RIP ... the funeral for my 26 year old friend was on Friday.

I signed his checks for 3 years and knew him as well as any.

he died last week. Suicide.

I Kind of pushed him away because he was loosing his mind and going crazy at the office. He left my office 2 months ago.

A few months back he came out that he was gay felt he had to tell everybody details.

Not saying that is why he killed himself.

the funeral was packed and he had tons of friends. He had no idea of the support he had.

When I first heard the news, I thought it was a joke. I was driving to the service expecting everybody to laugh at me for falling for it.

Well no joke.

The main thing I took away from this is suicide is a bullshit solution. This guy could of done anything with tons of time left in his life.

Who cares if he went around bragging about licking a male prostitutes ass in Vegas.

RIP my dead gay friend. :mad::confused::(

Terrible to hear mate.

Yeah, I've known 3 people who have killed themselves... 2 very well.

First person was a girl who I grew up with.. my older sister and her older sister grew up together from kindergarten and all through school, and our families always hung out. When we were little we both always said we'd get married when we grew up.... anyway a few years back she developed a really bad gambling addiction and lost thousands and thousands on slot machines. One night she took about 75 paracetemol tablets, her boyfriend found her not in a good way in bed and took her to the hospital, and she finally admitted what she had done but by that time it was too late. Her liver was ruined. Before she lost consciousness the nurses told her she'd need a transplant and did she want to live? Her answer was a yes, but a donor liver didn't arrive in time and she died the next day.

Worst thing is... I service slot machines for a living... and believe me that guilt is not lost on me.

2nd person was a workmate 2 years ago, no sign he was depressed at all... the day he killed himself (he did it late that night) I had coffee with him during lunch, then spoke to him on the phone later that afternoon, a regular conversation filled with usual jokes, and he ended the call with offering to give me a hand at an installation I was doing the next day.

Next day comes along, he didn't turn up for work, his work partner popped by the guy's dad's carpentry workshop to ask his dad if he knew where he was, his dad wasn't there (he was away on vacation) but instead found him hanging with a empty bottle of Jamesons and 3 suicide notes, 1 for his parents, 1 for his brother and 1 for his girlfriend.

That was a massive shock, it hit me pretty hard. My housemate was his best friend. I never have found out why he did it.

I've been pretty low in the past and even considered suicide, but after losing those people I'd never ever consider it every again no matter how low I get.

Nobody wins at all...

Sorry about your friend. My old boss just hung himself before Christmas. He was having financial issues, had to get a restraining order against his wife about a month before because she became violent in her drug addiction. He had custody of their two children. Last person on earth that I could imagine doing that. Just 4 years ago when I worked for him he was the most happy-go-lucky guy, not a care in the world.Guess he just hid his emotions well. I too have thought of suicide here and there. I think its natural to cross your mind at some point in your life. Life is hard. I know id never actually do it. I look at it like a job I guess, I put in 31 years here so far no way I'm quitting now lol
