Popular Post -AJ- Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 Awesome for Motte to share his story about depression. I love the Hockey Talks movement and I'm so proud that Vancouver is where it all started in memory of Ryp. In the hockey culture most of all, it must be so hard to come out to people about that sort of thing, so it's great that we have this movement and it's great to hear guys like Motte share their stories. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -DLC- Posted January 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2020 It's becoming "ok" for people not only to dig into issues that may be affecting them, but to share their stories so others can relate as well. No longer are these things family secrets, taboo or swept under the rug out of shame or fear. Anxiety and depression are so common....especially in the world we live in today where there is so much fuel to really propel those things. Isolation too...now that mental health issues are accepted as everyday life, people don't have to be alone with them. I have learned a lot about generalized anxiety and "what ifs" that can be slid over into "what if nots" as a pretty handy tool. Cognitive therapy along with some mindfulness training can really help identify how to combat this beast when it rears its ugly head. So many incidents/trauma created it and I rarely sleep more than about 2 hours at a time...very lightly and never a full night of good sound sleep. Brain doesn't like to shut down (ever) and, at night, it escalates. But understanding how the mind works is really key to re-programming it. Relaxation techniques, exercise, etc. all really can help. I feel much more "at ease" just knowing I can control it to some degree (how I react when I start sliding into that ridge) and don't have to feel powerless. I loved this segment. Good on Tyler for doing it...because it'll likely help some people who will feel a connection to what he's saying and maybe take the first steps. Like him even more now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just get concerned when drug therapy is the first choice by the medical community. I’m glad there are lots of ways to combat this problem before drugs are used. I forget the first happy pill, but it was way out of control in the 50’s and 60’s. It was an epidemic. Way over used. Maybe being open and talking about things, like Motte, is helping too? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe being open and talking about things, like Motte, is helping too? Oh I am 100% in agreement....I am very anti drug treatment. I understand there are chemical imbalances that sometimes call for drug therapy, however, not the average Joe as a "go to" as they walk through the door with anxiety or depression. Try other routes first. A high school tried to force anti-depressants on my daughter. Insisted she go on them for circumstances that I knew were situational and would eventually pass. However...a drug addiction could be forever. I pulled her out of that school so fast... I worked in the alcohol & drug field for nearly 10 years so I'm one of those who won't even take a Tylenol....just so easy to go down a path of dependency (I have a brother who's got 12 years clean). Sometimes drugs are necessary to maintain stability...but that should be very carefully determined by experts. With you, Alf. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Motte is an awesome person both on and off the ice. That takes a lot of courage to say that you need help, and to reach out. I hope it helps others in a similar situation. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Motte is awesome. Living with depression can be absolutely debilitating and make you feel powerless. Much like Motte, I’ve been able to find ways to lessen the blow, shortening the span of time spent surviving the darkness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he would have slew footed him him or exploded through his head it would have been dirty. This just seemed a typically board play that unfortunately injured Motte. Honestly I was suprised karlsson out muscled him since mottes are pretty strong guy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
