[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 692220, member: 1550"] Nobody expects suicide. From what I've seen amongst my kids peers, and they all knew kids who did it, there is no talk of it, no warning. One boy shot himself with his police fathers gun. He had had problems, but he had been with his girlfriend the night before and she said he'd seemed fine. No suicidal talk. There is no way to predict this, or any aspect of the future. I can say that I've been on the board a long, long time. Nobody has posted a suicide on this board that I ever saw. Threats yes. The actual act, no. Having had mental health issues myself, they do not just go away on their own and we don't tell the world how we really feel inside. It is hard to talk about and depression causes a hopeless feeling anyway...if we know somebody, anybody will not validate our feelings, we shut down. But that doesn't change what's inside. Do I know your son? Not at all. I was more addressing Lils son and my impression of him and his biology. Anger is common in depression. So is the feeling that you can't do anything right. And worthlessness. Anyhow, nobody can force our adult kids to get help. And nobody can convince another that getting mental health services from the right person can save a life or at least change a life. So I won't try. Have a peaceful night to all!!! [/QUOTE]
