an odd topic-but yet another bloke was found this morning hanging, this time from a willow
tree a few doors down from us
so far we had my sons best mate do it-in his 20's, from a motorway bridge-the bloke about 10 doors up did it a couple of months back, he was in his 30's
now this lad did it in the early hours, and did it so his ex would look outta the window and see him
sadly-it was in someones garden and their 11year old son spotted him first cos it was outside his bedroom window
this is opposite the local junior school
he was 22
his ex didnt want him-so he hanged himself

apparently this has happened several times in the area-but it dont hit the news cos the cops dont want another 'bridgenorth' epidemic

WTF!

you just never know whats going on inside someones head

sorry i sound depressing but im just wondering whats going on

tis sad! 

I've known two people that have done it...  one was my friends sister, she was 22 and did it in her parents garage (so her mum found her), the other was a different friends ex boyfriend... who did it in prison.

Also.... we have been told that the father of the woman who I bought my house from hanged himself over on the green over the road from me.

so.... if I have known 2 people & heard of another I had connections to, making three people that have done it....  maybe its not so much an epidemic in your area.... as a very sad but not uncommon thing that happens

Does your head in though doesn't it?

I've never really understood hanging, in a suicide sense. Surely it is the least practical way of going about it, and probably the most selfish in terms of visual image for whoever discovers them. I imagine that finding somebody hanging is an image that would never leave you, and it would leave a long lasting and damaging impression.

It is a sensitive subject, and it is never nice when people kill themselves, but I don't think I will ever understand the logic behind hanging as opposed to easier and cleaner methods.

im with you maths on what you say
i think its an 'impact' thing-saying this is what youve made me do
rather than an overdose which is quieter and more of a personal thing and ive done it in my home so relevent people will find me
i maybe wrong
and im sorry if ive offended anyone with my opinion
im just finding the whole situation a bit odd at the moment

you haven't offended me.   and I think you may be spot on about the impact thing.... both those I knew that did it were "angry" as well rock bottom when they did it.   they both had people they 'blamed'

cos I was very close to my friend, & knew her sister very well also, its something that I've discussed openly for years...  I think you have to ...  to try to make some sense of it, or at least realise that perhaps there is no sense to it....

I do understand how it completely does your head in...  it shook me to the core for a long time..

i suppose im just getting scared for my lads
i bloody well hope they can talk to us instead of doing summat daft
but the lad that did it last year was 'ill in the head' hearing voices etc..
like i say-ive probably worded that wrong, so i'll offend someone lol
joking aside
it does make you worry
this lad-the one recently-cut off his family, lived in a hostel
he used to sit outside our local-asking for fags-we gave them to him..
well you never do know do ya..
what a f*cking shame

People always blame themselves when a loved one commits suicide - was there something they could have down to help? Did they miss something?


I actually don't think there is anything that can be done for the majority.


In the cases I know about - the boy in question did not let on to anyone that he was in any way ill or depressed or unhappy.


In the second case, a work colleague of mine and a friend - was extremely depressed and she refused any offer of help - from friends and from doctors.


Two very different cases but sadly with the same outcome.

yeah... I think I have finally come to that conclusion.   My friends sister was ill... we knew she wasn't right... though none of us knew how bad she was.  My friend didn't know til after, but her mum had known she had/was contemplating suicide... and as a precaution she'd removed all the medicines from the house.

Prior to it happening, my friend had snapped with her sister...  she'd been lashing out at everyone and on the face of it was being completely unreasonable...  the last time I saw my friend before her sister died I'd supported my friend, telling her she was in the right & her sister was being out of order... and I encouraged her to tell her sister to back off...  guilt trips all round!

But... she was ill... we know that now.  It wasn't her mum's fault, my friends fault, my fault, her boyfriends fault...  she was ill & I think whatever anyone had done she would have still found a way to do it.
