Eccleston talks about his mental health issues

He has an autobiography coming out, in which he talks about his battles with anorexia, and depression to the point of suicidal thoughts.

Sad. No one should ever have to go through that.

Ok, I can safely say that I was in the wrong for slagging off Eccleston because of how he treated the show and fans. I apologise on my side. Honestly, this may be the reason why he took a long time until he wanted to contribute to Doctor Who again. Depression and anorexia fucking sucks, I hope he's doing better now.

I apologise on my side too. I hope he’s managing more easily now- no one deserves to experience that.

Interesting. The annorexia is unexpected. I always liked Eccleston tbh.

Tragic, that.

Now it makes me wonder if RTD knew and was insensitive af or he didn't pay attention at all
