If not for you don't do it for the people around you. Your death means suffering for your friends and family. Think about how they'll feel Justin when they find out. Live for them. Talk to them and they'll get you through this dark patch. That's what friends and family are for.
Hopefully you realise that even though none of us know you, that we all don't want anything to happen to you. Hopefully something like that will make you think somewhat positively. Stay safe, duder, we're worried about you.
Dude, seriously. If this is your only outlet to talking to someone then talk to us. Everything seems like the worst in the now but things will get better.
I’ve been their duder and it’s not worth it. Stop and think, you’ve posted on the forums I think that’s a good step just by doing this your reaching out to the community so even if you don’t have someone close you can talk to you can call a local support hotline. Hell even MP some duder you know.
Life is so beautiful, terrifying, amazing, daunting. I understand what you're going through, you think there is no where to go from here. That is only true if you make it so, and you shouldn't. True happiness is difficult to achieve, but is worth fighting for; worth living for.
You always have the power to turn everything around, you just need the help to do so. And trust me, there are armies of people willing to help a person in your situation.
I really hope you don't go through with it, Justin. Whatever pain you are suffering, its not worth ending your life; giving up the gift of existence.
I'll be thinking about you man, and I'm pulling for you to make it through this trying time.
I have been searching though the GB crews twitter followers to try to find a "Justin" or "Potatoes" in Edmonton to try to get a last name but haven't had any luck.
Did anyone consider this user has a terminal disease?
That's a possibility, but with the cryptic text we have to go on suicide isn't a very far fetched scenario. We just don't know and unfortunately we might never.
Nothing on this earth scares me more than the thought of my own death. So whatever you are going through my be awful. But take a second and read this thread, and please reconsider. We may just be random people on the internet but we do care.
Don't do it duder.
I know exactly what you mean. Whenever I think about dieing/death and get pretty major panic attacks. I suffer with depression and have felt really low at times, but dieing scares the shit out of me.
I really hope someone was able to reach out and save him.
The deep dark abyss can wait, there's still much more to be done. More than you've known, more than you've felt. You are one human among billions, in an era of great changing. The scope of your world, of our world, is not a mark of insignificance. It's a fact that frees you.
The universe doesn't notice, there are no fated punishments, no necessary bonds or burdens. You are free to change, free to be happy, free to choose to live.
It is easy to want, but can be difficult to choose. We don't have to go at it alone.
You're my brother Justin. We're all in this together. I don't know you but we need more people like you that say thank you every once in a while. Keep being cool.

Im the same way. I'm in a particular low point in my life and every night I'm afraid to go to sleep for fear of not waking up, and death/dying/not existing is a constant in my mind. It really sucks. Depression fucking sucks.

That is not good. I honestly recommend going to just see your doctor and letting him know. I know it can be hard (I am a psychology major and even I was nervous to go to my doctor and talk to a therapist), but once you do, you will feel weight lifted off your shoulders. My doctor prescribed me a low dose of Xanax and whenever I feel an attack coming on it immediately calms me down.
It gets better duder, I am living through that right now.
You are not alone in this. Many of us here have been through this. I hope you didn't do it and if you read this find help. Plenty of support here and in other places.
If you care a fuck about Ryan Davis, don't throw something away that he would have surely done anything to cling onto. Every day you can hang on is a day he doesn't get to have. And you do. So do something with it. Even if it is super tiny and feels insignificant at the time.
Also, if you are going to do something, don't fucking do it during the holidays. Don't rob the people you care about not only of your existence, but of the one time of year when they're supposed to be able to find some joy and humanity for the rest of their life.
At the very least, promise yourself to put it off for awhile. Maybe by the time that day comes, you'll have changed your mind. If you can't do that, then call 1-800-273-8255 and ask them for help. What have you got to lose by making one last phone call?
BTW, we are all human pieces of shit. Stick around.
Woah. No way. I hope this isn't what we think it is, please. Please no. Just talk to us, fellow duder. Giant Bomb has become like a second home. It's so awesome and helpful and everyone is nice. It's so unlike the rest on the internet. We can talk this through. Just look at all this support! Please don't let it be too late.
I'm scared that he didn't even look at this thread after he posted it. I hope the admins can get the guy's email or something and get through to him. If you are reading, please don't do it. Listen to the people here.
I really, really hope you're reading this thread. If you are, look at the response you're getting from people you've never even met. Now imagine how your close friends and family would feel if you went through with this.
You may well believe that nobody cares if you live or die. This thread should put that notion to bed immediately.
Don't know how you feel, but the lowest of lows is a terrible place to be in... find something to live for. If that fails, find another. And another. And another. It will be easier, if you try to concentrate. Even if you can't... just try and talk ok? We are here for you, even if you feel like you have no-one!
It's been almost 8 hours, you guys can see if he has logged in lately or something? Or done something else on the site besides posting this? @chaser324@gamer_152?
You know, as depressing as this thread is, it's so good to see everyone band together for the well being of others. I'm proud of you all.
That aside, I don't know if this really is a suicide note, or anything along those lines, but as a man who's tried to commit suicide before in the past; it's really not worth it. At the risk of sounding cheesy, it gets better duder; you just got to think positive. Get help. Talk to someone. You're never in this alone.
Please stop whatever you are or had been planning, just stop and talk to someone else. Right now your pain is temporarily exceeding your ability to cope with it, that won't always be the case, especially if you talk to someone qualified. There are many people whose entire livelihood revolves around helping people in your situation, you don't even have to ask for help, you just talk to them and they will give help. This is a thing we care about because it's worth caring about.
@potatoes: Hey man, I hope you are OK. Having a home here makes you a kindred spirit, and it would be awful to lose you from the world. I think you should talk to someone, even if it is just a stranger on the internet. It's never so bad that we can't get it better. I hope you can still read all these messages, because I wan't to buy you a drink and kick your ass at Street Fighter.
