Yeah. This crushed me. Nobody saw it coming. He was my running buddy from the age of 19 to 24. He was my best friend at that time. Then it was just every now and then that we met up. Cuz he got married and had kids. So it was just texts, calls and a few outings at a bar every now and then. I actually hadn't spoken to him in months when I got the call from his wife. She's a nice lady. I was there when he first met her.

I'm only posting it to help her. I wouldn't have posted it otherwise.

Geez, Beardown, that's awful. I'm so sorry to hear about this.

A pretty close friend of mine committed suicide when we were in high school. It's been 30 years and I still think about him a lot.

Puts the boards bickering into perspective.

This happened last week. It's so sad. She has 2 kids. She wasn't working.

His wife needs help with money. So if you can spare a couple bucks, it's needed for her. She's got a gofundme.

Thanks.

That's terrible news, Beardown.

So much helplessness and isolation right now. Especially with kids. A psychologist who specializes in OCD and childhood issues told me he has so many patients right now that he is having to ration his time to his patients who are doing relatively well, although "relatively" can change at the drop of a hat.

I’m worried this winter will be terrible for mental health.

Just so everyone knows, this board has a history of rallying around posters who admit to being a in a bad place.
