I do remember you talking about your ex girlfriend @jukebox.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for saying my thread was touching.
I had a lot on my mind when I wrote it a couple of nights ago. And I just had to get it off my chest.
Take care,

You know, it is not a cruel world outside. It is just life is unfair. It is unfair that schizophrenia exists and people in the world have to live with it. Some people can cope with things will some people will take a shortcut. This world has a lot of good things in it. I believe that the man upstairs has given us this world and the things in it to enjoy. So do not call this world cruel. It is your thinking that is making the world cruel. Next time you are outside, say one thing nice to someone and see how they react.
No the world is cruel and ■■■■■■ up. We were dealt shitty hands in a shitty world. I do volunteer and also help neighbors yet they still gossip about me. I am numb to it because they are ignorant. ■■■■ this world and enjoy those brief moments of fun. Take care of yourself because nobody else can
Friends, please no arguing.
Everyone has their own view of the world, and that’s okay!
I have a lot going on right now, and I’m feeling pretty scared.
So let’s please be peaceful, okay?

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. It is natural because mourning someone’s death is a never-ending process, kind of.
My close cousin committed suicide in 2011 at age 24 and my grad school classmate committed suicide too in 2013. I felt horrible, like I should have said that or i should have said this…it’s a worthless train of thought, though, because in the end i cannot go back in time and say the perfect thing at the perfect time. I decided to just focus on the shared smiles and shared experiences.
I hope you are coping okay.

Hi @HQuinn,
I’m coping well, as best as I can.
I agree with what you wrote about how there’s really nothing we could’ve said or done.
That being said, can I give you a ((Hug)) and say I’m sorry for your losses?
Thank you for your kind words. 
Take care, amiga!

Every suicide is painful, if not for the victim, then to varying degrees by the survivors.
I’m very sorry about your friend and whatever it was that caused him to decide life wasn’t worth living. Our minds play tricks on us, and each of us has times when we are not ourselves. I hope you’ll cherish the memories that you had together, and live your own life richly and well.
While this is tragic, take comfort in the knowledge that your friend is no longer suffering.

I like this. And it’s taken me years to realize this and accept this.
Thank you @InnerCircle for your kind words. 
I was thinking about my friend i lost to suicide. It still hurts me till this day. I hate she took her life. I hate she fell between the cracks and got lost and didnt get help. I dont care what anyone says years can go by and that hurt is still the same.

Every time i hear this song or play it it reminds me of her.
I am saying be at peace. Why don’t people realize it’s their mental illness that caused that and their pain was too much for this world. As my therapist has told me when people die where I used to volunteer, it’s not your job to live other people’s life’s, they must make their own choices and dwelling on the negative, past etc will just tether you down the rabbit hole with them. Live life today is a new day. I know you’re scared, that is part of life and living with a mental illness. I’ve been going on about 20 years of this bs, I’ve seen too many die to their diseases. I’m always scared, but it is what it is. Sadly, I have known more people than I can count on fingers and toes that have killed themselves…so if people wanna think I’m an insensitive person, I don’t give a ■■■■. It’s their choice not ours, and grieve for awhile if you want, but then move on. Suicide is self-righteous don’t forget that

K. My first example, my uncle was sz and went after my aunt with a knife when I was 6. She ran…locked herself in closet. After a few hours she came out and found him asleep, he woke up, she told him what he did…knife in hand jabbed himself in throat right in front of her…that was just my first…and he used to be what I thought was “my favorite” uncle cuz he’d always bring me a “my little pony” when he saw me.
I have no similar experience to draw from, but you’re in my thoughts and prayers.

I lost a cousin to suicide, a second cousin I barely knew, this was 6 months ago and it still shocks and hurts me. To lose a close friend must be heartbreaking. I’m sorry for your loss.
