A friend's husband hung himself in their backyard, he was a mess prior to that so she wasn't totally surprised. One thing, the police didn't tell her there was a note for about a year afterwards, I don't get what made them think they had the right to hold that for so long.

That's horse shit that they didn't mention the note.

As someone who has battled anxiety more recently in his adult life(and looking back at times in my life since HS..I just didn't recognize it as such) depression usually follows bouts of it, which isn't shocking seeing as anxiety and depression are directly linked. I've never been anywhere near suicidal but have definitely battled depression during times of higher anxiety. It's something I'm mindful of only because depression does run in my family.

Whatever you've done to get better, please keep at it, bud!
Was caught in over a decade of alcohol abuse on a daily, but the underlying issues of me becoming an addict/alcoholic were prevelant ever since I was a child. Very suicidal since I was a kid. No real reason to be. The general darkness in attitude, low self esteem, etc etc we learn about when studying our addiction and personality traits were eye opening. Getting into sobriety and working on myself daily for over 3 years now in an actually program of recovery completely turned my life around. Allowed me to work through a lot. Some people also needs meds and medical counseling to deal with the emotional issues. Fortunate I did not.

Anyone that’s out there struggling with addiction, which usually follows with other mental or emotional illnesses either before, during, or after, there is a better way to live. I see it work miracles every day.

Peoples opinions on that subject vary. **** them and talk to someone who’s been through what you’ve been through.

When I was 12-13 I went through a bout of depression (also related to anxiety like First timer). Was never suicidal but I was down basically every day for a year straight.

Eventually I was able to calm my anxiety by not constantly ruminating about things that would make me anxious. I became much happier after that and haven't really dealt with depression since. I still am an anxious person and it's something I'll always have to deal with, but I have the formula now, and I don't allow myself to over think things anymore.

To answer the question of the thread, I don't know anybody who's committed suicide. Hopefully it stays that way.

Did you get professional help or figure it out on your own?

A guy I knew fairly well in high school committed suicide after killing someone. They got in an argument over a girl and decided to meet at a bar to fight. When they confronted each other in the parking lot, he pulled a gun and shot the guy and his girlfriend then blew his brains out.

Luckily the girl ended up surviving. Crazy because he was always chill and didn’t seem to have a mean bone in his body. Just further evidence you never know what someone is truly capable of.

Anxiety is a m'fer. You ever take meds or anything or what were your anxiety triggers?
