Holidays & Suicide
 

Just found out a friend from childhood took his life this week. By all appearances he was a successful business owner and left a family and kids behind...

While life gets tough for everyone sometimes it is hard imagining the mental torment someone must be going through to take such drastic measures. This on top of what his family has to deal with now...

2nd person in 5 years I know who took their lives...:(

Depression can be fatal without professional help

its sad when a person gets so desperate that they think thats the only option left...

very sad michael - suicide is just plain horrible for everyone involved

sorry dude

World is better off without them morans. A spot by the fence of the graveyard serves them right :2 cents:

So sad I'm sorry about your friend

Sorry for you friend. One of my frnds took his life too... I couldn't believe it for a long time...:(:(:(

damn, sorry.

Sorry about your friend. I have had friends take their lives.

The best thing you can do is try to recognize any signs, and direct them to professional help.

My sense of humor helps keep me wanting to keep living, so don't take this the wrong way, it was simply my first reaction to the thread title:

Very sorry to hear about your friend. It is indeed hard to imagine what their minds are going through in those final moments because it's so non instinctual. Something bubbles within them that is usually triggered with a panicked sense of impending doom and they really actually think there's no way out and they world would be better off without them.

The poor family. This may sound twisted, but they will at least have alot of support during the holidays and they will probably be in shock to the point where it won't hit them too hard for a few months. Then the support is gone, it's yesterdays news to outside friends and family, and they are left with a lifetime of mental torture and guilt.

It's "morons". You should try and spell "irony" next.

that's fucked up...

It's a real sad holiday season if you can't afford to get your loved ones any kinds of gifts.

I was looking for some tshirts and I was on this topic also...
