to say.

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

RIP Adam.
This hits really close to home for me as I have suffered from severe depression and anxiety all my life.
Remember, if you feel down and in the dumps just talk to someone. Getting it out makes so much of a difference.
But also if talking doesn't help, seek professional help. There are options out there.

Stay safe and admitting you need help is not a sign of weakness

 

[Makka]

Horrible news. Feel for the family.

 

[BlueJet]

This absolutely sucks, your heart has to go out to the Selwood family.
My condolences to you all too having lost a member of the broader Eagles family.
R.I.P. Adam.

 

[BandF]

Incredibly sad news, I feel devastated for the Selwood family, absolutely tragic

 

[Monocle]

Stunned ..... lost for words .......... but most of all incredibly saddened.

I cant image what his family is going through.

 

[cacik]

Soul crushing news. Bless the selwood family, just the thought of them fronting up in the public eye again is just horrible

 

[DorothyG]

Far out. Horrible news for everyone that knew him, thoughts with them all.

Was one of those poster on the wall guys for me in my formative teenage years. What can you say?
