killing urself and writing a suicide note in game forum

[Traianvs]

A good friend of mine hung himself last week too
I was really amazed because he was not a loner at all.. he looked at life pretty positively (or so I thought) and I can't say I've ever seen him angry or pissed off about something. Now THAT I don't understand.

In the situation here the guy spends his days behind his computer etc... Friends on the internet is great, but If you don't get out in real life after a while you get depressed anyway.

Precisley (what i was trying to say, but put far more succinctly and coherantly )

I think it is beautfil in a way, that whole 'virtual' communities unite to show support.

i read their thread and saw many people from other forums coming to express their grief and best wishes.

This person who felt so lonely and who couldn't fit in life, has now got more people thinking of him than he could ever imagine.

Makes you wonder what a really small place the world is becoming.

If you know their SURNAME, yeah.

I had a similar situation when I ran FFZ years ago. I had minimal real life info, but I ran down the IP info, got the phone number info from the WHOIS lookup on the IP owner, got on the phone with them and gave them the IP info within a few minutes of the posts, so they were able to match a dynamic IP with the particular user online at that time and contact the authorities.

Grieve? for a guy they'd never even posted on the same board as, let alone met?

It's SO easy to post a 'Oh man, that sux' message, it doesn't make it grieving and it trivializes (IMHO) those have grieved IRL

Sorry but that's clearly marked as an exit not an entrance.

Sounds like someone needs an empathy enema or compassion suppository.

Actually I left a suicide note here before, my attempt failed, but I had given away my login to Alexander's Horse... so I lost the login Evan von Christoph... it all blew up in my face...

You'd be surprised how much a message board can mean to a person that has little or no contact with people.

I'm just glad I'm not as depressed as I used to be, it did take about 500mg combined of Anti-depressants though... who would have thought?

This indeed makes me sad, but hopefully the pain will be over for him, that isn't guarenteed so I've learned.

Whew, I was worried this thread was an Apolytoner posting a suicide note.

Well, that sure makes my sense of privacy all the more better.

EDIT: To Possibly protect the Poster...but I will say the poster told me this at the Diego Polymeet.

HEY

No personal details Lonestar

Edit that out....

[Tingkai]

Just a friendly reminder:
Suicide is the result of many factors. It is a mental illness that can be treated. When the pain seems overwhelming and you start to think that death is a real option, get some help. Go see a doctor. Call a suicide prevention hotline. Talk to people here.

damn edit feature. This is why I have a thread in the Apolyton/community forum asking to ban the edit feature . What did I miss? Was it about me?

I really don't have many people in my life. social anxiety does that to you. or me at least. it affects people differently I'd guess.

I may just bit the bullet and try antidepressents. They are advertised for treating depression and anxiety. Can they do both at the same time. Seems like a miracle drug to me. I have my doubts it can work. and those side effects...

I tried a couple and the side effects ruined them for me... but I also tried counseling and that helped a lot. I also think that, if I can convince my doctor to get me a CPAP machine, that will help a great deal by giving me more energy thruout the day. I always feel much better when I accomplish tasks...

That should teach you to always use a proxy before leaving a suicide note online...
