The manic behavior which we have all seen too many times, now the depressive side, are pretty clear signs. This is very treatable. Maybe he's lucky he's "come out" with it and now they can get on with treatment.
Clonamery said:Bipolar is something that you could safely speculate about based on his behaviour over the years AND if the current 'attempt' is true.
PatsWickedPissah said:We we do know is that he needs help. Let's hope that the Cowboys org is professional in ensuring he gets the competent and extensive help he obviously needs.
Keegs said:I'll never understand how someone living that life, playing that game, and making that money can be depressed.
godef said:Well, some insight into the man he is. Clinically depressive and driven to draw attention to himself in order to combat this depression, knowingly or not. Now he's finally hit the breaking point, perhaps he can get some help now that he will no longer be able to deny he may have such a problem.
PatsWickedPissah said:Maybe it's ambiguous reporting but I'm geting vibes it's being tossed off as an "allergic reaction." Bad move if so.
Bella*chick said:I think so too. I am having a very difficult time imagining the Dallas press conference saying "Yeah, he tried to kill himself." They will say it was an allergic reaction and that he was unable to respond properly to questions when the police asked if he had tried to harm himself.
Tuesday, Owens was involved in launching a national campaign for the National Alliance to End Abuse, an organization aimed at helping at-risk youngsters. He appeared at a high school Tuesday morning and was scheduled to visit others but had to cancel because of changes in the team's practice schedule.
If you read the report here :T-ShirtDynasty said:The way I read it was that it was an EMPTY bottle that previously contained 40 pills.. before the incident he had only taken 5, which means he tried to OD on 35 pills. Am I misreading that?
BelichickFan said:You could be right, I don't know. But we all have people who need our thoughts and prayers more than some overpaid crybaby like Owens. I hope he finds what he's looking for but I'm not going to waste and of my time worry about him or praying for him.
Well I'm not the most sympathetic person around, I'll agree with that. He is a loser, though. All that talent and look at him.Mike the Brit said:I find it sad that you won't waste any of your time sympathising with Terrell Owens but that you have enough of it to post on an internet forum calling him an "overpaid crybaby" and a "loser".

You appear to be correct. It says that he says he had only taken 5 but last night took the rest. Loser.
