who never seemed like they needed help or someone to talk to,Than they kill themselves???

I was working at the hospital yesterday due to some azzhat stabbing someone multiple times. A security Officer at hospital i talk to, cause im there alot. Jumped off the 14th floor roof an hour after i left. They said he left a note saying he was having problems due to Iraq. He got back a few months ago and never showed any signs. The kid was only 23.

Poor bastid!!!

dang busa

prayers to the friends, coworkers and family

He was a really nice kid.

I'm sure he was, busa

so sorry

Its all part of the job!!!

then thanks for the job you officers do...

Thank you for the kind words.

Suicide is horrible stuff--it is almost unforgivable.

My uncle and my wife's ex. My uncle did it quiet and discreet. Wife's ex chose method so hideous it made the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle and we ended up fielding phone calls from some gaddam animal reporter.

And now that I think about it, another friend I worked and partied with. Got divorced, got distraught, left a mess.

Busa, sorry to hear this about your friend

Dang! sorry, man. Prayers for the family and friends.

unfortunately, this type of story is all to common.

It is a very weird sickness. Works in differents ways for different people.Thank you

yup

so true

If i get this sickness,Im taking the wife out first!!!

((Just kidding,This is just a joke))

That's tough man. Some things can never be unseen.

The problem with depression/anxiety and mental illness in general, is you can't see it. And often times even the sufferer isn't aware. Add on all the social stigma of mental illness and unfortunately suicide is all too common.

Yup,So tru!!!

there is a serious mental illness aspect to suicide. It is hard to blame the suicide for what they leave behind, but also very hard to NOT blame them.

fcku him. Weak piece of ****. I've had a few suicides touch my life and can't forgive the people that did it. Most selfish act imaginable and there is not a GADDAM thing anyone could say that would make me feel any different. What about the poor **** that had to scrape his miserable ass off the street? THAT guy..I feel bad for.

BTW....I'm genuinely sorry if my post offends someone. This is a touchy subject with me.

suicide affects those left to deal with it in different ways...

Sorry for that, busa. I know we tend to get de-sensitized to it, and death in general.... but it's always a little sad when it's someone you know or have dealt with before.

Ever have someone do it right in front of your face? I have.... not a fun sight, but at least it took him out instantly and I didn't have to watch him writhe and scream.

Saying that, I don't understand suicide at all. I can't imagine it..... I'd think once the cold steel of the gun hit the roof of my mouth, I'd snap out of it. There's nothing THAT bad in life that you can't get over it. Heck, we all have problems..... we can get over them, there's no need to take the coward's way out. I don't know how much of it is a mental disorder.... suicide is an intentional act, so the person has to be aware that what they are doing (or are going to do) is going to have finite consequences.... death.... which is their ultimate goal. They know what they're doing.

Jade, you said it best.... I agree with you 100%.

A couple I worked with lost a teenage daughter to suicide. Took her life with dad's service weapon at home one night. Very tight religious family. It's been years and they haven't stopped blaming themselves. Probably never will.
