I have a friend who was always a little troubled. South African. Shit parents. No family. Came to England with his only true friend. A kid he'd grown up with... they were like brothers. His friend slowly died in front of him of cancer. That pushed him over the edge and he tried to commit suicide. Failed. Was put in to a mental hospital for 3 months, where he tried again quite horrifically several times to kill himself.
Anyway, the point of my post is that was 3 years ago. He's now been living in Vietnam for 2 years. Has met the love of his life, has a great job and is living the dream in Asia. Very happy and fulfilled.
He thanks himself every day that his attempts were futile.
Things get better. Things change.

"Suicide rates in the United States have risen nearly 30% since 1999, and mental health conditions are one of several factors contributing to suicide."
- first generation to have a lower quality of life than the one before. News is shit, some how equality is worse than ever. Evil corp is taking over the world.mugwart
- no wonder. I really hear and feel for this.mugwart
- Social media makes people jealous and more angry.freedom
- reading how pay raises haven't gone up in like 20-30 years so no one can thrive in this shit.

Blame social media. People get so jealous of others' lives and a sarcastic tweet can backfire and ruin a career or lead to hate mail.
- People didn't commit suicide before 1997?detritus

- I think Social media has made people more mentally unstable and effected our psyches.
Its just one of many atributesmugwart - I guess Detritus didn't see the very post before thisset
- I guess set assumes that one datapoint on an internet forum is some polar absolute reference, which given his general perspective makes a lot of sensedetritus
- I guess set doesn't realise that suicide rates were historically much higher way before 1997.detritus
- I guess set decided something beforehand, didn't challenge his assumption, then dangled off detritus' balls for god-knows only what reason.detritus
- i guess i'm just being 'defensive'.detritus

There’s always an alternative.
- You're spot on but when your lost and so much is 'broken' it often feels like the only one.mugwart
- I understand. I really do.monospaced

There are people who have problems, get overwhelmed and kill themselves with no premeditation and leave a family behind, and then there's people who believe in the right to die.
I'm in the latter category, and will probably off myself before I'm 40, and I don't think it's that big of a deal.
- just don't, this is way too earlyApeRobot
- It’s a big deal.monospaced
- garbage, ...not sure i can argue with you but it would be worth it to speak with someone about it. why do you think you would kill yourself before 40?notype
- 60's the new 40 anyway_niko
- I think we're a big cosmic fluke, we shouldn't be here really, but since we are we should enjoy it for as long as we can. This is it, fireflies in the night._niko
- Before 40? Come on, when you are in the best years of your life? Think it twice, mateOBBTKN
- Haha, I'm not standing on a precipice or anything, I think you guys are getting the wrong idea. @niko Life is great, but I want to enjoy it for as long..garbage
- ..as I like. I have no interest in getting old, is all. There's not much activity in the doom and gloom dept here.garbage

A friend of a friend passed yesterday and I am almost sure it was a suicide. His wife passed away from a seizure a few years ago and he had been coping with severe substance abuse issues. He leaves behind a little daughter.
I have funny memories of me and him wandering around parties with cellphones taped to our heads. The guy was a goof and that is in short supply these days. I know his friends and family are devastated and I almost cracked up calling my friend—he was like a best friend to her.
His daughter it the one who is going to be most devastated and I hope a circle of love and trust forms around that little girl.

- You've been pondering suicide for a while now. You'll be alright.palimpsest
- It’s not a ponder. Death is a desire. Suicide is more of a fascination.imbecile
- Farley, Mac Miller, Phillip Seymor Hoffman, and Marilyn Monroe didn't die of suicide.fooler
- overdose is consider self inflicted death - suicideimbecile
- Every death that is not murder is suicide.
Suicide is murder. There is no suicide, there is only death.palimpsest
