mushroom 12,875 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Aye suicide is a dark thing, especially when it comes down to depression or feelings, as opposed to illness. My cousin topped himself. Tragedy imo, he was a good man. He left behind a big hole... and we say that makes it selfish? Sometimes you look at yourself and decide to do something, it's for you. Is that selfish or just making a decision? The problem (normally) is the people they leave behind. Those people question "could I have done different and helped been better". The truth is if you dont know you can't help. I applaud that man who gave his life to try and save another. My love to his family. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lad I grew up with took 1/2 an E and it had a massive effect on him. He was sectioned for a few years then weekly jabs from the nurse.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,863 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think,you all are expressing your views with logic....as we all do,...when you see a person gone to the depths of despair,with no idea how to fight back,then their thoughts become totally illogical...to us....but not to them,....their train of thought is manipulated and contorted by despair,.,and they can't find rhyme nor reason to go any further with the situation,and I'm talking from experience,over a 40 year period of a sister who's still institutionalised,never to live a life of freedom or independence,...no one will ever grasp what it's like unless you live it yourself,...even I don't after all this time but I kinda get the reasoning behind it to some extent 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLATTOP 4,387 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 If only you guys new the amount of suicidal people my office gets called out to just on a weekly basis would amaze you, since this COVID lark it’s gone through the roof it’s sad to be honest. Its a shame about the guy trying to save another it’s a decent humans natural instinct to help out but now his family will only have memories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NETS 11 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 If someone wants to do the deed then there's nothing you can do but wait to find the body. you would think they'd do it away from publics eye so ,no one puts themselves in harms way to save them as its in human nature to try and save another. R.I.P to both especially the man who tried to save him thoughts with his family left behind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RIP both them lads and I tip my hat to the lad trying to save the other . Suicide on the railway happens a lot Max, it’s just the public don’t get to hear about it last couple of weeks there’s been several in our area on the eastern region some times two a day or more then there’s the ones who are suicidal which take up a lot of time and resources, lock downs are destroying people’s mental health the country needs to get back on its feet to give people some hope and purpose in their lives. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
