CSpenceFLY 1 #1 May 31, 2006 After a weekend from hell,not my stay at Emerald Coast but the trip there and back,and getting the news about Shannon,I must bring you another bit of bad news.A friend we knew here in Georgia and Florida as New York Brian,Daskal here on DZ.com took his own life this past weekend.It is my understanding that he was upset about having failed the bar exam for the second time.I had not seen him recently so I don't know what else might have been going on in his life.Brian was a good person,one of those that would do anything for a friend. People this should never be thought of as an option.Everything,no matter what it is that is going on in your life,is temporary.I don't care what you think you can't handle this is not the way.Find help!!Find help in your friends,find help in a church,find help at a hospital,FUCK,write a note,staple it to your shirt and then go drink till you pass out somewhere that someone will find you.Brian was in his early 20s.From what I understand he was worried about letting down the people around himand keeping others happy.Fuck all that,stay alive and make yourself happy. .

Bolas 5 #18 June 1, 2006 That sucks, I met him a few times, seemed very laid back back. We always joked he had mafia ties. (Dark humor below, apologies in advance) Think he got whacked by the mafia and they just made it look like suicide? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #20 June 1, 2006 If anyone is thinking of suicide, please reach out one last time. There are people who know and understand that darkness, that never-ceasing pain. People who understand what it's like to sit at the edge of the abyss and feel the pull to slide down into it. There are people who understand, who care more than you'd believe, and who will hold your hand all the way back from the edge. Do not think you are as alone as it seems - there are people all around you who know that blackness intimately, who've fought it...and are willing to help you fight it, too. Call someone. Tell someone. Write a note to a virtual stranger - me - and know that you'll be heard. Reach out one more time...'cause there is help; there is a life after this blackness, there is a way through and there can be happiness again. I know this; and I promise you this, too. Just reach out one more time. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian3576 0 #24 June 1, 2006 QuoteLife does get much better! your life got much better, not everybodys does though i think sometimes there is something majestic about somebody committing suicide, something so glorius in it's purity. One final act of doing something for yourself, a way of taking control when you may have been out of control Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
