    It hurts, because as a friend you think "Well fuck I was there why didn't you call me you son of a bitch!" And then you turn it on yourself as you wonder what you could have done differently or what sign you missed. And then the anger just lingers longer then the remorse. I'd like to tell you it gets better, but honestly it never does, part of the reason I attack exercise with such fury is to work out the hate.

    It can, but you have to find your own peace with it.

    Guess I haven't gotten there yet, try not to think about it honestly. It's a sore subject like voting for John Kerry or jerking off to grace jones.

    I had to spend a long time thinking about it. Took a long time to get it into focus. It's not one of those things that heal by ignoring it.

    I had a friend about five years ago basically do a suicide-by-cop... but he was seriously disturbed and way off the deep end, babbling about shadow governments and stuff... I thought he had gone in for treatment and then two months later, he's dead outside of Ft. Eustis. That was tragic, but I could wrap my head around it.

    This time, it's just a guy who up and Joplined himself for no apparent reason. How the fuck do you reconcile that?

    Yeah, a woman in Chicago did this, killed 3 people but was barely injured herself. She got 8 years in prison because they found her "mentally ill", it was reduced to just over 3, she actually served about 10 months since she'd been in jail for about 2 years during the trial, and was released.

    if I were to commit suicide

    it would definitely be a out-of-the-blue situation for most people

    maybe someone would realize that there were signs that I'm not as happy as I seem

    I can't stand the thought of someone beating themselves up over not noticing before things that I hide so well

    I would never commit suicide for that reason

    because there is no way to say "it's not your fault" and make people believe it

    and even if there were, what would that help?

    People would care if I was dead.

    Sometimes, when I'm really down, I have to repeat that really hard

    but I've never really disbelieved that people care about me a great deal

    See this is why we have serious problems with the cultural acceptance of mental health issues, because as far as I know it comes up time and time again that suicidal people convince themselves it wouldn't greatly distress or inconvenience anyone if they were dead.

    Saw that too, she's suing the father along with the company that built the bridge she caused the accident under. Of course, the text message she sent her boyfriend seconds before the crash makes her case pretty much unwinnable.
