Jerry Christ Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I find a lot of things amusing and I'm savage sometimes among interaction with my friends. But I cannot ever joke about suicide and apparently most of you cannot understand it or you wouldn't be either. As a Resident Therapist, I can tell you that you are very lucky to never felt as low as those who attempt and commit suicide. Ideation or the thought of killing oneself is nothing but the act and willingness is beyond what most can comprehend/understand unless you have been there. That is why mental health has problems.......people are embarrassed because of douches who make fun of others who have problems which creates a bigger problem.

I am dumbfounded when I came back to this thread this morning to see people making jokes at this poor guy's expense Show some respect people. It doesn't matter if you hated the band. I wasn't a huge fan either but I'm not about to go and make cracks at the guys suicide. CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But discussing the band's music is a) relevant; b) not disrespectful; and c) not making light of his suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I unfortunately had to deal with it with two family members who hung themselves. To find people saying good and nice and joking about this shows how classless people can be.

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Suicide is hilarious! You are so cool. I liked Linkin Park for what they were. Far from a great band but they served a big purpose in my early 20s. I feel terrible for his kids. It has to be so hard to understand why their dad is gone. But to laugh at a guy who had a lot of money, fame, and a family killing himself at 41 makes you kinda sick. The guy obviously had very serious issues going on.

Also, when another poster posts a pic of a Tweet from Linkin Park and circles the words "hang with us" I just find that very disrespectful CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool to be a prick and say awful things when you hide behind a computer screen. If you don't like the guy or the band, don't be an a hole and post in the thread. People are such losers.

Gugny Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Dating back to 1983 to present day - with the last one being late night Jan., 15, 2015 - I've known, well, eight people who have committed suicide. No family. All friends and/or co-workers. The last one hurt the most. Her name was Rebecca and she lived life to the fullest. Took it right by the balls and I envied her for it. She worked for me for years and was a friend. I had ZERO idea that she battled depression. At least once/week, I think about her. I think about her very last moments and whether she was crying and wrestling with actually doing it. Or if she was certain and she was at peace before she hanged herself. I've never been mad at her and I know there's nothing I could have done to prevent it. But I do miss her and I just feel sad that she was that sad. I've spent many years devoting time to a NFP for homeless vets. Since Becky's suicide, I've often thought that switching gears and latching onto a Suicide Prevention/Awareness NFP is something I should do. I think I will. To the person who put up the picture and circled the "hang with us," part. Just delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
