I also know he felt like a huge burden with the thousands I spent on my lawyer trying to defend him, which is a common feeling. I made sure he never felt that way but then when it was all for nothing, he felt horrible. I think he truly thought I would be just fine, another common feeling, like we would be better off without him.
That's why it sucks to hear people say depressed people are better off dead. The start to believe it.
Something else to think about. Did you know physicians die by suicide more than any other occupation? Cuz they can't get help for any imbalances or anything or it can affect their job. Again, stigma. A chemical shock in the brain isn't always ongoing. Another thing to consider that is very real is genetics. All of my 6 siblings have tried to kill themselves and we were all raised by different families. Our birth mother did die from suicide 8 months before my boy. My parents of suicide group all report of multiple suicides in their family. Something is up with that but they're only beginning to figure it out.
But I'm still here! Lucky you guys ;) Anyway carry on...
