Just Don't Do It/Getting back on track....
Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2006 2:28 am
Hey all,
I've been away from the board for about a week now because of some very bumming events.....
This past Monday morning my Brother-in-law comitted suicide.
35 yrs. old, divorced for about 2 years, father of two (ages 11 & 13), and recently unemployed....he withdrew his IRA from the bank, came home (living with his mom again since the divorce), wrote a couple notes to loved ones, and stuck a .25 caliber between his ribs and pulled the trigger.
His mom came home for lunch at 12:30 and found him in his bedroom.
This is still a huge mystery to us all (and probably will remain so).
He was the kind of guy that if your car broke down, he would come out and tow you home, and then pull out the tool box & get under the hood (meanwhile not asking for anything in return).
Layed back, easy going, and would talk your head off for hours at a time without being bothersome (while actually saying very little in the process). I guess I need to take him off of our cell phone plan now.....
....but then you couldn't get him to talk at all about what was going on inside himself, ever....... (bottled everything up, I'm sure in hindsight)....
I know at least once just about everybody has had the thought of suicide run through their mind........if you do and it lasts for more than a nanosecond......GET HELP FAST!!!!!!
I know many commit suicide thinking everybody would be better off if they weren't around.......this could not be further from the truth (which I thought was rather common knowledge throughout the human race, but apparently not)........
So please.....if you're thinking about it.......GET HELP!!!!!
If not for yourself, for your kids, your parents, your spouse, Aunt Doris, Uncle Elmo, etc......
Believe me, they won't be better off, just much much more depressed, alone, and sad that true darkness & dispair beyond mortal discernment embraced you with such apparent ferver that ending your own life was the only way you saw out (and no way out for us left behind, we just have to go on and try to deal with and understand your ignorant shit)!!!!!
