I am everywhere...
I was walking into my flat yesterday when one of my friend from another block came to ask if i heard what happened? Im like no, i dont...what happened?

He the proceed to explain to me how a guy (another neighbour i know well) had an arguement with his longterm GF and mother of 3 kinds over the weeks....blah blah blah, police got invole, an injuction was gonna be served. Guess what this guy then did? He went and hang himself on the staircase landing! :eek: I never in a million years think he would such a thing!! Luckily my friend telling me the story went upstairs and saw him dangling on the stair case, he swiftly cut him lose and called the medic and police.

Now we've been informed this morning his condition is critical and even if he survives he might be vegetable (right expression?). Before hanging himself, he phoned his GF to let her know he was gonna do something really bad to himself.

This is a very sad and stupid thing to do imo because of an argument. The guy who hanged himself, seem normal to me, we chat every satuday when im washing my car downsatirs, he drives an kitted up nissan skyline, he seems sensible and i cant seem to get it off my head why he would wanna do that because of an arguement with a woman ffs!

Another similar event..

Years back while i was working in Grafton centre in cambridge. A boy of sixteen year old decided to jump from car park down onto the concrete basement (about 3 or 4 floors high)!!! :eek: Needless to say his white stuff in his skull was everywhere. What makes the whole thing stupid is because he did it because he got jilted by his GF!!! I mean wtf, you are only 16 for god sake!!

Anyway, i thought i share this with you guys as i dont understand why someone will wanna do what imv (in my view) i consider something stupid and totally pathetic because of one or two issue with a woman.
I dont know if any member of the forum has gone down that route before....pardon me and i dont mean no offence, perhaps they could help us shed light on this interesting behaviour of human being.....Having said that, there are cultures in the part of the world that see sucide as a thing of honour....
I for once wouldnt consider sucide as a way out of any of the above problem..what the hell, not even any problem i might be facing in life...will you?

I personally know at least 10 people who have committed suicide and only one had a real mental condition and its unbelievable when it happens because 'You never saw it coming'.
I went through a bad time in 88 and very nearly topped myself so I know what its like to be on the brink.

Heres my tale from another thread - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7231505&postcount=40
 
You don't know the rest of his problems though El, just because it looks like a row with hs gf. You don't know what else is going on, debt, unhappiness, booze, porn, impotence etc.

Man, thanks for that. You must have went through hell and got totured by the devil to wanna even consider doing that :( . Im glad you pull through though..... Well done, im totally speechless.
 
Touching story that dmpoole glad it worked out for you. For people like us El it's hard to imagine comtemplating suicide but even if the reason seems trivial to you, as an individual if you see no hope and your living in pain, I can see how people could do it.

You are right, i dont know the rest of his problem - according what i heard he depends too much on the GF (he cant read or write apparently) but having said that, regardless of where his problem is gonna lead to, i dont think sucide is the way out. I mean think about the three children he had with the GF, think about the GF, think about the other lives he will bring sorrow to .......

Porn?

What... lol
 
I had a pretty **** time at the end of last year/beggining of this. Granted i didn't contemplate suicide but i did do some very, very stupid things and i can tell you for 100% certain that i couldn't have cared less about the potential harm it could have done, including death.

It's not something you can understand till you've been there i guess. Like i say, i haven't quite been there myself but i have an idea. it's really only since then that i can appreciate that sometimes people are suffering and it's the only way they can see the suffering ending.

Saddest thing is that from the outside you can see that things will get better and these people can be helped but the people themselves simply can't see things as clearly and rationaly as you can from the outside. :(
 
These threads seem to crop up now and again. Everyone goes through a really bad patch at some point their lives. How you handle it is down to support, and character.

I dont think any less of anyone who does it though.
 
I think it's a real shame that people see suicide as the best option. I'm not always the happiest person but I'd much prefer to live with what I've got rather than end it all. It's hard to imagine someone feeling otherwise, but it happens unfortunately.
