Hello all

[Smudgedlines]

I find myself here following the shocking suicide of two friends. One unexpectedly hanged herself just before Christmas... I don't know the details...it was apparently following a row with her "unofficial" partner. He followed her 2 weeks later. He tied a cable tie around his neck and was found on the floor.

it has rocked our community. To the core.

I have been experiencing issues myself.
Menopausal symptoms. Depression. Horrific pressure at work. I hate most people right now bar my kids and a select, very select few. And my dogs.

I've read a Lot of threads and so many are at peace that I almost feel jealous.

anyway, for now. I'm an observer. But there is a potential light in the darkness so I am hoping you will allow me to stick around.

Welcome to the forum I'm so sorry to hear about the losses that you've suffered recently, I hope they're both at peace.
This is a great place for resources, to meet like minded people, even for those looking for recovery as well. It's not all doom and gloom. I hope you enjoy your time here. Sending love

I'm sorry you've lost friends in a way that must be hard to come to terms with. I hope the forum can help somehow. x

Welcome Smudgedlines , welcome to the bastion of free nonjudgmental talk pro choice forum .
Everyone here has their own story to tell which you know by reading the threads , we have lost great people here and the loss to each of us is significant , friendships are formed and lost within this forum .
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends , maybe wrong yet I think it's possible the gossipers are having a field day in your community especially , as you put it " rocked our community," I hope I'm wrong !
Hoping you join in discussions and not just being an observer here , take your time or possibly just jump right in , either way , welcome .
