? I would start to think that is a pattern. Could drugs or gambling be involved?

Oh no. I’m so sorry.

Please vent ... and talk to a counselor or professional. That’s just too much for one person to bear. We are living in unprecedented times.

Man, sorry for your friends. Just remember, it is an illness caused by a chemical imbalance...there is no making sense of that...

I’d recommend talking to a counselor/therapist. That’s a difficult situation to deal with and process without some outside help.

Damn. I'm sorry, man.

I echo BluegrassBelle. Seeing a therapist would be a good call. That is seriously heavy stuff.

Listen... there’s a time and a place to seek professional help. And I think this is one of those times.

Seek out a competent professional therapist to talk to for a little while. You need to get through this time, and it would be best to have some help through it. Just do it.

Jesus. Did they know each other? I wonder if the compound stress from the other suicides caused one maybe?

It’s hard to process. My first cousin who I’ve been really close to since moving to BR in 2011 commited suicide 2 weeks ago and I think about him everyday.

Like others have said, I think it would be healthy to see a therapist. There’s no shame in doing so in this situation. You need to air it out.

Happened to me with two of my good friends within a year time frame. I would agree with the others to talk to someone. I wish I had at the time because it definitely messed me up for a year or two.

My prayers are with you!

3 in a month goes way beyond a coincidence. What was going on with them?
