A friend of mine committed suicide on Monday, October 19th. I am still in shock, and all I do is cry and lie around. I can't believe this. His death has brought to light many things. One of the things is that you gotta be nice to people, you never know what demons they are facing. Bob, he must have had deep secrets, because he is one of the last people I'd ever think to do this. It still means tread gently with everyone, you never know what they are facing. That is teaching me so much. I need to be the best person I can be. I need to treat people a lot better, and have more patience. Life's short, you can't waste your time angry and mean. At the same time, you gotta live it up. You have one life, you gotta live for real and do the things you are afraid to do. Quotes from Saw coming up here, but a lot of us are lucky that we don't have a timer on when our death will be, we have the luxury of not knowing, while a lot of people don't have that luxury.
Just so much on my mind. But at the same time it brings me so much inspiration. Atleast through death we can learn to celebrate life. I just gotta start livin'.

Get some help. Go talk to someone at your college counseling center.
Any person who has a friend do this needs grief counseling at least.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. As anon suggests you should probably seek someone to talk to during this difficult time. It's not healthy to keep all your grief to yourself. However, it is "good" that you're able to take something positive from something so sad. The deaths of people I've known have always prompted me to reflect and think about how I could live my life differently.
Wow, I'm sorry for your loss.
It must be difficult getting your bearings on things right now, but take your time. His death clearly meant something to you and opened your eyes to something.
*Hugs*
I can feel w/you! A friend of mine tried it on sunday and is still in coma. Hope you get over it. Propz Pilgrim
