My friend committed suicide this morning.

[Fabioisonfire]

Okay, let's brag about this pity party. **** happens, bro. It's not like people have to announce it in order to get any sympathy. Plenty of people have gone through the same thing, so what makes them so special? That's right, nothing. We all go through similar things; it's just a matter of fact of seeing who's going to grow up first instead of whine about it.

You can try to be the sympathy hero here, but I'm now going to baww for anyone. How about, instead of 'Man up', let me say, 'Open your eyes to the real world.'

Thank you for blowing my mind open to reality, I really appreciate it and I'm sure everyone else really does too.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. D:> I recommend talking to a counselor or family member if you feel sad for a really long time. Remember all the good times you had with your friend, and hopefully the hurt will go away in time.

To those saying suicide is 'weakness': not cool. :L

As explained above:
It's the easy way out. A weakness of the mind that can't handle every day issues because they think their lives 'suck'. Trust me, if that person was strong, they wouldn't be dead right now, would they?

I agree.
I've dealt with TONS of stuff. Even my closest friends and relatives ripping me apart or them saying they want to commit suicide. I'm still here because I thought "Whats the point of suicide? I'm just giving up then".

Plus (although its a childish reason). I want to see all the Pok?mon games before I die.

While it's true that people have control over their behavior, mental illnesses like depression can completely wreck a person's outlook and state of mind. It's not just a simple matter of getting over it, it's biochemistry. And while you certainly have the right to your opinion, a thread that someone posted about their recently deceased friend isn't exactly the place to express it. You wouldn't be so insensitive to someone's face in real life, so don't hide behind your anonymity.

edit @ aeri: I'm not sure anyone could live long enough to see all the pokemon games. xD

This caught me completely off guard. I'm sorry for your loss.

Depression is a mental illness.
Saying that they should man up is like telling someone that they don't need insulin for their diabetes, since you sometimes get your blood sugar a little low and you deal with it.

That's terrible Very sorry for your loss.

 

[Sporge27]

I am sorry. WHAT?
Suicide is a way of 'ending your troubles' because it has all got 'way to much'.
Frankly I've been through terrible things people often say "How the **** are you still able to be as happy as you are with all of that?".
It is weak because you give up. You resign yourself to death because its an 'easy way out'.
NOTHING happens after death. I hate that fact but it's true. You just go in the ground and your worm food.

I said everyone has their moments of weakness but you are taking this too far. Not everyone has the same weakness, unfortunately depression can lead to suicide, too many drugs can lead to overdosing, too much and unsafe sex can lead to diseases, and clumsiness can lead to numerous unfortunate events. You and Aciidwire? You lack tact and empathy, your pride and arrogance will lead you down many a dark road ending in loneliness, or probably just anger the wrong person. Both of you are basically mocking someone who just died, you aren't being eye opening or clever, just mean.

Point is there is one thing every single person in the world has in common, and that is everyone dies. Not everyone even gets to live before they do. Don't go mocking things you clearly don't understand, because what leads to suicide is never a pretty path.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope you'll feel better.

Sorry to hear that. May he rest in peace.

Not only that, I want to see a Team Rocket spinoff series before I die.

My mum has depression. She's diagnosed with it. She's only threatened suicide.

Yup. I do.
I have already pointed out I do understand suicide (I've been in this situation) and I also pointed out I lack empathy for people 'I don't know/care about'.

It's a simple case of knowing someone. Plus I did put "I am sorry you lost your friend". So proof of empathy.

Let me ask you this. Are you afraid of death? Do you know what happens when you die? I mean do you really know what happens, not what your mommy or daddy told you. Death is venturing into the unknown, and imo, anyone that voluntarily ventures into that is brave.

Get the **** out you *** ******!

I can't tolerate language used like this, I am gay and really namecalling gets no where but causing more stubbornness on his side.
