im very sorry to hear about your friend. there is really nothing anyone can say to make your pain of the loss any beter but just know that we do care and will be here for you.
SUICIDE SHOULD NOT BE A TABOO SUBJECT!!!
im shure that there are more people on this board that have contimplated the same thing but are too afrade to talk about it because of the reprocusions that may come with the discussion.
we all must take a hard look at ourselfs and extend suport to people who have reached this point. i have reached that point several times in the past 11 yrs w/ch. but i would rather be here to enjoy what little life the deamon alows me to have. (im not perfict and have had counceling for this in the past)
any help is good help when you have reached the point that you feel that nothing will help. most citys offer free help or help based on your income. if you cant find any help of this kind. confide in someone that you trust with anything you could have to say. a best friend can be a good ear.
i wish you well carl
my simpathies
