No, it's really not. Being alone isn't the same as being lonely.

That's what I meant, good clarification.

Originally these words were pretty much interchangeable, but “hanged” eventually came to be used pretty exclusively to mean “executed by hanging.

Noted!

However, you are both wrong (to 'correct' the OP), since 'hanged' is the generally preferred term.

IMO killing urself is easy. Having the courage to face your problems is the true bravery.

That is right. Suicide is the easy way out. Getting up every morning to face the world is the real challenge.

Sorry to hear...

Sorry to hear...

Creepy picture. Interesting though.

Calling police.

Thinking like that is what landed me in psych ward last year & resolved absolutely no issues I was having, and only made things worse. A lot worse.
For openly speaking my mind about my depression I was severely punished & am still being punished for it all for over a year later. Far as recovering from it all, I still don't see it happening for at least another 6mo.
Any and all progress towards my goals has been nearly halted, all for nothing. Time is only wasted when there is no progress.

Shut the fuck up, man up, don't be a bitch, don't talk about your issues.
Don't talk about it, be about it, just kill yourself & get it over with.
There is no middle ground.

Sad.

Never thought I'd reference Brady Quinn as a source of wisdom but his post-game comments after yesterday's game were right on point I thought. He basically said we live in a world where we communicate with eachother more than ever, but nobody really knows how one another is doing.

Rip little buddy

yup. talk about it, but don't talk about it. just another great hypocrisy of society.

I had an old roommate that offed himself. I don't think he really talked to anyone about what he was thinking.

either way, good luck.

I don't see the point in it, wouldn't you fight your $%^&ing hardest to make yourself happy?

All you gotta do is watch a nature show or something and see two animals fighting for survival to get the idea of how valuable life is, and that its worth standing up and fighting for instead of giving up. Pretty much under any circumstance where you are not dead.

I love shit like that.

Doesn't matter if you have a half broken wooden sword, you still fight

I'd like to think he survived, lol.

Not seeing this as applicable being that the ex-coworker clearly wasn't communicative, and since his actions prior to his suicide were unlikely any more expressive than his words.

Sorry to hear...

The saddest part of that is the little kitty.

Maybe his pet cat died of old age and he pined of days in which he could meet his feline companion yet again.

That's exactly the point. "How's it going", "Good," go back and forth all the time, Quinn's point was that do we ever get the real answers out of people or give them to others? Without being truthful in these simple things, do we ever know our colleagues or friends? No. So they blow up and we never had any idea what was going on inside. Even if they have a Facebook page or whatever where we know every daily detail of their life.

im surprised more people dont kill themselves. i see people all the time with unbelievable problems--divorce/problems with spouse or ex, financial problems, job pressures, etc..., youd think more of those people would give up.

Bullshit.
Living by, getting carried by events, just to live, it's much easier than actually taking your life into your own hands, overcome the self-preservation instinct and hang yourself.

Agree.
Society doesn't understand or help the people who want out, it just punishes them, pumps them full of drugs and dumps them back into their miserable life.

They just live by, escaping reality in alcohol (or drugs), because they don't have the strenght to leave.

 

[digiram]

Was partially expecting the suicide stemmed from being ex-coworker because of being fired or something.
You don't know what pushed him to do it & "help" may not have resolved his issues.
I wish I wasn't too chicken shit to do the same.

WTF?? Relax man, you got ATOT.

A coworker of mine killed himself earlier this year. He was having marital problems when he wife discovered his alcoholics anonymous journals. She then turned those journals over to the sheriff's department. The journals believed contained discussions of some terrible actions that he made in his earlier years dealing with kids, that was about to be exposed to the world and would probably result in prison time.
I personally liked the guy a lot. He was a very religious person that tried to help by sponsoring others thru his dedication to AA. This is the first time someone that I was this close with committed suicide, all I can say is that it is a confusing experience to say the least.

When I was inn training school we had a classmate that committed suicide by walking in front of traffic, that had to be painful.
