Sorry but I need help!

i cant explain why... it was his decision, a poor decision, but still his. i've been suicidal, its what finally got me treatment. all i can say is, when i would try, i wasnt thinking of anyone else. to take your life is the most selfish thing someone can do.

his pain must have been horrible. sometimes its hard to see the light when its so very dark.. you did a world of good for him, simply by being a voice in the wilderness and a shoulder to cry on.

i'm so sorry for your loss, i absolutely empathize with you. please dont beat yourself up, there is nothing you could have done. its sad, its very sad to lose someone close to us.

be proud of how you touched his life. be sad for what a waste for him to take his life. and be careful that you do not fall into a depression..

i'm so sorry about this, i know how hard this can be..

I am sorry I know you are hurting from it
and trying to understand

he was coming back
but maybe he just had a severly bad day where he felt completely unable to do anything
we all know that we hurt those that we leave behind but at that time he was not thinking that

He just felt that he couldn't go forward anymore

remember all of the conversations you had
remember those times he lifted your spirit

I set this group up a few years ago and everything has been brilliant since! Yes I tried the suicide route but woke up and saw the sunshine! In 6 years haven't lost one and now doubting if I should be doing this!

do not doubt yourself
you have an incredible rate if he is your first in 6 years.
as a person who has dealt with depression you know that there are time when there is no real reason why
it is what is happening in that moment that second

I can relate a great deal.....
I worked the suicide hotline for mental health for a long time
I basically grew up with mental health as my family work for it
and I have dealt with depression myself

you cannot save all of them
some will tell you want you want to hear but will do as they want
but that is not your fault in anyway
you have given them an outlet, a place that they can go
that is more then what they had before

Please don't doubt yourself. In 6 years you must've helped a number of people find their way back. Don't let this ruin all of your hard work.

Plain & simple, suicide is the choice and decision of the individual. It is my belief that it is essentially up to that person whether or not they think they can continue on with life in the mind set they are struggling with. Sometimes they can find help that shakes them out of their funk and helps them to find something worth living for. But sometimes there is nothing an outsider can do for them-it has to come from within.

You did the best you could, and you should be proud to have helped. He wouldn't want you to give up on everyone else who needs you.

I know that what you are all saying is right, but why do I feel so **** an that I feel responsible?

I looked after this young man daily, What have I done wrong?

you feel responsible because he was one of yours
each person that comes in there becomes yours
you feel the need to protect them and help them

but remember you didn't do anything wrong
you did all you could to give him a stable place

when this happened
he was in a bad place ....
he was not able to think clear enough to contact you or anyone

it tears you apart that the seams
but you could not have done anything differently
don't second guess yourself
you have others that still need you....

you have six years of success.....that is incredible
think of all of those that you have seen during that time
