The last time this happened, I became very concerned. Dialed numbers and everything to try and track the guy down and stuff. Honestly worried.
Then it turned out to be a hoax. I swear, I hate these deals. Does a mod have emergency contact information? Anything? FAX |

I checked earlier. He's posting from a mobile phone. There is no contact information or any other clues in his profile.

By the way, Mr. Phobia, I hate to bother a marvelously talented mod like yourself with something so trivial, but the site is loading really slow and I just clicked on a thread deal and received a message that said the link was bad. EDIT: Sorry ... didn't see that part. FAX |

It appears he's posted before about his battle with alcoholism. Also began a thread about wishing to put some money aside for his children.
Son of a bitch, man. I wish people wouldn't do this. FAX |

Some of you are some mother****ers. Think about doing this act yourself and what sort of state of mind you would have to be in to seriously contemplate it. It's terrible.
Brian - don't do it man. Talk to someone. Anyone. Reach out to a professional in your area who can help you cope. |

I'm highly sensitized to this crap. I've written about it on here before, but one of my best friends in life (best man at my wedding, I was best man at his) killed himself last year. He was a strong-willed guy and smart. Absolutely the last person I would have ever imagined would shoot himself in the heart with a .20 gauge.
I'm still not over it. Probably never will be. I hate this stuff bad. FAX |

People get depressed this time of year. The holidays make you introspective, and sometimes you don't like what you see when you look inside.
Just know that nothing you've done wrong has hurt the people you love as much as that (as you said) cowardly act. Take it as an opportunity to have an awakening. Change what you don't like about yourself... be a better man, husband and father. |

I don't want to be judged for this but I have attempted suicide & not just contimplate it. More than once for that matter. I didn't want to die per say, I just didn't want to live. There is pain that cannot be described in this mental hell when the thought is the only way out of it. I could have really damaged my kids bad and I know this now but sometimes things just don't make since when all you feel is pain and nightmares that don't go away could be something bad memory but sometimes shit just gets real in life and sometimes reallity isn't what it is. That may not make since but you can't understand the pain one is in that is even contiplating suicide. It's easy to judge or say things becouse we live in a macho society. What is easy for one person is not easy for another. I've heard God doesn't give us more than we can handle. I call bull shit on that. I couldn't handle what I went through and it got the best of me and again when I thought I was ok 10 years later it got the best of me again only from a flash back. Things like that just don't go away. I have to be on guard all the time to keep my stinking thinking get in my head. It's ****ing crazy & I have worked hard in my life to get where I am now. I have something to live for but I know I have to do what it takes by doing my best. Sometimes best isn't good enough and have to dig deep to get myself back on track. Your friend probly didn't know what to do to get rid of what ever pain or remorse he was carrying, it was a burden too much for him to handle and that sucks now for you lost a friend. Try not to hold that inside and just be thankful he was your friend. He is at piece now. I don't condone suicide. I believe it's wrong in the worse way. It's just damn hard sometimes, and people act like they are better than God when they act like we are cowards for trying it. What ever. I live my life one day at a time and do my damnest each day. I can't change my past just do what I can today to make a better tommorrow. I didn't want to share this but if there is anybody out there I can help then that's what I can do or for better understanding of what hell is like.

I am all for joking about everything, but to me this is something that shouldn't be jocked about unless we know this guy is kiding. I had a streak of depression for a year and it sucked really bad. I was still pretty young, 14. That was a long time ago, well 12 yrs, and probably is about 0.004% at the level that you need to be suicidal, so I can only imagine how much it must hurt to be at that point. I didn't want to eat and even when I did stuff I just felt like it was fleeting and meaningless. I just can't imagine what it feels like to be 10 levels above that. I got through it and can't imagine ever being back there again, but I certainly feel for those that are there. |

Severe depression is like an emotional cancer. It grows and grows in secret. Slowly over time. In the beginning, you don't even realize that it's there. Until one day it takes over your life.
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 |
