its a bad do that suiside thing ...there used to be a train of thought it was a selfish act , leaving those left behind to pick up the pieces , .im not sure about that , im not sure of the full details but i had a brother inlaw who topped himself in barlinnie prison .bit complicated from what i know he was on a murder charge ,i think he topped himself before someone did it for him .it does seem alot of younger folk take there own lives these days ,and the reasons seem very.easly sorted but for whatever reason fear and panic seem to take over and they see no other option , presures of modern living!! hell i dont know

Reading some of these posts should make us all realise that there are some really genuine good guys on here. They know who they are and I take my hat off to each and every one of them!

Very very sad

Mate of mine done the same thing 16 years ago on Christmas morning still can't get my head round it. Outwardly you wouldn't have though there was anything wrong but the mind is a funny old thing.

I live a good 3 hour drive from him and I keep thinking maybe he wanted to talk but didn't think i'd travel that far. Of course I would have. Would that have prevented it? Or just delayed it for a while?

 

Something we'll never know. I think it's not knowing that's the worst part.

Unfortunately mate it's the ones who really want to go through that rarely give you any idea there thinking about it .

I've know a couple of people who committed auicide and like you say they never said there was anything wrong , sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss, I've had 2 family members commit suicide also a couple mates and countless people I knew or grew up with. My town is rife with it unfortunately. Something must just click inside the mind and they believe there's no other way out. Leaves more hurt and sorrow behind mind you that never goes away. Had a mate try it a few times and it was no call for help he genuinely wanted out. His mother caught him twice and he ended up in a Physiatric ward in the near by hospital. They caught him 3 times in 2 days until he finally got what he wanted, he was beyond any help, mentally his head was tortured. As a child his dad was a mechanic and was working under the car while he was playing with the steering wheel. He let the handbrake off and killed his dad. Always blamed himself even though he was only a toddler, his demons got the better of him.
