A guy I worked with for 14 years...

It wasn't the guy that we played golf with was it?? RIP, that's horrible. I can't imagine being that miserable.

No. But this guy was an old dirt biker just the same

That sucks man, sorry for your loss but I have no respect for people that take their own lifes. Its hard to respect someone that doesn't respect themselves enough to live. Again sorry for your loss.

Another guy from the company took his own life 6 weeks ago over losing his kids. seems to me kids would be the reason you would overcome. I didn't know him but I still don't understand. Well I am still shocked but my problems seem like they are nothing compared to 99% of dfwstangs problems

I just dont get it! I just hope the guy didnt have kids. Both of the guys that I knew had kids. The one that hung himself had a great wife who loved him & stood by him. They had 3 kids together. 2 sons & daughter. I still do work for his wife from time to time. Really nice lady!

But as Jester said. you think kids would be a reason to want to tough it out. Its just SAD for everyone involved

Alot of people do it because of the question "what's the point?"

When I was diagnosed wrong and put on heavy meds, they made me suicidal and one day I took 2 bottles of heavy duty knock you dead pills. the wife walked in on me right after I took them and she called 911. I don't remember any of it. I remember taking the pills, frantically writing a note, and then i remember waking up in ICU. Once they got me off those fucking meds, I was completely different. Anyway, while I was in a rehab/mental place for a week afterwards, my roommate was a suicide watch as well. he was in his 50's and was also a former Marine. A successful man with no reason to kill himself.....just like me......except he had the same question I did: "what's the point?"
Well, I don't know what the point is, but I do know that keeping yourself busy in projects and forcing yourself to get some damned sunlight and exercise has completely changed me. If you have never been in the place as someone that tries suicide, you have no idea of how lonely and depressed you can actually feel. You try to kill yourself because you actually think the world would be better off without you. I honestly thought it was the least selfish thing I could do for the world.

sorry you lost a friend and im very sorry a human being can ever feel that bad.

No I don't know a Greg. Glad you, made it out of your depression. As far as I know there are no meds but who knows. Sounds like you know what its like to think like that sure is strange.
They both had two kids.

Nobody wants to kill themselves until they don't see the point in continuing on. It's horrible that life gets that way sometimes, but ultimately if an adult chooses not to continue, at least give them the courtesy of respecting that it was a conscious choice. You didnt choose to be here, and you don't owe anyone anything. RIP to the guy, it's unfortunate to hear that he killed himself.

Man I feel terrible for you. That is rough for anyone.

People have a hard time admitting they need help or realizing they need it. You can always talk to a doctor about medication to help get you back on track.

I agree. It dilutes and takes away their suffering to say that you cant respect anyone to make the ultimate decision one can make.

Can it hurt others with their decisions? Sure it can. It's a tragic loss.

My reason to contemplate it was watching walls bleed.

But at the time what saved me? My dog. If you are willing to look hard enough there's reasons not to off yourself. You just have to find it and sometimes, you don't want to look for that reason because it means it's going to be hard.

You honestly think like you are gonna fuck your kids up if you stay around. You feel that your wife will find a better man and a better father for the kids. It is such a low place to be.

[justjoey]

killed himself. Dude was in his mid 50's and had a VERY good attitude. His life has been tuff for the last few years with family health problems and other stuff. So... hug your family or make amends before its too late. Sorry to bring the mood to shit but I think some people can benefit from other peoples REAL problems. Its gonna be a while before I can tolerate a young person bitch about twitter or some shit like that.

Heard about this today. Sucks, he was good peoples.

[Jester]

You knopw what I remember vividly? The calm and peace I felt when I woke up to do it. For months I had been in a low place and contemplating and then I woke up and decided i was done. I got up and all stress was gone. Just did it. quick and easy.

[YALE]

I'm very sorry to hear this, OP. If there's anything I can do, let me know.
