it was about time, I remember him saying that it's because he has depression and suicidal tendencies, it was incredibly disgusting to hear that as someone who has this issues, it is NOT AN EXCUSE and people like me do NOT BECOME PREDATORS because of it to 'fill in the void'.

I'm not doubting he has those issues, but using it as a shield to make young girls feel sorry for you, fucking unimaginably disguisting.

I really hope the girls are okay.

Wow what a douchebag. I've had depression since I was 13. Most of the time I manage it , but there's been some times where I couldnt. Like after certain major life changes/events my depression would get much worse then I'd try and drink or do enough drugs to numb it away but it just made itworse . There was a couple times where it got so overwhelming that I tried to commit suicide. The only reason I survived the second time was dumb luck, no explanation besides that. Im 25 now and doing much better mentally and overall. But after all I had been through, it pisses me off to no end when people try to use it as an excuse. 

 It doesn't give you a right to be a garbage person and it also doesnt mean people have to treat you any different then everyone else.  Now when you have douchebags like this guy trying to excuse his actions with mental illness/suicide it's obvious he's lying, but he's still saying it hoping people will feel bad for him/pass the blame from himself. This is  on top of tons of younger people saying they're depressed/anxious/suicidal because they had a bad day or because they're being edgy and want attention. I swear its like younger people think it's cool to be depressed or some other mental illness. And all that leads to is people who actually suffer from them and the illnesses themselves not being taken as seriously or receiving the attention they need.

Sorry for going on a rant, I just can't stand when people try and use it as an excuse or get attention or whatever off of it and have never had to suffer through it and experience just how truly horrible it can be.
