Toast Vale Adam Selwood

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.

Adam Selwood's death prompts former Eagle to open up on mental health

A former West Coast Eagles player whose life hit "the tipping point" when he was delisted from the club adds his voice to calls for the AFL to establish a mental health round in the wake of Adam Selwood's death.

I've banged on about Ainsworth's dedication to getting his body in great condition. Article says the poor bastard has battled with anorexia through his life and he ended up in hospital after his delisting. Highlights how little we really know about these fellas and their stories.

Would explain why he never really bulked up.

i alway thought he looked very skinny after his first few seasons and too slim for a afl footballer. That said you gotta wonder how our S&C didn’t see that he had an issue

I remember sneaking my nephew out of early primary school to take him to training at subiaco oval, Sellers had already retired but was still helping/working, he was walking in with a bag of balls to head down the race we were the last 2 spectators there he come over signed my nephews jumper, then proceeded to talk to him for 20 minutes about being a professional footballer, my nephew must have been about 8 at the time

Shame the Broncos suck. That looks awesome!

 

[BartBart]

Good to see his mental health charity has got a big boost with $60k reached. Sad he isn't here to see it.

Hopefully it helps a lot of people who are struggling.

was there, not that I keep up with him or anything, I assumed he was still in jail.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Any fans show up to the memorial. They put it on the website but I think it said it was for friends and family.

 

[BartBart]

Someone put in over $2k into his run charity to bump it past $80k.

Good to see him wearing normal sunglasses.
