Its been a rough week for me.
On thursday morning I was told that a good friend and workmate of mine had hung himself the night before.
It was and still is a massive shock. I'm sort of like a deer in headlights right now, completely stunned. I met up with him on wednesday and had a coffee and a smoke and a chat with him for about an hour. We shared a couple of phone calls later that afternoon. He was all smiles and jokes as usual. Nobody knew that he was depressed at all. I wouldn't have picked it in a million years.
Apparently he had an argument with his GF or parents or something, got drunk then went missing. Another workmate who was also one of his best friends was driving to work the next morning and saw his car parked out the front of his dad's workshop. He stopped to see what was going on, realised something was wrong and broke in and found him.
It fucking sucks, because he was the most awesome friendly easy going guy you would ever meet. And one of our best workers, too. My housemate and him grew up together since they were 6 yrs old and had been best friends all their lives. He is shattered. I'm relatively fine, but I can't stop thinking about his poor GF and family, and the guy who found him.
I don't even know why I created this thread in the first place, just venting i guess.
Fucking shit happens :(
