Suicide

[Bacchante]

I just found out today that someone I know commited suicide a few days ago. I guess he broke up with his girlfriend, and that sent him into a downward spiral.
I'm at a loss because so many people have 'given up' lately, and I feel this could have been prevented.

If you sense that someone you know is even remotely in distress, please talk to them...or give them a hug or a complement. Sometimes thats all a person really needs to get through something like this.
And take them seriously if they say they are depressed.

RIP Alex

My condolences. No... no one I know is considering suicide that I'm aware of. Distress... I'd say my job causes that, but nothing serious enough to kill myself over. I'm not done yet.

I felt like that a lot during late last year. Suicide was in the back of my mind everyday. Not "I'm gonna do it soon" but I felt pushed into thinking that it may come to that someday. I'm thankful I picked myself up and am working on bettering myself.

My condolences. Just hope that he found peace, that's all you can seem to do in situations like these.

bummer...

the problem with a lot of suicidal people is that they dont let anyone know about it, people who harp on about "im gonna do it" are usually not serious and just want attention.....so a lot of times its hard to tell

I never knew someone who commited suicide, but when I was 15 a very good friend of mine, he lived right next door, died in a car crash on christmas morning. I was really sick those days. He was the guy that got me into metal when I was a kid....

I'm really sorry. I've had many friends talk about it. I even was once suicidal... no one knew, until i attempted it. But it was me who went to the doctor and said i had a problem. I didn't have friends at the time, so i had to get over it somehow myself. But now i'm great. Just out of school, girls galore, and i'm happy.

It just takes time. If you know people who look down, give them a complement, talk to them, whatever. Anything helps, i know.

Yes, i can think of at least one peson (who inhabits the space of three or four people in terms of mass) the world could live without.

So sorry to hear. My ex brother in law hanged himself in March. It shocked the hell out of me. I can't even drive over the lake where he did it at. It's so hard, wondering what was going on in their heads when they did it.

Again, so sorry to hear about that. *hug*

Who else died?

"they" means more than 1.

 

[Anvil]

i think she means people who commit suicide in general.

She needs to improve on her English skills.

This is a serious thread.

Please fuck off with that kind of attitude.

Profanity does not know the definition of implied apparently.
