I had 3 co-workers commit suicide. They were getting help. They seemed normal at work and then they go home and commit suicide. All 3 had survivors guilt and or having their friends die with their blood all over themselves.

I did some research on the why. In this case above its the easiest to explain. Trauma from war. But the other explanations are all over the place. Basically, their minds are not thinking like ours. Thats why its hard for us to understand. They feel an overwhelming pressure for different reasons. None would cause us to commit suicide. The best "reason" I've seen is that there is some kind of chemical imbalance in their brains.
