garlic prawns Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I personally haven’t had much experience wit the whole suicide thing, except once a dude jumped in front of a train I was on and being retarded I opened the doors, only to see his mangled body. Scared me for seriously, it was a train full of school kids as well. People are fucked up that’s all I can say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Wallbanger Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I've had some experience with it, and that shit sucks. Suicide doesn't end your pain, it simply transfers it to the people who know you. Rummy is right, it is important that you let those close to you know that you're there for them. Best of luck man.

RumPuncher Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 A friend from highschool got drunk and hung himself about three weeks ago. another reason why I'm staying off the booze for a while. alcohol has ruined so many lives, and it's starting to scare me just how close some of those lives were to my own. sorry to go off topic.

Some1 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I remember when my bassists brother hung himself... It hit our whole town so hard because he was this talented popular kid smart as hell athletic he seemed happy. Then one day I get a call from my now ex at 7 in the morning said Len hung himself (this was two days after recieving a call saying 2 of my friends died in a car accident and I recieved a call at the same time of the morning so needless to say I was pretty hurt and confused). My bassist was so hurt you jsut have to be close to the people always be around for them to talk to and surround them with love... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're telling me. Alcohol, drugs and bad decisions have already killed a good chunk of the people I used to consider friends- and I'm only 23.

26SidedCube Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I did the clean living thing for a while... until I realized that my inability to cope with stress in my day to day was turning me into a fucking timebomb. So now I just moderate. *I should probably note that it's currently noon and I'm still sobering up from last night's adventures in wheat ale. I guess I'm still getting the hang of that whole 'moderation' thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 There's a tree near me that some kid hung himself off of in, like, '96. The kid who initially found the body on the way to school hung himself off the same tree five years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issac Brock Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 TO BE HONEST.. I feel like a lot of people like to refer to suicide as it was selfish, like how you said that he left a lot of people in tears...and lots of people say this..but I know the feeling of fake-ass appreciation. I don't know anything about this case, but for example, in any suicide situation, these people may have said they liked him a lot, but did they ever really hang out with him? Did they ever listen to him? Did they actually care about him, or was he just an accessory of a friend to them? Its something to think about sometimes, because just because these people said they liked him or whatever, it doesn't mean they really cared.

blood fart Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I saw in the paper today that a chick I know died this week. I am assuming that it was drug related. That's how things happen. She was 25. Years ago, I poisoned her with an ipecac infused beer. As a joke. Recipe for laughter is as follows, 1 can of warm Keystone Light over ice 2/3 bottle ipecac group of street kid runaway losers I offered it to her in exchange for a cigarette. With lies about eating too much food and not being able to drink my beer just yet. Her boyfriend drank some. So did two other friends. My crew sat half a block away and watched the yakfest unfold. It was more than hilarious. One of them vomited violently three times. While on the way to the alley to vomit. They didn't get the joke much. Another friend of mine shot himself in the head this weekend. So it goes. Booze+emotions+firearms=disaster Another one bites the dust.
