Kompownd User ID: 49012418 United States 12/02/2015 12:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry for your loss OP. I have been there, lost a really good friend a couple years ago. Never in a million years would have guessed he would suicide. 6'4 in shape attractive firefighter with 2 kids. He was a really great person, but marriage problems pushed him over the edge it seems. I still cannot believe he took his life. He was not the time that anyone ever would even have thought to look for signs of suicide. He never seemed depressed really. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21452112 I never thought he would go this far. Last time he called me told me was happy. I guess he lied just to stop him from doing this. I called my friend right before he did it too. He said everything was cool. I sensed something was up with him. I tried to get him to go out and do something fun a bunch of times but he never would. He suffered from migraine headaches, and had over 400k in student loans from dental school. He started working as a dentist and could barely pay for an apartment. But I still would never imagine him taking his own life. And I still to this day have some doubts. |

I just wish he told me he was sucidal. I would been there help him get through it. Unfortunately, men mostly do not tell others of their plan to do this. I've known 5 people who have done this over my lifetime and they've all been men and none of them said a word about it beforehand. Only one had sought counseling, and that was for depression, not the suicide. Men (and women), please reach out! There is always someone who will miss you. If you can't find peace, you can always follow through later (not encouraging this, by any mean). Depression can cast a very dark shadow that seems insurmountable, and I understand that. But please try to turn over every stone to find your way back.

Fuck the bank and their unwillingness to work something out with him. Looks like the bankers claim another life. Damn.... so many things he could have done. Could have tried BK, could have rented it out for income, could have gotten roommate, could have stalled for a year or two in court, could have counter-sued Fdcpa, and so on. There are all kinds of things you can do besides "get out". But now we will never know.... |

The pain and confusion leaves us numb when this happens. Stay strong, OP..... sending you lots of love, so you can pass it on to your friend's family.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 67546291 United States 12/02/2015 01:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't want this to seem like it has anything to do with what you are experiencing: it doesn't. It is just my related experience. I'm not trying to imply anything. But I have had friends kill themselves too. What I noticed is that nobody gave a shit about these people while they were living and suddenly everybody is the best friend or good friend who is completely crushed and/or angry that this person took their life. Is this to get sympathy out of others for a loss or do they genuinely feel sad about it? Maybe it is partly guilt that they were not there for that person. What nerve of some people though to act upset or even angry at the person for taking their life when you have no idea what they were going through because you weren't there and didn't care? But most these people probably knew the person at one point but hadn't spoken to them enough to even know who the hell they were anymore. Yes, I can't claim to know what others are feeling when somebody took their life or how they felt about them while they were living but I'm talking about people who made it obvious how they felt in the past. I'd never take my life but I do have a lot of these "friends" around and I'm sure it'd be the same story if I did. I'd be looking down on them cursing them for acting so upset. It really takes away from the people in their close circle who were seriously affected by the death as to make a joke out of it or something. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 20633709 United States 12/02/2015 02:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The hurt, the unending pain and probable guilt will try to get you, at first. It's been 5 years on Nov 29th that I lost a loved one to suicide. It makes no sense at all, but we are all human, we are all flawed. Took me a year or two or still, but WE must go on, remember your friend, always, but do go on.. so sorry and let it all out. peace and love. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70944758 United States 12/02/2015 02:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm sorry for your loss op. I tried seriously only six months ago to get rid of myself. Even though I have children, loving family etc none of this even came into my thinking space when `I dropped into the zone. I can only speak from my own experience, it was completely black and all I could see was the doorway out of here, I was calm, sober and felt relaxed. No one could of said or done anything to stop me. Sadly there is no help, the only help has to come from within, and that's where the problems are in the first place! |

I just wish he told me he was sucidal. I would been there help him get through it. America is an evil place now that destroys honest, good people and rewards liars and cheaters. That's what it is now. Nothing you can do, individually, can change that. I thought quite a bit about suicide over the past three years, and I don't expect this country to ever be a good place again. It's just how things go. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 70388230 Canada 12/02/2015 07:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He had no children but think losing his house did it. He told me was getting evicted n I even told him can stay at my place but guess was to much. Quoting: Truth seeker! I'm sorry for your loss. :( The same was the case with my aunt's daughter. She had financial difficulties, and that was really what caused her to say enough. She had a young daughter at the time, and it's hard to imagine that money issues were that overpowering, but for some people, I guess they see no way out. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 60097151 United States 12/02/2015 07:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sometimes the freedom loving souls cannot bear the yoke of opression. I don't know how many times I felt cornered by society and laws enforced by those lacking common sense. Scenarios setup for the common man to fail. Basic freedoms are getting stripped and you can see the pressure building in your neighbors eyes. The thing that will drive a freedom lover mad is knowing it DOES NOT have to be like this. But the feeling of helplessness sucks them under. I am sorry for your loss. This is no way your fault OP. The only thing that spurs me on is the saying, let go...let god. |
