I am beginning to wonder if this is the whole interwebs-forum-taking-things-to-an-extreme thing, that inevitably happens - especially when there isnt frequent new information.
We know he had a rough time, we know he had depression/was depressed.
That happens to literally everyone. Every single person in this thread will have had hard times, periods of depression or low mood, and many will have received treatment for it. Many will not, but will have come out the other side all the same.
Im reading this thread and really wondering if any of you are even talking about Rose now, what actually happened (which none of us know) - because youre going on like he is a suicidal wreck and arguing from that perspective.
From what I can see the guy had a rough year, needed help, got it, and is now in a place where he is comfortable to talk about it - as well as go to a World Cup and perform.
Doesnt really gel with the narrative here.
Im also of the opinion he is a moody sod who has always carried a chip on his shoulder, has always been that way, and this shouldnt be confused with depressive episodes.
