I really do need a break from United. I'm going through a tough time and United used to be my out from the real world but now I don't even have that. As horrible as it is to say, I could really do with competitive football being binned off for the season.
Are Utd Making You Depressed?
- Thread starter groovyalbert
- Start date
We have binned it off it seems.
sorry, just look at the funny side of it. Things will get better.
Nah it's still a majorly useful distraction for me. Might not make me giddy with joy at the moment, but I'm still grateful to have it.
It's just anger at how a major club can be ran so badly. From top to bottom.
Yep they sure are
I need a break from United as well
Getting very angry and frustrated watching this Team
Need time off football actually
So tired of this rubbish

Been hearing that for almost 7 years now
just frustrated
I'll still be expecting us to beat Everton
got an emotional blindspot for this side

I didn't want to watch today's match after Arsenal but ended up watching our training session video, pre match conference and then full 90 minutes of garbage football. Will still end up doing that for Everton also. It's frustrating that I can't even ignore United for few games
At least i am doing good enough in this dept. Life's so good these days. Didn't do the mistake of joining the bandwagon after PSG and Leipzig. Glad.
Nope. Completely used to it.
It's like a baby, you just know he is going to shit himself, but it doesn't make you depressed, it's a part of life.

Thank God I'm busy on Saturday and won't get to see the match and have United ruin my weekend.
I was shouting so bad at all my players that my kids woke up from sleep and came downstairs to check up on me. They thought that I was fighting with someone (which I was, the demons of pain which arrived when we let in the second).
This current run of results is an absolute disaster
It frustrates me that I end up constantly questioning everything I think I know about this team.
Yes, with COVID there isn't much to look forward to with exception of our games. I feel pretty okay today because of Biden's lkely win but last weekend was awful. It isn't just the defeats as i have more or less been sanitized to them but more the performance/lack of desire that the team is showing.
Yes.
It's hard times now, especially when we've spent so much money and rivals doing well, We have to keep the faith though.
Without hope we have nothing.
I think it would be 10x worse supporting Bolton.
We're lucky to support the best club in the world.

Depressed, no. Disappointed, yes. Theres more important things in life. Think I'm just used to the up and down now with United. With the Moyes season, felt like it could've been a blip and back to normal when LvG came in. That's when the ups and downs started, excellent for a few games then awful for a few games and that run has pretty much continued up to today (apart from the winning run under Ole)
The officials of this club are doing absolutely everything what's in their power to make supporters feel both confused and depressed at the same time.
Yes. United suckiness for past 7 years has been extremely hard. We do not have results and we don't have exciting players/team. There have been these flashes under Ole, but it's just not enough.
Honestly, I don’t even get that angry or sad any more when we lose. It used to ruin my day. Now, it’s just a blip.
Yup. I yelled at my gf like a cnut the other day after the Arsenal match (I immediately apologised, she was like I get it, your team suck). With everything going on in the world, United isnt good for my mental well being. Thats why I didnt watch the game tonight. Football is supposed to be an escape for 90 mins. Watching United just fills me with dread and anger.
Need a break from them for a bit.

It gets me down for about an hour then i realise there is more to life. But back in the late 80s, I couldn't sleep for days.
It definitely has to do with age. So so glad I lived my "football is more important than anything " days through the Fergie era.

Depressed no, had much worse happen to let sport make me depressed, but they do frustrate me to hell!
It’s the owners who are driving this, pure and simple. Ole needs to go but it will only be a temporary fix
Yeah I'm in the same boat, United is everything like it is to many of us. We need to act fast before any chance of silverware.
I think my evening would have been better with a win. Depressed? Oh no....that's just ridiculous! Think of all the shit going on in this world right now? But peoples problems are peoples problems I guess.
I got into meditation this year, watching United has subsequently been a great resource for getting down and dirty with a whole range of negative emotions without subsequently booting the cat around the house for a week as I may have done in the past
No! OK yes.
I think we all need to man up a bit. It's only a game.
Also imagine how Bury and Macclesfield fans feel to have lost their club. Bolton gone from Championship to Bottom of league 2 in consecutive seasons.
Other clubs have suffered and are suffering more than us.

The part of the world where I belong, we have to stay awake till 3 AM or even later to watch the match and when you see this kind of shit... It is so hard getting up the next day.
I couldn't sleep last night and I kept thinking why we didn't go with diamond and then kept getting angry at Aaron Wan Bissaka and Harry Maguire.
My stress levels are like on Eons and I have to go to work now

I feel like a neutral. Went from being upset to now expecting mediocrity and inconsistency.
The fact hat it won't get much better under this management makes me depressed. With Glazers, yes we will always be limited but with a right football mind things might have been a little better. But with Woodward, no.
Think about this, we didn't pay 15 million EUR extra for Sancho. And today, we just lost potentially 15 million EUR just because the elimination. There is no big picture approach at all.

Wouldn't say depressed. That would be much. There are things in life way more important. But games like yesterday sure alter my mood for a few days. Which is crazy enough as we all should be used to it after a decade of shit.
I find myself caring less and less. Gone are the days where a shit United result would ruin my day or weekend.
I’ve just become used to United being poor, or even if they have a couple of decent results on the trot I know they’ll come crashing down.

You need to get a grip mate. Find some hobbies or give back to others. Stop trying to live vicariously through the achievements (or otherwise) of multimillionaires that don't even know you exist, let alone care whether you live or die.
If your life is really that seriously affected by football, you have a problem. Seek advise or try to find some sense of perspective.
The sheer lack of emotion has me thinking I am falling out of love with football.
I got home around the 26th minute, couldn't be less bothered and dud not watch the rest of the game.
I wouldn't even say I am actively trying to think about other things. I just don't care anymore. I have zero expectations from this club.

Of course not. It pissed me off in the moment but it’s quickly forgotten. If nothing else, I have two young kids and that tends to offer a little perspective. As soon as you have human shit on your elbow without realising, everything else looks manageable.
I think a lot of us would rather take a blue pill right now, rather than red pill (Facing the bitter truth about United).
I was fuming yesterday it was such a foreseeable feckup.. Ole needs to be taken to the cleaners for this.
