Bloke who hung himself today

Recommended Posts

Apparently some bloke hung himself from a bridge on the Coast Road today. If your coming from the toon, it was one of the bridges before the Tyne Tunnel tunnel turn off. He went over with such force his heed come off and was hangin in the noose. I'd say poor cunt, fair enough poor cunt, but what a selfish person doing that eh? Imagine his family now. Everyone has ups and downs but taking ye own life, I think it's a cowards way out me like. Did anyone see this happen?

 

Without knowing the circumstances it's hard to say.

 

If he'd just stepped in dog poo and couldn't take it any more, kind of OTT.

 

If he'd just lost his job, his only child had been killed in a car accident, been diagnosed with cancer and his wife had just left him, I wouldn't blame him.

 

There something that can drive anyone to that, although it's unlikely to be the same thing in two different people.

 

It's a bad, bad day when the voice of reason is Fop. People who kill themselves are mentally ill - such though that they may become convinced that the only respite they have from their problems is to end their life, and that 'soldiering on' simply isn't an option to escape the pain that they are in. They may also be convinced that they are a burden on their families, friends and so on and that they would be better off without them. I'm not advocating suicide by a long shot, people who feel like that need help. Not being ridiculed as a coward by strangers who don't know the first thing about them.

 

Textbook Stevie post by the way "here's a situation I know fuck all about, so I'll wade in with a moronic extreme opinion".

So saying that some one taking their own life is cowardice is a moronic extreme opinion? If someone did that in your family then unlucky Luke, regardless of the situation it is taking the easy option and will cause huge distress to the people left behind regardless how you look at it. If you don't agree with that fine but don't brand the opinion as something it's not you utter tool.

Fop is always the voice of reason, it just depends on how many unreasonable people are about. :D

Not nowt, just we know more.

 

Its not a 'NHS Worker' thing, a lot of it is common sense and being a little more educated in this area does make us more qualified to speak on the subject. I've looked after alot of attempted suicides and been unable to save others. All of their reasons varied and some seemed petty. But what means nothing to me may mean everything to someone else. Its all about perception and how that is affected by a mental illness, which is what depression is.

 

Being someone who has lost a family member and a friend, only just last year, I can honestly agree the aftermath for everyone left behind is horrendous. But there is no way I can imaging how horrific and desperate life must have been for them, their past their present and how they obv fear the future. Often those left behind have no idea why it has happened. depressed people can be extremely clever at hiding things until its too late and they implode. its a myth that most suicides leave a note. Their frame of mind and their illness is such that they can't think of anyone else or the consequences of their actions, they just need a release and an escape. It may seen a cowards way out to some, but I'd never have the guts to go through with that kind of thing, who's to say that makes me a stronger person, who's to say I'm not the coward cos I couldn't do it, then again my frame of mind isn't jaundiced. Personally as a single parent that would never be an option for me, but what is something happened to my child, god forbid. You just can't say, just like you lot can't presume.

I think when it comes to depression far many people seem to subscribe to the ''Cheer up and come for a pint you puff'' school of thought rather than showing any empathy or understanding.

Tell me something I don't know. And that applies to realising that suicides are not of sound mind.

Until they need it, of course.
