re: Missing LSU Student remains found - Woods between Nicholson and burbank

I wish I had words for the parents. You didn't do anything wrong. He loved you, I promise.

I have been suicidal two times during my life. Not a specific point in time, but depression spanning months. As others have said, it wasn't necessarily an active thing, more a "I don't care if I am here anymore".

I told family, and they blew it off. That changed our relationship forever. I said I was in pain, and thinking about suicide and they acted like they never heard me speak. I had gone through some physical trauma at the hands of a stranger and they knew this. It was hard seeing your family sweep the skeletons in to the closet.

People who kill themselves think they are doing the world a favor. The fear, self-doubt, sadness and self-loathing is consuming. A lot of times, no one else can see the sickness inside. Which is why you can't blame yourself if you are directly impacted by suicide.

Love others and let yourself be loved. None of us are alone.
