Thank you for sharing that <3 those thoughts are truly what I focus on when my mind goes anywhere remotely down that path. I cannot do that to my boyfriend’s daughter, who is my little BFF... mother, my nieces & nephews, even casual friends. I’m going to find someone to talk to about this. I have an appointment with a psychologist in a week.

I had a friend fall from a balcony a few years back. It happened around 3am so we never knew for certain if he fell or jumped.
Off topic, but in Singapore?
We've never been sure if he jumped or fell. In a way, I don't want to.

Glad to hear you're seeking professional help. Suicidal thoughts are extremely common and a professional will be able to help you

There's no way those poor guys aren't totally fricked in the head after coming across a decomposed body unexpectedly.
We had a kid run off into the woods a few years ago and shoot himself.
Only a few of us knew the area well enough to guide law enforcement. He was against a tree.
While I'll never forget it, it wasn't anything life altering.

Very sad, but his suffering, whatever the cause, has ended.

When the black community starts to give a shite about blacks killing off other blacks maybe the rest of the country will join in.

I'm a big time hunter and for me. Hunting is not necessarily killing deer but its the tranquility of being 20 miles from the nearest town (Gloster, MS) out in the middle of nowhere. I don't know if I could hunt off Burbank. I'm sure those hunters come across beer cans, etc. all the time.

I downvoted you because as the friend of someone who committed suicide 11 years ago, I had no idea he was going through so much and had so many demons. He kept it to himself. Lots of times people need to simply talk things out. We (rest of our group of close friends) were completely shocked at it. It came out of the blue.

I want you to know that I live every day of my life thinking about that night. Thinking about "what if I had been more sober, and what if he was dropping hints and I never noticed because I was too fricked up?" I live with regret every day of my life thinking about that guy. What makes me even more upset was that I always thought he was the coolest cutest guy and I never told him how awesome I thought he was. I just always assumed he knew bc I would stay up all night drinking and bullshiteting with him. He never told me anything about thoughts of suicide, depression, nothing. I think about it all the time. What if I had said this? what if I had said that? Please, for the love of your family and friends. If you are having crazy thoughts, please go talk to somebody. Please I beg you. Don't do it. If you do it, you are leaving all of your friends and family with the worst regret and the worst feelings on this earth. And forever is a long time to leave me/us feeling the way I have felt since he committed suicide. Please don't do it. You are literally fricking up your friends and family for the rest of their lives. Please. Please. Don't do it. You are loved more than you know.
Sadly, my wife and I know this feeling all too well.
My FIL, who was an amazing, funny, generous, loving guy took his own life without a trace or hint of the pain he was in. He was a Marine and a Vietnam vet and the speculation is that he suffered from some deeply buried PTSD and finally gave in to his demons.
My wife spoke to him on Father's Day and said he seemed distant and disconnected. I had an urge to call and just check in and bullshite with him. I didn't do it. I regret it everyday.
The next morning, he drove to a park and shot himself. And that was it.
I wish I'd spent more time telling him how much he was loved and how important he was to us all. Now my 6 year old son, who is a chip off his block will never know the incredible man he reminds us of every day. It's a damn shame.

I know there’s a difference between being suicidal with an intent towards action and being ambivilant to life. I get what you’re saying. This year since the accident I’ve felt that way a lot, I don’t think there’s been a point where I would actively end my life, but there’s this wish that I hadn’t made it through, or something. My life is so different now and I was so happy before it’s like it amplifies how much the difference is. I’ve never been a depressed person, I’ve never been a person to let things that happen to me stop me or change me, so by sheer force of habit/will I’ve kept going, and will continue to do so, but being happy is off the table at the moment, for idk how long in the future.
People just say “talk to someone” and I understand the concern, but the idea of where to start is overwhelming in and of itself. When you don’t understand how you feel how are you supposed to explain it to someone who doesn’t even know you?
Idk. It’s a weird situation, but I get you. I think you’re every bit as strong as I am, and I think we’ll probably both keep moving forward, and maybe we eventually will figure it out, or maybe it’ll just be part of you that you learn to deal with. Like the scars I’m left with, they’re a new part and at some point you have to learn to accept that, but it’s harder than people realize.

Where was this young man from originally? I never caught that information as I've just kinda loosely followed the story.

Good for you! Also remember to pray when you feel dark thoughts. The devil is death and God is life. We are all fighting spiritual battles. Pray to Saint Michael the Archangel to fight the devil off when you feel suicidal. Fight fight fight! Don't let him win. You have to pray. God is more powerful than the devil, but you have to call on Him.
Also, steer away from sad music and sad shows. Don't allow yourself to wallow in tori Amos or Fiona Apple etc, both great artists but anyone struggling with depression or thoughts of suicide need to stay away from dark music and dark themed shows. Try listening to K-love. Mercy Me, need to breathe, and plum are all awesome. Need to breathe is so good that they aren't really even considered a "Christian" rock band. They're not cheesy at all.
I know I sound stupid, but surrounding yourself with uplifting music and people really changes your mind and perspective. Music is more powerful than people realize.

You described it perfectly. I have no desire to actively end my life; it’s just different now. So much bad in an extended period of time, and I can’t shake it. I tried going to a counselor a few years ago when it started, and she asked me what I wanted from her. She didn’t mean it bitchily, but I didn’t know how to answer. I don’t know what would make things better. I’m still fighting through & trying, but I don’t remember what it felt like to be genuinely excited about life.
Thank you for sharing <3

But I can't help but wonder, and yeah I'm about to go there, this is a 21 year old white male from a good family. Why is there so much attention on this young man who was fighting demons and committed suicide, but not nearly enough coverage on the shooting death at the hands of another of a 17 or 18 year old black young man?
Because he was an LSU student and this is an LSU message board you synaptically bereft dolt.

Very sad, but his suffering, whatever the cause, has ended.
Now instead of him (one single person) suffering, there are many people suffering, some of those for the rest of their lives.
A terrible irony and terrible tragedy.
