Have you lost someone to suicide?
 

Just curious if any of you have dealt with this. I lost my brother on Xmas eve almost a year ago and we were close. Spoke on a daily basis. Anyone here ever lost someone in this fashion. I only bring it up because his birthday is Tuesday and I have never bought my brother flowers for his bday nor spent one without him.

Wow, man. I'm sorry for your loss. :happysad: I've had someone close take a stab at it and luckily fail.

Yep years ago lost a good friend to suicide after a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the waist down.
I see it as the pussies way out no matter who or for what reasons. The only exception I have is final stages of a terminal illness, up to that point you fight that shit.

I have, and I've spent my past 3 years doing research on it with an MD. PM me if you want to talk about it.

Thanks for the replies. @ nightshade I don't think you have dealt with it on the level I have. I understand your statement and as you said an ailment is one thing and I agree with you. It's my brother though. We have always been close and dealt with shit together that would blow most peoples mind. If it were anyone else I would assign them the same label.

From a clinical point of view, this is incredibly ignorant and uninformed.

From a clinical point of view suicide is a definite sign of mental illness ;)

Permanent solution to temporary problems. Argue it how you like but this is the way I see it.

i think you are just an asshole. i grew up in texas and i see people everyday like you. filth.

I have not lost anyone close to me but i have seen my classmates and others committing suicide, its causes lot of grief to family. My condolence to you.

That's fine you are allowed to believe what you like.
You asked on a public forum and I replied with my view on the subject, just because it doesn't agree with your viewpoint I am an asshole...makes perfect sense.
