Great news, I wish him well.

This time it’s two young fellas who went missing in seperate incidents in the last few days.

The stats must be rising at this stage…

I know ‘of’ 5 different suicides in Feb alone in Galway area… Country and city. 3 lads in their 20s, a mum of 3 and a teenager.

It’s shocking! 19 and 22 years old- Think one lad is from out near @chewy louie ? The 22 year old is vice president of LIT student union…

My mother’s partner, tho they had been split up for a few months, hung himself Thursday. He was severly depressed and wouldn’t seek help, which led to the split, but naturally my mother is full of guilt and blaming herself for not doing x,y or z. The bizarre thing is he went and spoke to clinical psychologist that morning and told her everything- told my mother that night and she agreed to go down that weekend and it looked like it was the start of him sorting himself out… A few hours later he ended it. I didn’t have much of a relationship with him, a very nice man, i’m just upset for the mother naturally. Then meeting that American lady last night- she is dying with Cancer, nothing to be done- she always wanted to come to Ireland so herself and her three best friends are over for 10 days- big Packers fans, but I didn’t hold that against them.

We live in such bubbles and then things like that come along and really make you ask what’s it all about. Life is crazy but like that American lady, you just got to live it to the very end.

Sorry to hear that Mark. Life is a cunt at times.

Sorry for your (and your mother’s) loss.
It’s such a shit thing to happen and very very difficult to deal with/make sense of.

There was another lad found in the river last week and a woman rescused from there the week before.

Condolences, pal. I wouldn’t have made fun of your beard and jacket yesterday had I known this.

rescue operation going through a river near where I work for the past month or so. 50 odd year old woman threw herself in, and they still havent found her. must be horrible for search parties doing that work. seems to be a much higher rise in numbers of middle age people committing suicide lately. have heard of a good few cases in the past couple of months.

Bloody hell mate. That is really tough. Sorry to hear that.

The difficulty is seeking help is a terrible hurdle to overcome in some cases. That said, there is also this notion out there that once you seek help then everything will be fine. In my experience that is certainly not the case, in fact if you open up to the wrong person then they can do more harm than good.

Lucky you opened up to some of us, pal. We really are a great bunch of lads. Well I used to be anyway.

Cheers lads.
