On a serious note

I lost another friend yesterday to suicide. He is the second person this year to take his own life whom I served with onboard the uss Scranton. All I really want is to get the word out that there are other options. We all have our breaking point and our breaking point is different than others. I just hope that those who are reading this know that there are better options than taking your own life. Rest in peace brother.

My condolences to you. I have seen my fair share of suicides and never something I want to see again.
 
Very sorry to hear that and you are right, there are always other options. The sad part is they don't think of the family they leave behind, they suffer for a long time afterwards. RIP
 
The suicide rate among service members breaks my heart. We lose too many good men and women each year in the line of duty and then to lose exponentially more this way just kills me. The mental health side of the military needs to be seriously looked at.

My condolences brother.

I didnt disbelieve that he had passed. I should have wrote "I hope the cause of death isn't true". Rest in peace. You were an amazing artist.

Sorry for your loss.
 
That seriously sucks. Remember him from Mork and Mindy as a kid. Killed it in Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society.
 
While this does suck... even speaking about a strung out Hollywood jillionaire killing himself in the same thread as service members killing themselves is a joke.

In hindsight I should have started a new thread. The point I hoped to make (edit: and still hope to make) when I started this thread was that no matter who you are, rich or poor, service member or non service member, there is help and you are not alone. Suicide is not the answer. Period. I apologize if I have offended any fellow service members. Especially ones who have lost fellow members to the act of suicide.

Your opening post I believe wasn't directed to only service members, but more towards your friend you lost. With that said, depression doesn't care who you are. Really is heart breaking. Any human being , veteran, rich, poor, male or female, or the kid who was bullied, feels they need to take their life is tragic.
