I just found out today that a friend of mine killed himself this weekend. 45 years old, attorney, his daughter is a sophomore in college in town and lives in my building. Apparently, he had boughts with depression before some years ago. He recently split up with his 27-yr-old Quebequa girlfriend -- though it seems to me this would not have been determinative to him. He had a band and they cut a demo CD, I have a copy at home -- pretty good. He was cynical and hated the legal profession, but still seemed to have joia de vivre (spelling?).
Anyway, sad news all around.

Damn, nothing in your description leads to any reason for suicide.
It's funny you know, some people have perfectly good lives and still think about suicide. Personally I've never thought about suicide, but I often think I wouldn't care if something killed me, as long as it wasn't painful.

Sad news indeed. A friend of mine did the same thing last year for no apparent reason. She was 32 with two little girls under 6.

Sorry Timber,
The worst part of depression is the way it isolates the rest of the world. Now his poor family and friends are going to be so traumatized forever. There are no good answers...hopefully his daughter will be okay.

sorry from me too...it is indeed strange how the human mind works. i also have a view as to not caring really about death if its painless. sometimes ive even pondered what the point in living really is, though ive never considered suicide.

Whats everyones problem with pain? I dont care if I die slow and painful or quick and painless.
It really sucks about your friend man, but I guess if we were meant to understand these things then there wouldnt be such a thing as suicide. And I cant remember who said it but theres is no wrong or right reason to commit suicide, it is done because one cannot take it anymore, anything can push someone to this point. Anyway, my thoughts are with his family, J.W.K |

I am awfully sorry to hear that, TL. I have some experience with that topic and know how much that can shock and rattle you.
