[QUOTE="brakel, post: 162888, member: 416"] There's just no making sense of suicide by people with mental illness. It's like asking why does the cancer want to kill people. A friend of mine is bipolar and when he was spiraling down the first time before he was diagnosed he just didn't make any sense. Fortunately before he hit the bottom his family was able to get him help and he's been doing well for over twenty years now. I read the diary of someone in my extended family who suffered from depression and did kill himself. The logic in his writing just wasn't there. He was a genius amung geniuses so it was written well but how he felt and why that meant he was going to kill himself just didn't make any sense. He and I were so much alike except that I didn't get the depression gene or whatever it is. His death still haunts me 13 years later. We all knew that he was having problems. He went to psychiatrists and psychologists but they didn't help him. If only he had lived long enough to find something that would help. He hanged himself from a tree. He did it in a tree he knew that his dad would see in the morning because he thought his dad would be best able to handle it. But he couldn't get him down by himself and had to get his wife to help. I have a recurring nightmare that I'm in the woods where he hanged himself on the night that he did it. Sometimes it's foggy and sometimes it's rainy but every time I can't keep up with him. Every time when I finally find him he's dead. [/QUOTE]
