Joseph Barksdale really needs help.

Dude has been posting suicidal stuff on his fb page all day. His most recent post was to ask if anyone would shoot him in the head for 10k. I really hope someone from LSU would reach out and try to help him. He seems to be in a very dark place in his life right now.

He have CTE?

Praying for him. He mentioned in an interview with Mascona he had struggled with depression several years ago.

Man, just looked at his account. That is really sad. He needs interventional help immediately.

Yeah someone needs to get in touch with him asap. I just saw that on twitter since I am not on facebook.

Really sad. He seems to be crying out for help.

Been watching that abc show “a million little things” lately. Most of the show is about dealing with depression. Also, lost my little brother to suicide a few years ago.
Reading this makes me feel for him. Definitely warning signs.

He’s been struggling with depression for years, even before coming to LSU. I remember an interview with him a couple years ago of him talking about it and how he used playing the guitar and music in general to escape. Guess he’s going through another rough time with it right now.

I didn’t realize he was now a musician here in Austin.

I hate to see a former Tiger hurting like this. I know we have people who post here who have means & access within the program and university to step up and put Joe in contact with the help that he needs. We’re pulling for you Joe

Yes overload him with love from Tigerland

It’s tough to read those tweets, but I can see what he means. You want someone who actually understands what you’re dealing with to reach out. Otherwise, it just feels disingenuous.

Does he have any family nearby ? Get this man some help right now. This is serious stuff. Don't give up man.

Same. Also, there’s significantly more pro golfers out there than football players, so the odds are better as well

Depression is no joke. He had an article in ESPN awhile ago discussing his battle with it, really hope he makes it through. Can't imagine what he goes through on a daily basis.

Depression is a battle. I just hope there is no psychosis or delusions attached to his depression. Please, someone needs to call social intervention right away and make sure Joseph is not left alone.
