I bet 9/10 male suicides are because of a failed relationship with a woman.

Sorry for your loss OP.

Well, mine was 4-5 years ago. The first 3-6 months were hell. I mean, it's still tough some days but overall it's the best scenario possible. Her parents were unbelievablely miserable too(my ex remarried & her parents werent invited!).
But, you get a chance to regain your identity. It's liberating. And if the single scene is tough, go the online route - dont knock it til you try it. Got some great stories/adventures from that..

Sorry to hear, Mud...

Ive had too many friends / acquaintances go that route. Its truly unexplainable. It really sucks to know you couldnt help their weight/burden etc. Just remember the good times. Remind yourself that you NEVER wanna go out like that also..

Suicide seems like such a pathetic and cowards way out of what most of the times are trivial stuff. But depression is a odd disease and can't be just written off. I have gotten depressed for some stupid trivial stuff before and thinking back on it I wondered how I got there. I can't understand how it can get so bad that you end your own life, that's how I know their was really nothing wrong with me. Depression is nothing to be played with.

Very sorry to hear about your friend's passing.

Permanent solution to a temporary problem


This saying has never made sense to me regarding suicide.

So...if a permanent solution is not what one needs, does this mean they need a temporary solution? When I think of temporary solution I think of drugs or alcohol being used to mask the symptoms.

Depression can be a temporary problem but you need a permanent solution to make it that way. Unfortunately, some people choose the wrong permanent solution.
