suicide

[Blue Til Death]

A friend of mine recently committed suicide, he was the last person on earth I would have expected to do that, he was still traumatised from the Falklands conflict which shocked me too as he never dispalyed anything that would have supported that at all. His suicide note confirmed this though..

Would have been my mate big As birthday yesterday. He hung himself 2 years ago. Was planning wedding when he got made redundant. Girlfriend nagging him bout getting another job, paying for wedding,buying house, his mum had just died guess he couldn't take any more.

My sisters boyfriend killed himself in the car by putting hose on exhaust pipe. It was my sister who found him and took her a long time to get over it.

We've had one in the Family. Her suicide note indicated she thought we'd all be better off without her being around which is just not true. Her Funeral was the most unpleasant experience I've ever had to endure and that includes my Dad's Funeral too. Nobody knew what to say and we still don't understand the full circumstances that led to her taking an overdose in a Bed & Breakfast in a remote area of the Country. We don't even know why she was there. It's destroyed her Dad, her ex-Partner and the people she grew up with.

I don't really want to type this but I would have to admit I've had suicidal thoughts before and they've been very strong on one occasion when everything seemed to go wrong at the same time. Thankfully I weathered the storm and came back fighting. I've no idea what triggered such thoughts and I hope above anything that they never come back.

Complete selfishness in my eyes, if they cared for anyone around them, and how much they'd hurt them, they wouldn't do it.

Whilst I know you mean no harm with that comment I think it is a little naive.

Explain to me why I'm naive?. If a person has mental disorders or shows signs of irrational or emotional behaviour, would this not be noticed by close family members/friends? Nobody outright just 'tops' themselves without giving any signs whether they're sane or suffering from severe anxiety. Again, if they understood the emotional stress they'd cause to close family members or friends, they'd give it a second thought or even seek help.

Out of the numerous people i've known that topped themselves at least 3 of them gave no indication of being suicidal or extremely depressed.

To go to sleep with the hope of not waking up, not wanting to face the suffocating truth of an awful, lonely and pitiful existence. No way out, no escape. Just the grim dark thoughts to keep you company. Selfish?

Two of my squadie mates did this. Both served in the Falklands. No help when they came back. One left 3 kids. Still see his widow from time to time. She still finds it hard 20 years on.

I've only ever seen suicide from the other side, ie train drivers that have to deal with killing someone and from a personal perspective how fucking horrific it is having to clean up what's left of someone off a platform or the front of a train. I used to think it was the most selfish thing to do but it was a thread on here a while back that educated me and changed my mind.

I've made two attempts to kill myself in the last year. On the second occasion there was much deliberation in regard to sectioning me. I still remain unconvinced they made the right choice.

Hopefully the Personality Disorder Programme I have been enrolled on will vanquish the disturbing thoughts and images running around in my head.
