He is being harrassed and humiliated by that Oz guy which is a blatant discretion of the Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974, not to mention being discriminated against by a boss who spies on him on social media.

If my boss did that I would tell him to F off and walk out. Lee needs to man -up before he loses Whitney.

He's got depression and you clearly have no idea about the illness if you think he can just "man up" and snap out of it.

Please, please tell me this is a joke?

If not, welcome to the 21st century, I suggest you educate yourself on mental health conditions and how that can effect people before you comment further.

If you suffer from depression and your work colleagues are deliberately making it worse, then you will have grounds for constructive dismissal when you leave. Why is Lee being such a puzzie and allowing his colleagues and boss to walk all over him?

I don't know why I am responding to what is clearly a troll thread, however, Lee has not disclosed to his employers that he suffers with depression and to be honest, I don't think he has even connected his illness with his current state together in his mind yet.

Hell yeah, it's time he manned* up!

*M-anage to open up about how he's feeling with a relative who loves him
A-dmit that he needs help
N-ot put unnecessary pressure on himself due to society's ridiculous enforcement of gender roles
N-ever listen to people who say things like 'man up' to a man with depression
E-ducate himself on the help he can receive from his GP.
D-ecide to take small, manageable steps on his road to recovery, one day at a time.

Manning up is the best!

Great post

I sense this thread will end with a padlock..

He is suffering depression. His self esteem is too low. He doesn't want tk risk getting sacked by reporting it which would anger Whitney. Its about time everyone else stopped pressuring him and encourage him to open up.

Wish we had a like button here!

That can't happen while he is telling porkies.

Good Post

Sorry but he has depression

Fantastic X

So good

Brilliant.

As for the OP attitudes like that are why so many working class lads have destroyed their entire lives self medicating with drugs or alcohol trying to be a 'real man'.

It's too late for some - Lee's suicide will educate people like yourself.

I see Lee and his eyes are like a hurt, wounded and bewildered wild animal - DBH is doing the story true justice.

Why get rid of him so we can have endless Philth storylines SOC?

Lee doesn't have the energy to defend himself as his depression has drained him.

Whitney married Lee in sickness and in health so I don't think he'll lose her.

We don't know for sure he's going to commit suicide.

Because depression is deliberating illness that most people hide from people around them because of the stigma that surrounds it, for some it hard to admit when things are falling apart and it doesn't care who you are or how you feeling it will attack you at any moment, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

If it was as easy as manning up everyone would do it.

I think this post shows why this storyline is a good one. Lee has depression. Friends of mine have been told to man up, snap out of it, have a word with yourself. It's not that simple. I'm finding it hard to watch as it's making me think I should have realised those friends of mine needed me a lot sooner than I did step up.

Brilliant post Elly. Did you think of it yourself, or is it some kind of official thing like F.A.S.T for strokes?

Yeah and if it was so simple they would not jump off bridges, hang themselves or take overdoses either.

Life is very tough for some blokes - 'manning up' is hard when you have fallen apart - as you rightly say.

I think it's time he womanned up.

Not sure what that would involve but imagine it might require he tucks his willy between his legs.

Thank you! I thought of it myself in response to Clackers' post, which annoyed me immensely. I'm relieved that people liked it and didn't think I was being offensive.

What he needs to do is leave already! Why do they annouce exits so early then makes us wait forever until it actually happens. I thought his wedding would be the last we see of him.
