Popular Post PMookie Posted July 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2021 One of my brothers had been dealing with severe depression and anxiety for a few years now, and he had gone to two treatment facilities recently to try and get some help. We thought he was going to turn the corner, but it got to be too much for him, so he took his own life today. Doctors and therapists tried everything, and nothing was working. Meds never got him even-keeled, and anxiety had taken over. Please, look after those who fall into depression and get them help as soon as possible. Growing-up, he was my hero. He leaves behind a special needs daughter and his wife. If you’re the prayerful type, please say a prayer for his soul, and one for his wife and daughter. Sad, sad day….

Peaksy68 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 So very sad, a truly awful disease that afflicts so many people. Look after yourself and those close to you. I would like to echo your thoughts on trying to help those suffering into early treatment. Ask if you think someone isn't ok, and try to direct them to a professional for help if you can. ole gray, PMookie, GolfSpy_SHARK and 3 others 6 Quote 849 Pro Evenflow Riptide 6.0 F8 3 & 5 Woods Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 TS2 7 Wood Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 Zipcore Wedges 50,54,58 - Project X LZ 5.5 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to deal with. My wife was on the phone constantly several years ago with one of her nieces. It didn't help though; she eventually committed suicide.
