Suicide sucks. Just words of advice, if someone ever says to you they intend on committing suicide, take them seriously. Even if they are someone who is a big time jokester
In high school I had a friend of mine who came to school one day and he was acting down the entire day. I talked to him and he said he was going to commit suicide that weekend. I didn't take him serious at all. My response "Man shut tf up, quit acting like a bitch all the time, that's why she broke up with you".
Only to find out he legitimately did try to kill himself that weekend. He pulled the trigger at his forehead, only for the gun to shoot a blank. Luckily, his dad walked in at that very moment and tackled him.
I have never felt more shitty in my life after hearing about that. It took me a while after he returned to school before I could even have the nerve to talk to him once he returned to school. He states it wasn't my fault, and that his mind was already made up by that time. But tbh I still feel guilty and I thank God he was not successful.

Good friend of mine took his own life last weekend. We saw each other a few weeks before and we texted the week before. All positive. He left behind two kids and a wife. The funeral absolutely sucked. Tragic loss for so many. F suicide man

Today's the anniversary of my sisters suicide. Still isn't easy on this day 7 years later. I think about her often and through therapy have found ways to cope, but the day of still sucks.
I know this isn't always a popular opinion, and I miss her more than ever and it does hurt. But if she was in so much pain every day for so long, I take comfort in knowing she is no longer hurting.
Luckily I lived across the country and didn't find her but have stayed really close with her boyfriend who heard the shot and found her and made a friend in his new wife. I contemplated messaging him but don't want to being up old wounds if hopefully he isn't thinking about it today.

Absolutely awful. A waste.
To anyone thinking about it...look, I’ve been there.
Single dad, wife left, lost a career, lost a brother...all in 6 months. You think the darkness didn’t creep in? It had been riding me like a jockey for a while. Nights I just wanted to take a nosedive from a tower and at least leave some money to those I left behind. Because the that’s all I thought I was.
My kids are what saved me and chase away the darkness still.
Even on the darkest days when all seems lost, and the shadows cloud my mind and whisper lies, “I love you daddy, please don’t leave me.” Echoes again and again.
Because the darkness that feeds into depression is a lie. There are those who will feel
Their soul ripped away at your absence whether you think it or not.
If you’ve ever listened to a parent’s wail upon losing a child, you might understand. If you’ve seen a grown man bawl upon his brother’s tombstone, you might get it. No matter who you are, your parting brings sorrow.
The dark days come, sure as sunset, and endless nights will follow.
But no Matter how dark it gets...dawn will break the darkness. Whatever heartache and heartbreak and hollowness you feel will fade, and you’ll find laughter creeping in eventually.
It isn’t ever over until it’s over, and you have to fight against the dark and twisties that will cloud your thinking.
Life is long. And when love seems lost you’ll find it. When it all seems meaningless you’ll find meaning.
You just can’t give in. The songs are all written about those who hold on against the odds, who survive and fight another day.
So to all who might read this and know the looming doom of that great gobbling darkness...
Soldier on. It’s been worse and it will be better, you can bet on it.
