Any relationship to Kevin Millwood of MLB fame? I guess he grew up in/around Bessemer City.

Suicide is not the answer. I'm sorry for you and your friend.

Back in college, one of my roommates volunteered for the Suicide hotline. They asked him to leave after one day.

Whenever I hear of suicide, the theme song from M*A*S*H comes to mind.

Suicide is Painless.

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please.

I feel for her family and whoever found her.

I heard a piece on NPR one time about suicide. They had an expert on and he said suicide is not a selfish thing and most peoples ideas of the reasons behind it are wrong. He said that the person believes they are a burden and the world and their family and friends would better off without them around. But after hearing what my friends note said I have a hard time believing that. His note seemed rather selfish. Then again his note made him seem a bit insane/sick too. Unlike what the guy on NPR said I bet there are a ton of different reasons for it and you can't just say it's always this one reason like he was saying.

Sorry for the ramble, I'm tired.

From my favorite band - helped me when a friend did this several years ago.

"War On Drugs" - Barenaked Ladies

She likes to sleep with the radio on

So she can dream of her favorite song

The one that no one has ever sung since she was small

She'll never know that she made it up

She had a soul and we ate it up

Thrown away like a paper cup

The music falls

The only flaw in her detailed plan

Is where she wins back the love of her man

Everyone knows that he's never coming back

He took her heart and she took his name

He couldn't stand taking all the blame

He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves

Of all these demons haunting us

To keep us company

In the dream I refuse to have

She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath

We're left to deal with the aftermath again

On behalf of humanity

I will fight for your sanity

How profound such profanity can be

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves

Of all these demons haunting us

To keep us company

Won't it be odd to be happy like we

Always thought we're supposed to feel

But never seem to be

Near where I live there's a viaduct

Where people jump when they're out of luck

Raining down on the cars and trucks below

They've put a net there to catch their fall

Like it'll stop anyone at all

What they don't know is when nature calls, you go

They say that Jesus and mental health

Are just for those who can help themselves

But what good is that when you live in hell on earth?

When the very fear that makes you want to die

Is just the same as what keeps you alive

It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves

Of all these demons haunting us

To keep us company

Won't it be odd to be happy like we

Always thought we're supposed to feel

But never seem to be

Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs

My hands were tied and the phone was bugged

Another died and the world just shrugged it off

Thoughts and prayers are with the family. Sorry to hear about your friend Grits....

[Mr. Scot]

Suicide is most accurately described as a permanent solution to temporary problems.

Always hate to hear stories like this.

ive never understood suicide. i dont know if ive just never been "depressed" enough or been in "that spot" that someone has GOT to be in to be able to take their own life. i just dont get it. it's sad because it's usually over something that is so small and insignificant.

[sunbunny]

Whoa. Totally disagree with it usually being over something small and insignificant.

[Hawk]

the human brain is a wonderful thing, no?!

I believe depression can and will mess with the brain enough to make people do things they certainly wouldn't normally want to do or ever plan to do. Such a waste at such a wonderful time in her life.

[Wither]

I'll never feel sorry for someone who takes their own life while their loved ones have to suffer the aftermath.

You can go a little lighter on them, you know.

If you ever get to that point, you will understand. Until then, just trust that it is possible, and it is usually not over something insignificant.
