:(

exactly, and just for the point of shock value some asshats will say something shocking to be "edgy" and they think its cool. What the **** is wrong with the world?

I'm sorry, the planet....

I took it hard, some meds and time have eased things, but I still have hard times now and again, and still had to stop and compose myself whule typing out my post.

I feel worst of all for my mother. She has endured the suicides of both of her brothers, and her son. Then my grandmother passed away after a drawn out struggle just 29 days after my brother died. Luckily, my sister survived a botched surgery in April of the same year, after doctors told us she was likely going to die, otherwise 2010 would have been even worse.

Some good thoughts here.

Also, Brianfo can't kill himself because I've never known what the 'fo' part of his name means. If he kills himself I'll never find out and it'll bug me.

I always just figured that it's Brian, fo sho.

If you love your wife and kid, don't do this.
If you want to be a better father and husband, don't do this.
This will only make the situation worse for your wife and kids.
You aren't thinking rignt.
Get some help. I will make a difference.
You might have to do some hard work to get better, but I promise that hard work will be a whole lot easier than what you are planning to put your family through.

Check in. Let us know you are okay.

That's an interesting theory. I either thought it was Brian, Front Office, or maybe Brian, "F*** Off". Not sure what either meant, though.

I feel for you. That is horrific.

There's two ways this goes;

1) you are right, and all the good and bad comments have zero effects on anyone's life, except maybe comedic value. "ha ha, I tricked you into saying nice things about me thinking of killing myself, I'm so cool."

or

2) you are wrong, and all the negative "trying to be shocking, and edgy" comments could actually push someone toward doing something stupid like killing themselves. And the positive comments are pushing them to talking to a professional or talking them out of doing it this time.

If 1 is right, who cares. it's stupid to mess with people's emotions either way, but the best case scenario is a few cheap laughs and the worse case scenario is someone is an ass.

however if 2 is right, then best case scenario is our responses could actually help someone get real help, better than on this board and worst case scenario, someone on the fence about a life altering decision with limited options gets talked into pulling that trigger, or swallowing that pill.

What a Kardashian

The reason why I say this is because a person close to committed suicide, without warning and the only thing that truly revealed their feelings was the note they left. If someone wants to commit suicide they're not going to be talked out of it.

Thanks for the information, Doctor.

As a society, we should banish anyone who commits suicide. No funeral, no remembrances, nothing. feed them to pigs
