Life Suicide? - Page 13

Brianfo · 12-19-2011, 09:02 PM

Have you ever contemplated suicide? I have, I think about it everyday. I think my kids and wife would be better off without me. My wife is an absolute angel. She did not deserve to be stuck with me. I know that it's the right thing to do. But it's cowardly. I know for a fact that I am going to hell. I love my kids and wife so much, but I have not been a good father.

To me, you don't really know how bad it is until it affects your life which is why I don't joke about it or call someone who is struggling to rub dirt on it. There is little I wouldn't do for someone who was succumbing to their helplessness and despair. But that's why these threads piss me off so much. I mean, you don't know if the person is playing a stupid game or if they're serious (from a moral perspective, you have to assume they are), yet you have no way to contact them or help in any way.

All it does is remind you just how screwed up the world can be sometimes.

FAX

Yep. I wouldn't wish true depression on my enemies.

I tell you Mr. FAX, if it's good for the Soul to talk about it and let the shit get out then if any thing that's what good these threads can bring.

It may save another persons life just reading OP.

Maybe you can get a release that your looking for. It never hurts to talk things out for therapuetic treatment.

I can say nothing is better than talking to others who have the same experiences in life. Professional help is ideal but others who have dealt with this kind of thing are more to understand and can feel the same way.

So, I think I found a phone number on the guy... WTH do you do about it at 2:00 AM?

Beat you to it... w/ a full name, spouse name, address, phone. I sent Fax a pm to see if he wanted to call him tomorrow. Because, yeah, it would be crazy to call his house at 2:00 AM.

Edit: I guess technically "tomorrow" is today. FFS, I need some sleep.

I know I never reached out for help when I attempted it. I don't think most people reach out for help so if he is reaching out then that is a good thing. Just have to hope and pray he doesn't do anything stupid until he logs back on.

The minor inconvenience of a phone call at 2 am compared to saving someone's life seems like a no-brainer to me.

True, but consider the fact that we don't know if he's truly thinking about doing something or not. What if his wife answers? What if he isn't sharing his thoughts of suicide/depression w/ her? How is he to explain an odd 2:00 in the morning phone call?

If she answers oops wrong number/quickly hang up.

If he answers hey man how are you doing?

**Lumpy** · 12-20-2011, 02:16 AM

Well, somebody needs to do it, (and Fax isn't get back w/ me-probably logged off), so who wants to do it? I'm also waiting for Phobia to respond w/ the number he found, so we can make damn sure we're calling the right guy.

I know but I decided to let somebody who is trained handle it. He'll be getting a knock at the door from the Sheriff Dept in a few minutes. I pray to God everybody is okay.

Damn.

Ok, well, that pretty much solves the issue.

Well that was the best option. You did the right thing.

I feel like it was. I'm sure he'll not be too happy about it but we've had stranger things happen on this site before and I'm always going to err on the side of caution.

You never know. He could have his house filled with drugs and you could be sending him to prison for years after the Sheriff finds them. Where he would then hang himself with a shoelace.

I think in buddhist terms you would then be responsible for his death. You buddhist?
