Die, Fluffy Wuffy, Die!
NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY! If this blog is anything it's sit-down comedy. I don't break news stories. I rant, growl, quack on and joke about them. If you can't see where this blog is coming from you're an utter peckerhead.

Boffin: Happiness is viral

Thursday, 1 January 2009 1:04 A GMT+10
Anyone with any sense knows that feelings suck. But worse still, they are contagious.Yep, a Harvard clever clogs called Dr Nicholas Christakis reckons that moods - both good and bad - can be passed on from person to person. He uses a "ripples in

Carrie on depression

Saturday, 27 December 2008 10:44 A GMT+10
When trying to explain the "black dog" people seem to fall into two major camps: There are those who reckon it's all to do with brain chemistry, and those who say it's primarily caused by experiences. I'd say the nature of Carri

Misery multiplied

Sunday, 14 December 2008 1:50 P GMT+10
Interesting article about the multiplier effect, which is a kind of fiscal self fulfilling prophecy. Seems that believing in a looming depression (regardless of the reality) can actually bring one on. I reckon it applies to the medical version,

Blues used ... again

Friday, 12 December 2008 2:26 P GMT+10
Just recently, depression was used as an excuse for rugby player Greg Bird's alleged bad behaviour. Now, a high profile young businesswoman is invoking it as a reason for her cocaine use. Call me cynical but I don't buy it. I think she just b

Greg Bird's depression

Sunday, 19 October 2008 1:27 P GMT+10
Greg Bird's mum reckons he was suffering depression at the time of his alleged attack on his girllfriend. I find this all too common excuse for bad behaviour disturbing.  Lots of people are clinically depressed, yet they don't harm other

Reefer sadness

Monday, 29 September 2008 1:07 P GMT+10
Some academic reckons that dope smoking is linked to psychosis and depression. Can't say for sure if the cannabis is the cause, but. I think there is a link. But it's less to do with biochemistry than ideology ...Remember that big t

Every man and his (black) dog

Keep hearing about depression in the meeja ...Barry Dickins has recently had a big-time bout with it. Here's his description of this struggle. Poor bastard was hospitalised, and had to have ECT. Now that's what I call depression. But sometime

Depression fatigue

Monday, 11 August 2008 2:23 P GMT+10
In comments below, "Just Me"accuses me of "compassion fatigue" (whatever that is) because I thought that Paula Wriedt's depression was a side issue.Glad she or he did because I was gonna post more on this anyway ...I didn'

Paula Wriedt's depression

Saturday, 9 August 2008 9:47 P GMT+10
Paula Wriedt, the Tasmanain MP who tried to top herself recently, has been diagnosed with depression.   Maybe she is actually depressed. (But hey, who isn't? It's called being alive.)And sure, I pity her. She's in an awful

Ruslana Korshunova

Monday, 30 June 2008 10:27 P GMT+10
In an event that is eerily reminiscent of a recent Australian tragedy a beautiful young model has leaped to her death in New York. I'm sure that many will cite depression as a cause for the poor girl's suicide. But that's pretty naff, I r

The real story of Charmaine Dragun?

Monday, 28 April 2008 12:25 P GMT+10
Will definitely try to catch tonight's Australian Story.  It's about Charmaine Dragun, the newsreader who committed suicide not so long ago.  From this description of the show it focuses on the medical aspects of her condition.

The walking cure

Wednesday, 13 February 2008 1:59 P GMT+10
Just read this article on depression.  It extolls the virtues of strolling to improve your mood.As a walking addict, this makes perfect sense to me.  Of course, as the article states, exercise is good for the general functioning of the body

Suicidal thoughts

Saturday, 2 February 2008 1:53 P GMT+10
Interesting results from a global study on suicide.  It seems that having suicidal thoughts is actually quite common.  That makes me feel better.  I often contemplate committing suicide ... on other people. 

Jeff Stewart

Thursday, 10 January 2008 12:19 P GMT+10
Jeff Stewart, the longest serving actor on The Bill has tried to top himself after getting the sack.  While it may seem like a bit of an over-reaction you can understand why he was so devastated.  He'd been playing the role for a quarte

"Depressed" or "miserable"?

Wednesday, 7 November 2007 1:13 P GMT+10
In many news reports of Charmaine Dragun's suicide there is talk of her suffering from depression.  Obviously she -- and the many others who top themselves every year -- was depressed.  But I would say there are better words to des

More on Diamond's pearler

Tuesday, 6 November 2007 11:28 A GMT+10
Curious about the background to Neil Diamond's hit "I Am ... I Said" I found this record of an interview in which he describes the song's genesis:"I was seeing a shrink at the time and for some reason I've never been able t

The Gap a magnet for the miserable

Tuesday, 6 November 2007 9:36 A GMT+10
Suicide is always depressing, but a violent suicide (that is, a "death by cop", or jumping from an extreme height -- as opposed to, say a sleeping pill overdose) is particularly so.The violence of the method indicates an 

Thoughts on the Charmaine Dragun tragedy

Sunday, 4 November 2007 12:52 A GMT+10
The suicide of Charmaine Dragun has to be one of the saddest things I've heard about for ages.  She was obviously a very sensitive young woman who felt very torn about the direction here life was taking.  Having grown up in Perth, she f

Are breasts next for Jeff?

Wednesday, 16 May 2007 1:46 P GMT+10
I'm devastated, readers.  In his craven campaign to kiss up to the squitterati Jeff Kennett has gone the full snog and become that most repellant of fluffy wuffy subspecies: the male feminist.  Referring to media sledging of baby C

Jeff Kennett has become a bleeding heart. How could he?

Tuesday, 15 May 2007 8:15 P GMT+10
In the early nineties I was living in Melbourne and hanging around with lots of comics and actors.  To them Jeff Kennett was the embodiment of evil.  They all hated him with a passion.  He was just so heartless and right-wing.So, Jeff
