Anyone know someone who's commited suicide?

My first love died at her own hands. Its fucked me up for a long time. I think of her often. I miss her all the time. We were only teenagers. It still hurts to talk about her so i dont do it often. I am still in contact with her mother.

My best friend killed him self and I have felt responsible ever since, he burned his house down while he was inside

Yes. Each time I knew they were depressed. And suspected they might be suicidal. And watched over them the best I could and told others when applicable if I thought they needed someone to stay with them. Each time, I did everything I could realistically have done to be supportive and care about them and their physical, emotional, and mental health.

I'm always saddened by it. And I still miss them. But I also know there is nothing more that I could have done. I don't put the weight of being someone else's savior on my shoulders. I can't be someone's minder 24/7 either. I can't sacrifice myself for another again. I can't live someone else's life for them. I need my own life. I will help the best I am able to though

It affects me, by making me try to be kinder to others who may need extra kindness. It also taught me that you can't make someone all better. It's sad, because you want them to be happy and have a good life.

I would tell others that it's ok to miss them and to feel sad...but honor them by living well and treating others with kindness and love, and not growing depressed yourself.

I do. Sadly there are a quite a few and each year that number seems to grow. However there are two that still and will forever really affect me. I carry a ton of guilt from each. I try to talk about them more than I have in previous years. Telling the stories seem to get a little easier each time, but all the pain, guilt, and sorrow will forever be wrapped up tightly clenching at my heart.

Unfortunately yes many years ago when i was a teenager, and so was she.

If i had known her intention in advance i would have talked her out of it , run through her options.

It shocked and upset me then ..as much as it still upsets me now. Its not an event which is easily forgotten.

I didn't witness it. We were told the following day at school 🥲 she wasnt a close friend, just someone who was sweet natured who somtimes past the time of day with.

If I know someone is sad enough to be thinking of suicide, i tell them this blip is temporary & soon enough it will be gone. I reach out to them more often in the hope that together we can move beyond this time.

Yes I do. It’s very sad.

I..yeah. Yeah I do...😓

Well....There were 2 cases of suicide....one was in college and one was the son of woman I was seeing....that came as a real surprise!!And actually another woman in her 20's a friend of mines girlfriend....they may be gone but the pain and questions that will never go away they leave behind!!!

Yes, there were a few in the family.
