There's a big black cloud hanging over parts of the UK, and it's not going away. No, not volcanic ash stoopid - depression I'm talking about.

nah when you get down as far as the publicising of her own empowerment books that it really takes the plunge into black hilarity

TBF I bet Janet Street Porter meets a lot of people who have suddenly become depressed.

Maybe you have not had the pleasure of seeing Janet Street-Porter, darragh, in acrion, believe me, she is one of the least amusing people I've ever seen in my life

in acrion? In action, I mean.
To be double fair the Daily Mail is Britain's leading newspaper for endless coverage of imaginary illnesses developed by middle class people with too much time on their hands.

sometimes you have to laugh, that's all. it's obviously a disgusting piece by an awful person, but at the same time it's funy because of the depth of feckless stupidity involved.

The whole notion of stress simply did not exist a few years ago - it's become a by-product of the ' megeneration' that grew up in the Sixties and wanted to try everything, from drink to drugs to sex.
Yeah remember pre-1960 when the suicide rate was zero?
― Are We Hardman or Are We Lapdancer? (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 19 May 2010 13:16 (sixteen years ago)
and people didn't drink or have sex

miraculously, 90 per cent of us, don't get depressed about it, don't take special medication and don't whinge about 'black holes'. That's life in the real world.
Given that the incidence of mental health problems in adults is roughly 10 per cent, this is an absolute stunna of a closing argument.

The truth is, we've got fatter and flabbier. Obesity is a medical condition too many of us are suffering from - but you can't claim time off work because you're fat. You can, however, suddenly find you can't 'cope' - and stress has become, in our work-orientated society, almost a badge of honour.
Admiring sudden break in extended article about "lol u sadsacks" to go "lol u sadsacks FAT, inventing illnesses cz your boss doesn't think FAT = day off amirite" and then snap back to previous tirade
