Sorry to hear man.. even around here, in my quiet little service area, we've had a spike in suicides lately. It's never easy running those calls, especially when it's someone so young.

This past year, we've had a 50 some female OD on 16 Fentanyl patches in a motel room, a 15 year old kid hang himself over summer break, a 17 year old girl shoot herself in the head over a breakup, a middle aged father and husband shoot himself, another middle aged male shoot himself with a shotgun over a drunken argument with his girlfriend, and an elderly male end his life the week of Thanksgiving. Not to mention what I've heard come in over the radio.. people can get creative.

By far the worse were those younger kids. They had so much left to live for, and in a moment of perceived hopelessness and despair, chose a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I cannot imagine what one must go through to get to that point.

Sorry bro :hs:
