"Poor lorry driver selfish carlisle Ralph Little agrees with you" Whilst I can see this point from the fact that he involved an innocent person in his attempt to take his life in cannot accept that he was selfish. When you are in a place where you want to take your own life you are not in a place where you are thinking Rationally. | |||

"Poor lorry driver selfish carlisle Ralph Little agrees with you" Really? I'd suggest he reads up on the degrees of depression and the symptoms before he opens his gob!! Rational thought and severe depression don't exactly go hand in hand!! | |||

"Poor lorry driver selfish carlisle Ralph Little agrees with you Really? I'd suggest he reads up on the degrees of depression and the symptoms before he opens his gob!! Rational thought and severe depression don't exactly go hand in hand!!" Ralph Little expanded on his twitlonger account 'First and foremost, and I should know this by now, twitter is not the place for this sort of thing, as it takes more than 140 characters to talk about anything seriously. So already I wish I hadn’t said anything, not because I regret the comment, but because the choice of forum was wrong and frankly understandable if people are riled up. Next thing is, I don’t suddenly want to air a list of grievances that sound sensationalist and do some tabloid’s job for them. Clarke and I have history, that involves money, lies, on one notable occasion me being interrogated by the police over something I knew nothing about… and all sorts of other stuff. Now, when it comes to mental illness, I understand it, I’ve lived around it, I’ve supported it, I fight against the stigmatization of it and so on. I think it’s a very real issue with a long road to go to combat it. So that said, on to this case… It’s extremely difficult to watch someone repeatedly ruin other people’s lives, then explain it in such a way that makes them immune to criticism. And it keeps happening. It’s now reached a point where, as this proves, it’s like emotional touch paper. And sure, I’m not a professional expert on mental health, and no doubt, neither are you. But I know more about this particular case than you do just because you read about it in the Sun, or saw a documentary. There comes a point where it’s just frustrating to witness someone constantly hammering the pattern of destruction for those around – and I was once one of those around - only to see the destructive force make a moving and sincere apology… then do it again. (On reflection, that’s the nature of addiction/illness, and I know that all too well, but as I say, a rash tweet and it’s not the place for it. ) I should also say that during the course of this twitter… whatever it is, Clarke has been in touch with a retrospective apology over things that went on a long time ago, and I think that has to be respected by all, myself included. Anyway... You have to be in a dark place to attempt suicide, and only a fool would suggest otherwise. However, I do find myself thinking that when you’ve been driving d*unk five (is it?) times, risking lives of countless other people, and even in your darkest hour still manage to involve a lorry driver who could have died himself, and now has to live with that trauma and memory every day fro the REST of his life… Personally my stores of empathy start to dry up after a while. Am I really that out of order for suggesting that’s not on? Do we repeatedly overlook reckless destruction of other lives beacause someone apologizes, again and again, and says it’s an illness? Isn't there a point where we can go, "enough is enough"? I hate drink driving, I really do. I know victims of it, who have died, been paralysed, or lost loved ones, and I’ve watched this man get caught doing it several times then publicly forgiven, lauded, and handed a bloody good career! I’m sorry but that annoys me! And I think that’s my overriding feeling. I don’t feel sad for Clarke any more, I was drained of that some time ago. Instead I feel sad, and maybe a little angry, for Gemma, and the kids, and the lorry driver, and the people who dived out of the way of the car all those years ago, and all the other people who have been fucked over and over and over… you know who you are. Of course I wish Clarke a strong recovery – and not just from the crash. It would be a better world if he and all other sufferers of such an insidious disease could find a way to fight the good fight. But when he does end up facing the drink driving charges, this time around, I hope, not least out of respect for the hundreds of drink driving victims who tweet me every year, they throw the book at him. I don’t think that makes me a cunt, or gobshite, or a wanker, or any other delightful name some of you came up with, but hey it’s a free country. Though, as a final thought, I would say again, I’m a fool for forgetting that twitter is not, and never will be, the place for a comment like that. It’s too reductive and simplistic, and yes, without context, I can see it would seem insensitive and crass. Not my intention. I’m going to bed.' | |||

Some suicide attempts are quite bizarre though "first time I attempted suicide I was 10 years old. I put my head down the toilet and flushed the chain. I thought I'd drown. Yes some suicide attempts are bizarre and some terrible cases where people set fire to themselves, unless your in that position at that given time you do not know what that person feels. | |||

I've read through it a few times and it comes across as anger towards a guy who displays the many symptoms of mental illness. " Yes, but I think he was sympathetic for a long time. Little compares it to addiction. The thing with addictions of all types is the effect it has on others, be that gambling, drugs, alcohol or whatever. You can recognise that the condition is not their fault, but they must be aware of the effect on others. There is help out there, so anyone seeking help is worthy of sympathy, but those avoiding help and putting the addiction first eventually loses that support. Stephen Fry, for example, in his suicide attempts was not recklessly endangering others and now manages his condition with medication. Reading between the lines, Carlisle does not. | |||

" Don't get me wrong I can understand that people sometimes cannot cope with the effects and therefore need to step away but that's the illness not the sufferer. Stephen Fry got to the point of suicide before he got proper help, It was his wake up call. Time will tell with Carlisle and I don't believe he's a lost cause. | |||
