[QUOTE="Thebrownstreak, post: 1260983, member: 35815"] To you and I, suicide seems like the least likely answer for our problems. That is because we have the mechanisms in your heads to deal with such stress. I highly doubt that the stress from the job was the only issue tormenting this poor man. But the stress that comes with this job certainly exacerbated his problems. He did not realize there were options. A few years ago, a driver in our center also committed suicide. He was having some minor family issues. He also had a gambling problem. What was sad was he called another driver who was his best friend and let him know he had a gun. The poor guy pulled up to the field just at the same moment that he pulled the trigger. We as a society, far to often, stigmatize those with mental issues. That going for help is some sort of weakness. I feel that those who are able to reach out for help are a lot stronger than they give themselves credit for. So please, I ask you, if you know anyone who is having problems, to reach out to them. Sometimes they just need to know that someone cares. RIP you poor tortured soul. [/QUOTE]
