    A very good friend of mine passed away on Thursday and was found at his home on Saturday of suicide. Another distant friend died a week ago from an overdose. I can't stress this enough, but please check on your friends that may be struggling with depression through all of this. I just spoke to my homie Chris before the lockdown and we were going to hang out. After the lockdown I never checked in but just assumed I'd see him on the other side. Work loss, money, and isolation was too much for him. I wish I could have called him when he crossed my mind. It may not have changed anything, but now I will never know. :'(

    • I’ve been thinking about this for a couple weeks now. Stats say we need to be more aware of our older relatives and associates, as they are at a higher risk.imbecile
