In light of two high profile suicides this week.

 

If you are struggling I want you to know that you matter.

 

It is ok to say that you're not ok.

I'll second that. It is amazing how many people - successful or not, rich or poor, have taken their own lives

Amen! My childhood best friend's mom committed suicide about 15 years ago. She was like a second mom to me. It pains me that people hurt so bad that suicide is the solution.

1-800-273-8255, call it if you're having those thoughts and talk to someone. You matter, you're important.

 

Even when the dark comes crashing through, when you need a friend to carry you, and you're broken on the ground, you will be found. Let the sun come streaming in, cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again. Lift your head and look around, you will be found.

Several years ago, a club to which I was a member hosted what was then known as the Futures Tour (now the Symetra Tour).   On Monday and Tuesday of tournament week, several of the ladies would play with members for course knowledge.   I had the absolute pleasure of enjoying a round with Erica Blasberg.   Erica was an extremely attractive young lady and ever so pleasant.   A couple of years afterward, she committed suicide.   While my time with her was brief, she gave no indications that she would ever even consider suicide.  Given her appearance and personality, I could only see a bight future for her.   One can never truly know what's going through the mind of another or what event may occur in another's life to cause such an action.

I'm watching Parts Unknown today in memory of Tony and this came to mind...

 

“Kindness is important...to each other as much as it is to our own self.”

 

I've had two friends commit suicide in the past three years. I've also experienced some awful calls at work. I understand how people can hurt. I wish we all understood how to approach mental health care so that it was as causal as going to the doctor for a broken bone.

 

At the end of the day, a gesture as simple as smiling at a stranger could make a monumental difference in their life. Be good to each other :)

I absolutely agree with everything said. With suicide rates skyrocketing as of recent, mental health is now a huge concern but also a huge mystery to so many people.

 

Treat everyone with as much love and compassion as possible. You have no idea how they're actually feeling that day and a friendly gesture or good conversation could save their life. We've seen far too many lives taken by mental health disorders and it's especially painful when they're close to us.

 

Always lend a hand, smile or shoulder when the opportunity presents itself. I thank God, my family, golf and this forum for being an escape from the troubling world that we live in.

XOXO this thread...

 

Not sure how many muscles it takes to smile, but a kind gesture, a nod a smile to a friend to a stranger to someone on a train, plane, bus, on the street, anywhere at anytime has the potential to make someone's day and warm their heart..

I have no way to bring this here but friend me on Facebook - Kevin Loughran and you will see an incredible post from a former member of mine whose Dad committed suicide. Her Dad, John Van Der Puy was a friend of mine. I performed Michelle's wedding. Her sister Sarah's car accident that ultimately led to John and another man's suicide was the most difficult period imaginable.

I've suffered from anxiety and depression all my adult life. While I've never personally considered suicide, I can understand it, especially as I age. You get to a point in life where you realize that there is more behind you than in front. As one who finds himself in “dark places”, I always appreciate it when someone is simply there and patient with me.

 

For you believers, if you remember Job's trials, his 3 friends sat with him for a week. Then they began to question what he had done to to deserve such trials. They did good to show up and sit with him. They failed when they opened their mouths.

 

If you don't understand depression, it's hard to understand what a person who suffers from this is going through. My advice is simply be a friend.

Blessings on your journey Jon and nice analysis on Job.

 

I've fond that the best things to do on pastoral visits are - say hello - sit down, ask what's up - listen - read Scripture - listen - pray, sing a hymn, listen some more, pronounce a blessing, listen, give them my cell number and ask when they'd like me to come back but tell them they can call sooner if they need me.

 

Very few of the words that I speak are mine. It's just better that way. :)

Go read the article in Golf Digest about Feherty. He gives a very good account of his battles. When my dark times come, I don't want to do anything save sit in a dark room and watch TV. I'm really not watching it but use it as a distractions.

 

Getting people out of the house, especially if they don't want to always helps me. Take them somewhere for a quiet lunch, to the golf store, putting green, etc... again, they will protest but thank you afterwards.

I am not a psychiatrist by medical standards, but giving someone a sense of purpose; a sense of belonging can serve as incredible medicine.

 

It's nice to see this thread encourage so many to share their experiences and offer to be good humans.

Suicide is an issue that I take very personally.  If you want to know what suicide does to the surviving family members, just read this...  http://woeckener.blogspot.com/2016/05/in-memory-of-gregory-david-woeckener.html

 

I have two lives lived now.  My life before Gregory, and now after.

 

Those of you who don't think anyone cares about you, put down the computer for a moment and know that someone I am sure gives a damn about you.

 

Unlike almost everything else in life, there is no due over for suicide.  It's permanent and you don't get a 2nd chance to fix it.

 

PM me if you want to talk.  I'll be happy to share my experiences with you.

Good thread and relevant to everyone.

 

In Life I believe everyone is fighting their own battles. We don't know what they are when we see the facade but a kind word or gesture to even the grumpiest/angriest of people might help them more than you or I will ever know.

 

Hard to follow that advice when an angry motorist shouts or gesticulates abuse at you but worth bearing in mind before reacting.

 

 

I worked with a chap who was (seemed) happy and positive in life. He threw himself in front of a train! no tell tale signs and nothing obvious as we all thought about it for days after, he was least likely to have any problems, we thought.

 

 

At GSWAG...I am so heartbroken for your loss, I clicked the link and when it got to the part about your 15 year old son I couldnt read anymore, sorry. I have a young son and I worry every day.

The topic of suicide is even an actual topic, and I can say that a very big problem is often found in the 21st century and most often in a number of young people. I work in a rehabilitation center that you can find on the platform iinsight.biz and I work with people who had suicidal intentions and were stopped by their relatives in time before doing something stupid. But they took a lot of pills, but they weren't that dangerous, and they just had intoxication in their system. Most often, people who wanted to commit suicide are very emotionally sensitive, and we have to be very careful with them, because an extra word can lead to consequences.

Thank you for posting this. I see the Veterans Administration for my medical. When I first started going to them, after loosing my job and medical insurance, suicide prevention is extremely high on their agenda. Everytime I call for a prescription refill or to schedule an appointment I am always asked about this and assured I have resources at my disposal through the VA if needed.  I am uncertain what the suicide rate is among the general population, but I do know my brother and sister veterans are at a higher risk.

I retired 21 years ago from the USAF, I am pretty sure we have a much lower suicide rate than the Marines and the Army. When a Solider or Marine retire or separate. there is very little draw down time, you could be getting shot at in Afghanistan ( before the evacuation) and two months later your a civilian wondering what happened. 

There is also a mentality amongst the military that if you seek help, you have signed your career away, that's the way it used to be when I joined in the 80's, it has not changed much from what I understand.

Thank you for posting this. I am see the Veterans Administration for my medical. When I first started going to them, after loosing my job and medical insurance, suicide prevention is extremely high on their agenda. Everytime I call for a prescription refill or to schedule an appointment I am always asked about this and assured I have resources at my disposal through the VA if needed.  I am uncertain what the suicide rate is among the general population, but I do know my brother and sister veterans are at a higher risk.

In my role at work, I am role modeling; I am talking about how I have gone to EAP and that I speak to a therapist.  I want our guys, my crew to see that it's something they should consider if they start feeling the world closing in on them.  

Life is hard and we all can afford to cut each other some slack.  

Depression and anxiety are perfectly normal behaviors to acquire and there are always people who will be willing to listen to you before it manifests itself. 

Keep up the good work Paul!
