Do you know anyone who’s died of suicide?

[ScarletTanager]

Had a childhood friend who used pills to die the week she turned 40 y.o. Sad, she was obese and didn't think she'd find anyone.

 

[ignorableaurochs]

Nope nobody

Very surprised my mum hasn't, she used to call me sobbing at least once a week threatening to do it

We no longer talk

Both of my mother's brothers have ended their lives. One when I was 11 and the other when I was way younger so I don't remember a lot about them. Maybe the time I was watching flash animations with one of them when I was visiting him and my grandma.
A couple years ago we visited one of their graves, my dad called his actions foolish, but I looked at his grave and said, "I'm sure you had your reasons."

Yes. My father committed suicide. They found him dead in his apartment.

One of my uncles who took care of me growing up. He got a work injury that made him disabled with chronic pain on a wheelchair. I understood why he did it. All I have is empathy and compassion for him.

And my yoga teacher :( Hers was sudden and a surprise. Although she did speak about her mental health sometimes with her students as a way to relate to us.

Not someone I knew super well but a parent of someone I went to school with committed suicide a few years ago

i never got to meet my aunt, but she took her life in her childhood bedroom a few years before i was born. i've been cleaning out my grandpas house now the he's passed away, and after seeing her longggg history of psych ward stays and diagnoses and empty prescription bags, i know she was trying her best to stay. she just couldn't go anymore

 

[rabidbunny]

it was more a friend of a friend but we were mutuals online. i think we were seniors in high school and she had been recently raped with her friend on a night out. they both attempted and were sent to the psych ward. when she got out she attempted again and succeeded. i remember seeing the story of their rapes on our local news site and so many people in the comments were blaming them, two teenage girls for doing what so many teenagers do instead of the woman that tricked them and the rapist themselves. people are so horrible:/. anyways at the time i had already attempted myself and been in the psych ward twice. i feel guilty for saying this but i was secretly jealous of her suicide. i wanted to ask how she did it but ofc id never ask a grieving friend that. i remember looking at her priv ig account for weeks because it didnt feel real. i hope shes resting easy, she didnt deserve any of that.

 

[whiskers]

The closest I know was some guys that I talked to in an incel forum.

 

[LostLily]

I didn't know anyone personally in real-life who committed. My friend's sister, who I never met, hung herself when she was 15. Just a few weeks ago she wished her sister a heavenly 30 year birthday. Makes me wonder if I will still be remembered 15 years after my death.

I been going to websites like this for a while now and I wonder if any of them actually went through with it. The part of me hopes they didn't.

 

[Apokryphiel]

Outside of my brother, no. I've had a few friends in the past who struggled with suicidal ideation, but I'm not sure how or where they are these days.

 

[sadmarmoset]

my boyfriend killed himself a while ago, i had to call the police and report him missing. they found him shortly after. im heartbroken i didnt get to see him a final time or have a memorable goodbye, but im grateful he didnt ctb in our home for me to find him. its all so complicated and hard to live with

 

[-nobodyknows-]

I have. Didn't really change my opinion on it too much

 

[scndgyo]

I know two people, and they were friends of my friends. I barely knew any of them but sometimes I find myself wondering how they must have felt during their last few moments and if I'm any different from them. My friends seemed to have moved on easily but the thought of their existence pops back into my head every once in a while.

 

[bananaolympus]

Yes when i was 6 one aunt od over a breakup she was 17

 

[DoomCry]

Only indirect knowledge, when there are new obituaries in town someone mentions to you that it was a suicide. People don't want to talk about it, it's seen as a taboo.

 

[aiyuxhan]

one of my uncles who took care of me growing up, killed himself after getting an injury that disabled him in a wheelchair causing chronic pain :(
