If she were genuinely depressed, I doubt very much she would have had the drive to go for an interview for another newspaper (the Telegraph I believe) and accept a new job.
Her behavior does not equate with someone who is suffering from anything other than the ordinary troubles of life that most of us just try to get on with.
Feeling the pressure of deadlines and so on is not that unusual, and "gynecological problems" could mean anything (bear in mind she has managed to have children) it is typical of a woman like her to make out as if she is unique or special in her "suffering".
Liz Jones not only took all the attention away from her with her very public announcement of her mental issues (Pierson would have hated that), but Allison clearly saw how much sympathy Liz received from her idiot followers that she couldn't resist going public too...about very little of any interest to the rest of us.
Ask yourself why -if she saw no problem in been so open about it- did it take her this long to mention it? It is too much of a coincidence I feel.
There is a lot to be said for dealing with things in a dignified manner, something she and Liz Jones know nothing about.
This is why I feel suspicious as well.Pugwash wrote:I have known people with clinical depression and they couldn't function properly. They couldn't just 'pull themselves together' and they weren't just a 'bit down' . Of course I don't know Pearson's mental state and I am not a psychiatrist but on reading that article I don't come to the conclusion that she had a clinical depression.
"My story is no different from any other Sandwich Woman. For a time, my mum was seriously ill, I ran into gynaecological problems, I fell badly behind with a novel I was writing, and I felt so bad I was letting people down that I didn’t have the self-confidence to finish it. "
She was struggling with life, illness and a career and it no doubt had an effect on her health to some degree. But depression? I don't think so.
'sandwich women' may be able to identify with her but people with genuine depression, no.
