Life may seem hopeless, but there's much love and wonder yet to discover

Georgia Board cry for help
Poster contemplating suicide...seems to be real.
I just hope all Mizzou posters understand that no matter what happens in life, there are people who care and will help you.

If you read just the first few pages, it seems very real. Site admins even called the poster to speak to him. People were calling the national suicide hotline. Law enforcement was notified.
Scary if true.

They handled it well and did not assume it was a joke. A lot of BS and trash talk on here but certain topics would hopefully never be used as a troll, this being one of them.

Wasnt site admins just regular posters with research skills.

I know Jeff can rustle some jimmies, but he was one of the initial posters involved in getting help for 7sins. Props to him and the GA posters for sure!

What y'all did brought tears to my eyes. Literally. For all the BS that goes on around here, it's wonderful to see compassion and empathy like that.
I really, really hope that he'll be ok physically and get the help he needs emotionally. We can never know what's truly going on in someone's life, especially on a forum like this. You never know how much pain someone may be in. But I'm so glad y'all took this seriously.

I hope that dude is ok.
I just went to a suicide funeral, I wish he could have been there. The pain that's caused by this act is worse than than any of the pain they feel.
If anyone here ever feels down and out, just remember, there's someone who cares, just reach out. Doesn't matter what they're doing, they'll be glad to hear from you.

It's been a few years ago for me, but they are the worst.

This.
It doesn't matter if people care or are willing to give the effort of caring (which is usually the case) because there is a pain, a horror, not just a sadness that can't be explained and no amount of care or understanding by anyone can fix it.
It's like every cell in your body is nauseous and wants to throw up but it can't.
Most of my favorite people died early. It really does seem like the best way to go, I just wish it was easier to do, wish there was a black hole to just step through and be gone. It's not so much about self pity and self hatred as it is about just not wanting to exist, not wanting to play anymore. I usually just want to be in a long coma, not fully dead. But since this is impossible I do the slow torturous ever repeating internal dying thing.
I choose to isolate this to myself (as best I can). I've sent many girls that would be great gf's/potential wives away explaining that I will be too hard to deal with, that they'd be better off without me, the good ones usually hang around and try to work magic but it's always hopeless.
I will say one benefit to being like this is experiencing the ultra happiness that can only be felt against the contrast of ultra melancholy.

Sleepy,
I wish I knew you in real life, brother. I'm convinced that you and I would have incredible conversations full of breakthroughs and epiphanies.
I understand your thought process on this subject more than you know and I wish that we could just chat for an afternoon.
Life masquerades itself as a tragic movie full of sadness. But behind the mask, life is beautiful and full of wonder.

I would join in that discussion. There have been a couple of times in my life I've struggled with serious bouts of depression. It's been situational, but that feeling can suck you in to the point that you can't see a light at the end of the tunnel. And you struggle to find a reason to go on. And rather than life being beautiful, sometimes I feel like it's the opposite - it's a tragedy and you're a fortunate person if you find true happiness and beauty in it. In my experience, those things are fleeting - they don't last, and people will let you down.
But still, you live for those good times, and for the people you would hurt if you checked out. You keep on, because that's what you do. And because, eventually, those happier times come around again. And for a while, it's good. That's what you live for. You must have faith. Faith has gotten me through a lot.

Went through a 10 year period in my life from the mid 70's to mid 80's where I was doing drugs heavy drinking etc. Most of my close friends came from families where there was a divorce (not mine) and it seemed everyone was trying to numb themselves from an imperfect life. I was so ambivalent about life, one moment thinking about all the possibilities and just as quickly thinking this whole world sucked. For me it really came down to a spiritual plea to God to show me the way. I'm by no means a devout Christian but when I prayed to the Father on my knees things began to change, I quit drugs, one of my best friends who had a lot of crap happen to him (sister died of Reyes syndrome, father committed suicide) also through Christ quit all drugs and drinking. Not trying to throw religion on anyone but it does not hurt to pray with all sincerity to the Creator.

This is a touchy subject for me. I used to contemplate this all the time sadly. And i even have a decent life.

Great post. I know how it feels, sadly I don't see many good things in this life and if they come around they leave as quick as they came. :(

We've probably all stood on the edge of the abyss and felt the temptation to simply step in. It has seemed an attractive solution at moments in my life. I don't have a pat answer for any of this, but sometimes I'll enjoy sitting in the mud with others. Connections and relationships are the only way any of us survive.
