Kate Middleton’s Brother Reveals Secret Battle With Depression

Kate Middleton’s Brother Reveals Secret Battle With DepressionJames Middleton, Kate Middleton’s younger brother, recently made his Instagram public–and his feed is filled with amazing posts! There are photos of him and his dogs, luxurious vacations, and wild adventures. But while he may appear to be living a privileged lifestyle, James Middleton has been hiding a devastating secret in private.

Last week, the 31-year-old penned an article for the Daily Mail revealing his battle with depression and mental health issues. In James’ emotional essay, he described his condition as a “cancer of the mind.” He admitted to feeling like a complete failure, worthless, and “going crazy.”

“Each night sleep eluded me. A cacophony of imaginary noises rang in my head. It felt as if ten different radio stations were competing for airtime and the din was ceaseless and wearying,” James wrote.

According to James, his bouts of depression started in 2016. But it would take him at least a year before trying to seek professional help. By the end of 2017, Kate’s brother packed his belongings into a car and drove to a remote part of UK’s Lake District without telling anyone. The solitary retreat was the start of this realization that he needed to change things.

Apart from depression, James has also been diagnosed with Attention Deficiency Disorder (ADD) and he has been suffering from dyslexia since he was a child. He attributes these mental health disorders as to why he had difficulty with his studies as a student, and later on, his failed business attempts.

Currently, James Middleton says he is dedicated to speaking out about mental health awareness. He and his pet dog are now volunteering for Pets As Therapy charity.

While James admitted that he isolated himself from his family during his days of torment, he credits his current recovery to his sister Kate. The Duchess of Cambridge, along with Prince William and Prince Harry, is an active advocate of mental health charities.

“I feel compelled to talk about it openly because this is precisely what my brother-in-law Prince William, my sister Catherine and Prince Harry are advocating through their mental health charity…They are my motivation for doing so.” James explained.

    Boy, you’ve got to give these people credit for drumming up sympathy for their failures.
    Just because he ran 2 Businesses into the ground and has been unemployment for most of his adult life, he now finds that having depression, with ADHD and let’s toss in Dyslexia to erase all the business and financial shortcomings.
    Funny, most depressed people seek solitude, not globe trotting.

    Great PR for Kate’s Charity.
    First Harry is mentally imbalanced ( excuse for who he marri)
    Now we have the “secret battle ” with James Middleton.

      Hi, Pennie! I suspect he’s just spoiled. Hope you’re having a good weekend!

      Kate and Willard often yammering about “mental health”. Meanwhile they’re both satanists, she’s an exhibitionist and climber only interested in prestige. She was “lucky” no one else wanted to marry Petulant Willard.

      🙂
      Waity’s family, nothing but mental cases.
      Good thing she thinks she knows about mental help. She’s also a nut.

      LOL, it’s 2019 and youre STILL yammering about the royals?

  2. SIGI007 says

    So how’s Feral Scarole these days ? Did the RF tell her to make herself scarce ? I’ve noticed Willard’s vacations with the flasher aren’t publicized anymore [are they ?}. Clamping down on anything that could add more disgust and disapproval than already exists ? LOL.

      Hey! Sigi…. Glad you’re back. I was really missing your great posts ( I see the Editor gave you a really fantastic “review ” for your comment about one of the Journalists articles)

      Waity claims she’s been targeted by ISIS, therefore committing to a lower profile. Jeezus! Anything to get out of WORKING! Golly, how is poor Waity going to cut a ribbon, when ISIS is monitoring her every move???
      They need not bother scouting out a VICTORIA SECRET Shop, because we all know Waity doesn’t own or buy Underpants…

      Glad to see you!!

    2. SIGI007 says

      🙂
      Thank you !
      I got a review ?! Do you know which article that was on ?
      Wow.
      Waity’s losing her mind, eh ? I missed that news. So “ISIS” is the latest excuse for the lazy thing ? I wonder when the split with Baldy will happen, I think she ought to worry more about that. Her astrology isn’t so good.
      ha ha hah ha ! No Victoria’s Secret for her !

      Hey! Sigi…. I was trying to find the exact article and send you the review.
      You wrote something about the “Journalists ” being immature and having her head up her @$$..
      Then someone replied that many you shouldn’t read this…. Blah, blah…

      Then the Editor said that you are absolutely correct and “That’s our Sigi, she keeps us on our toes”…

      I should have copied it right then and there. You know how things magically disappear from these sites!
      Keep up the good work!!!

    4. SIGI007 says

      Ha ha ha ! That’s cool. Thanks for the info !
      🙂

    5. PENNIE P says

      Sigi… Did you find the article?
      I was looking all over every site, some are gone..
      I could not, for the life of me, remember when article it was on.. But, I did remember the conversation ( sort of), hoping you would know where to look!
      I guess THAT put our little Troll in it’s place!
      I smiled when I read it….

    6. SIGI007 says

      Hi ! no, didn’t find it but could have kept looking. Last time I was here, a few hours back, I tried. I’ll look again later,
      🙂
      I’d like to find it. I did notice comments in some of the older artles are missing. Wish they’d stop that.
      Yes the trolls….! ugh !
