Lost another damn friend today. This time was suicide. At least I assume so. Nothing else makes sense.

Shit is so pointless. Just tears apart the people left behind.
Sorry to hear that man. I’ve lost a few myself but none to that. I can’t imagine.

That makes 3 in the last 6 months so hopefully that's it.

My one buddy it's his best friend since childhood he's pretty tore up. I see the guy who passed about weekly. Had no idea he was even struggling like that.

Can we all just admit Lebron should be an actor?

You never know what people are going through because people do a great job of hiding it

Damn, sorry for your loss...

I've seen it happen too and I can relate...

Yeah, lost my brother in 2018 to alcohol poisoning that he was hiding far too well. Not a public drunk, was self-medicating with alcohol (persistent nerve pain in his feet and legs) and not eating. When I found him we thought it was due to a fall, but it wasn't. Tough to deal with something like that, as beyond the emotional loss you tend to blame yourself for not seeing it and helping more (or at least I did/do). It's been long enough to numb and forget most of the time, but family gatherings like Easter bring those memories back.

That's all I have to say about that, can't be emotional at work...

I am thinking this is also a possibility here. He lost his wife like 10 years ago (she basically drank herself to death) and he.goes through bouts where he basically drinks a lot or not at all.

But dude was in great shape and actually fought MMA a few years back but still kept up on jogging etc so it isn't highly unlikely it was anything health. Thus my deduction it was suicide.

He never dated (that i saw) after her and he's a pretty good looking dude. He just kept mourning her. But he didn't seem depressed persay

I'm sorry to hear that about your brother. That sucks man. That pain never goes away
