RIP blue

Depression eats away at you and it's hard to come to terms with it so how can you see others making sense of it

More needs to be done

So so sad to read. I know from experience how lonely and overpowering it can feel. Recognise his face from city games but never had the pleasure.

Sincerest of condolences to you blue, all his family and friends. And let's hope he's found peace.

RIP Jamie

A good friend to many. Jamie Philp sadly took his only life last week after a long battle with depression.
North stand season ticket holder at Maine Road, South stand at the Etihad. One of a kind, brutally honest with a wicked sense of humour. If you crossed paths with jamie or sat near him you will not forget him.
A gentle giant with a heart to match. You will be missed by so many. I hope you finally found peace.
If anybody is struggling or you see someone struggling seek the help and shout loud. RIP Jamie. xx

Depression can be an unseen illness with terrible consequences. Heartfelt condolences to his family

Great Tribute you gave him there Mottram

RIP Jamie.

Depression is an illness that often slips under the radar as on the surface people can seem fine.
So sorry to hear about Jamie, condolences to his friends and family.

I've suffered from it in the past, it's easy to hide. Just by putting on a positive higher pitched tone to your voice can make you seem more spritely than you're really feeling. It's very difficult to talk about what might be going on beneath the surface and often feels easier to just pretend everything's okay when it really isn't, even though that's probably exactly what you shouldn't do.

How very sad.Having suffered with depression myself over a fair number of years,I can only agree with the OP,that if you need help then please shout for it.
I know its easy to say that,but far more difficult in admitting it is oh so true.
RIP big man and my sincere condolences to his family,friends and all Blues who knew him.

Even when you know that you have people who will gladly listen and willingly help you, it's still easier to bottle things up. Even the thought of actually opening up to close ones can be harrowing, never mind doing it.

It's a very difficult one isn't it?

Yeah mate I know ....suffer from depression myself and try not to let my family etc know just how down I get sometimes.
Doctors just want you out of the surgery asap and that's not the way it should be.
Apparently men tend to hide depression as we see it as a sign of weakness....attitudes need to change so people seek help earlier.
