If you want to talk about Ben Cousins, post it here (mega merged thread)

[swantastic]

Just another bull @@@@ claim by Benny to divert attention from the fact that he is a druggie.Is it just me or do all of a sudden heaps of people seem to suffer from depression,or is it another stupid misconception bandied about by stupid shrinks to earn them selves a few extra $.

[AnnieH]

Is he serious? Don't kiddies grow out of ADD by the time they're in their late teens (at the latest)?

I've got ADHADDAD. No one's handing me Ritolin to help deal with it!!

...and all this time he's mistakenly taken ice instead of his ritalin. This bloke can't catch a break.

No. I tried Ritolin once (one of my friends gave me one of her kid's tablets) ... it had the opposite effect on me. It was like taking speed ... I never slept for a week!!
That's some bad stuff.

I take it that you have never been struck down with depression. If so, I hope you never do. It's not a matter of feeling sad or blue ,we all go through this, depression is a mind numbing sadness that can strike without any logical reasoning.

The reason it's more prevalent these days is that we recognise it now as a real illness. Sufferers no longer need to suffer in silence as they have done in the past, especially men.

I have been treated for depression so I do know what I am talking about.

Anyone got any wool?

Oh Ruda ... I was exaggerating. It did cause me sleeping problems. For two or three nights it was very difficult to get asleep and then stay alseep for longer than 2 hours at a time.
I don't know how a mother can give this @@@@ to her kid.
Maybe they should just stop feeding them sugar.

Stacks Cruiser. They're trying to pull it over my eyes as we speak.

Perhaps he's working on a personal endorsement from the manufacturers of ADD medication?

I can just see it now... Hey kids... Have you tried Ritalin??" "Brownlow medalist and premiership player Ben Cousins wouldn't be half the player he is now if it wasn't for Ritalin... "



Or is that just being too mean?

I wouldn't be surprised if he snorted Ritalin to get the same high he would from cocaine.

[Robbo]

LOL this whole thing is just out of hand.

It's extremely sad to be making a mockery of all this, but unfortunately, drug addicts come up with all sorts of excuses for their behaviour. His actions have proven that he cannot be trusted or taken seriously. When witnesses are exposed as drug addicts in court, their testimony is virtually dismissed as liars or ridiculed as untrustworthy.
