Is it possible the performance of the football/soccer team I have supported for over 40 years is causing my depression?
My team is Sheffield Wednesday they are one of the oldest football teams in the world being founded in 1867.
More recently mismanaged by a initially ambitious Thai businessman that quickly faded as the club lost money at a colossal rate.
Leading eventually to the club going bust and it being put into administration, after the initial relief he had gone uncertainty set in.
One takeover failed now we are in limbo again.
On field it has had a devastating effect most first team players cancelled their contracts and walked away, leaving the younger unproven players. Results are dire only one win all season.
I've sat and absorbed all of this and I feel like I have slid into a depressive state.. is this even possible?
