Suicide
I found out today that a good friend of mine from high school committed suicide last night. This has never happened to someone I knew closely.
I'm not sure how to process the emotions I'm feeling. |

I've lost friends to suicide and to OD. You don't ever really understand it unfortunately.

Condolences.
I have dealt with Suicide, OD and Murder myself several times. It's a horrible thing to deal with man, thoughts and prayers buddy. |

It's not a very helpful answer for what you're going through but like Mac459 said, it's best to focus on the good times and the memories. |

Sorry to hear. I'm in a similar boat. A friend I'd worked with for a couple of years killed himself a couple of weeks ago. He was 24.
This year has been really tough on all of us. Check on your people, make sure they're ok. Every emotion you're feeling is legitimate and okay. You just gotta go through it. Anger, sadness, all of it. |

I feel so badly for these people. Imagine how hopeless and depressed they must feel. A lot of people mistakenly assume that people who commit suicide are selfish.
It’s the exact opposite. They have such low self esteem that they often believe the world will be a better place without them. Had a buddy who recently committed suicide. And I have one more friend who is going through a really rough patch and I’m concerned he will end up that way as well. |

i almost killed myself back in 2005. gun was loaded and everything. it’s the worst feeling i’ve ever felt and don’t wish it upon anyone. looking back on it i can’t believe i ever got that depressed. lucky my parents knew something was wrong and caught me before i could do it.

First thing to try to grasp is its not possible to make sense of something that doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.
Its a very unnatural thing caused by illness and illness alone. |

A buddy from high school had his brother commit suicide when we were about 20. He always seemed like he was mad at life. Didn't ever seem happy. Probably should have saw it coming. I'm sure he had undiagnosed depression.
My mom is bipolar and has had bouts with depression. Luckily I did not get passed on the gene. I couldn't ever imagine killing myself. I'd rather be a bum drinking mouthwash than kill myself. It really is a sickness.
