Just a month ago my best friend killed himself. We were like brothers and very close. He had gotten married 2 months prior. I was a groomsman in his wedding and he was supposed to be the best man in my upcoming wedding.
When I heard I was in complete shock, honestly I still am. I still struggle with it daily but I have to keep moving on for my own family. I feel absolutely terrible for his mother and wife. They will be scarred for the rest of their lives.
I know some of the details that led him to this, but never saw him making such a drastic move. He reached out to me and we talked about things, but I showed him tough love and told him to man up. I now question if I was too harsh. Had I just listened to him and talked more in depth with him about what he was struggling with, maybe I could have helped and he'd still be here.
I'll never now, but I sure as hell wonder and think about it every day. I miss him. Miss the crazy text and conversations, the laughs, the good times.

You said / did what any of us would have.

Nothing new.
I'm willing to admit that I never considered anything other than suicide is a selfish act and this thread made me think a bit more on the other possibilities. With that said, there is no doubt in my mind that not all people who commit suicide are mentally ill.

Was not your fault. Cookie just crumbles that way sometimes and there are things you can't help or change.
You had no way in hell knowing what was going on inside of his brain.

My pawpaw just committed suicide Sunday morning. I understand why he did it (because of his illness) but for my Mawmaw, my dad, my uncle, and my aunt to go through this is rough o n them. I can't imagine how much pain he was in to do this but I'm going to miss him.

You can't control the thoughts once they start eating away at you. You think there's no hope. You feel alone in a room full of family members. It's an absolute awful feeling, I never in a million years thought I'd ever have suicidal thoughts. That being said, I couldn't do it, I couldn't imagine my mom getting a call saying her son killed himself.

there is no doubt in my mind that not all people who commit suicide are mentally ill.
It manifest its self in so many different ways that some of the most brilliant minds have studied the brain and has only figured out the tip of the iceberg.
The best thing to do is to try not to look into it too deep and don't try to ostracize mental illness. Don't even pity the ones that suffer one of the many illnesses. But realize that it isn't black and white or necessarily "selfish" when you don't know what an individual is struggling with.

Sorry to hear that. Don't question yourself. It won't help anything
I beat myself up for a long time because my business employs lots of landmen. I marketed his resume to several of our brokers. I kept thinking if I'd have tried harder and found him a job then he wouldn't have given up
But that is so flawed. And for one thing it puts you in too important a position. Kinda like you're God. Like you could've saved their life. It's weird

Good for you, Shawn. And I hope you think more and gain a little peace towards your friend. That's the only reason I shared my story. I prefer to share less heartfelt things with the OT
SS, if anyone knows you're a good guy

So sorry to hear [Byrdybyrd05]
That's an Internet hug. It's crazy how many people are affected by suicide
